Erik Ten Hag spoke to a Man United player as “today he killed us” and made a promise to withdraw him in the upcoming game, NOT Marcus Rashford.

Brighton defeated Manchester United 3-1 in the match.

The United goal by Hannibal Mejbri was hardly a consolation. Danny Welbeck, Pascal Groß, and Joao Pedro scored goals for Brighton.

Compared against Brighton’s 57% possession rate, the Red Devils only managed 43% of the ball.

Four of United’s 14 shots on goal, out of a possible 14, were successful. In comparison, Brighton had 10 total shots, of which 8 were successful in stopping Andre Onana from scoring.

The 487 passes made by Erik ten Hag’s team had an 85% success rate.

With a 91% passing accuracy, the Seagulls completed 659 passes successfully.

One of the underdogs who stood out the most in a game where the most of United’s players didn’t show up or play well was Scott McTominay.

After a successful international break with Scotland, the midfielder received a start from the very beginning. With six goals, he presently leads all scorers in the ongoing Euro qualifiers.

The Scotsman played 85 minutes without scoring or providing an assist. The fact that McTominay only had 22 touches of the ball is frightening for a midfielder.

Only 15 of his 17 passes from midfield were completed, for an 88% success rate.

While on the field, the 26-year-old failed to complete a single crucial pass or cross. The Carrington academy alumnus attempted a long ball and succeeded in sending it into the goal.

McTominay failed not score on any of his shots. He made two dribbles, winning both of them.

The player competed in three ground matches, winning two of them. He does not have to complete an aerial challenge. He fumbled the ball three times and only threw one interception.

McTominay didn’t make a single clearance or tackle.
