The video assistant referee (VAR) fooled Manchester United! Watch how the video assistant referee (VAR) disallowed two goals scored by Manchester United. England referees are definitely biased against us.

We are not going to talk about it or compare it to anything else. It will not seem important anymore all of a sudden.

Although the second part of Erik ten Hag’s tenure is still young, it will affect how we see this team for now. People are judging United by this early in the season.

And if the reviews on the first weekend were positive, this was more of a worry. It was not quite the meltdown that United had a lot of last season.

They were tougher to play against for most of the afternoon because they were more organized and in charge. Unfortunately, they are unable to break their chaos habit.

During a boring first half, United gave up an easy first goal. When the game got more exciting after halftime, they rode their luck until a winner in the 95th minute that looked like it should have been a gift.

It felt very familiar to not clear a corner and then forget to defend half of the penalty area in the second phase. Things were getting tough for Brighton at the time.

So a point that seemed to give Ten Hag’s new side more faith disappeared, and the old questions came back.

The team does look better, but are the changes enough? They are more tight and better at pushing, but they are not making enough chances and are making mistakes in defense.

It puts a lot of stress on next week’s game at Old Trafford against Liverpool.

Ten Hag’s team did win here in May, but it seemed like a one-time thing. Brighton had won four of their last five Premier League games against United.

In many ways, United is trying to be like Brighton under Ineos. They are United’s worst enemy, but they are also their model in many ways.

They need to be better than Brighton, but that is the point. This club does a lot of good things. If they lose a highly regarded boss, they hire someone that no Premier League club had even thought of. Just do it again when he goes that way.

In recent years, a lot of players have left the Amex, but this summer has been more steady, and they have spent more on new players than United. All of them are young players who can be sold for a profit, and many of them were signed in clever ways. There are teams ahead of Mainz, Nordsjälland, and Gothenburg.

It is clear that they play like Roberto De Zerbi’s team now that Fabian Hurzeler is their head coach. He is 31 years old. The two forwards are still there, and the wingers still fly forward. When they are deep, they try to trick the press.

Almost every “big” club wants to be like that when it comes to trade market hits and staying together. United is the same. They have been going back and forth between styles and fads for too long. The Seagulls earned the win more than any other team, and Hurzeler looks like he will be another great boss for them.

Ten Hag will always remember how a teacher 23 years younger than him beat him. He may have made it through the summer, but early in the season, the pressure could rise, and he needs to avoid outcomes like this.

Sir Jim Ratcliffe’s biggest risk as an owner is to stay with him. Under Ineos, United is starting to do better, and their summer moves look like they were smart. These people can not pay for many more games like this.
