THE FANS’ VERDICTS

SAM PEOPLES (thepeoplesperson.com)

UNITED played this cup tie against Brighton like a student approaches their first year at university: do the bare minimum to pass. The 2-0 scoreline was almost flattering. Nemanja Matic was our standout player. STAR MAN: NEMANJA MATIC

THE cup run was fun while it lasted, but no complaints at the exit. Once again we matched United in all areas but we got undone by two crosses of exceptional quality. It’s the next three games we must concentrate on now. STAR MAN: PASCAL GROSS
