UNITED RATED

DEAN HENDERSON

New status and new nerves. Made some good stops but flapped at corners and Brighton seemed to target him.

WAN-BISSAKA

Brighton scored against United again by delivering towards the far post, where Welbeck caught Wan-Bissaka napping.

VICTOR LINDELOF

Lindelof was unaware of Welbeck when he met the cross to eventually score. Exposed for penalty shout.

HARRY MAGUIRE

Tried to rouse team-mates and key block at 1-0 before halftime. Maybe fortunate to get away with Welbeck challenge.

LUKE SHAW

So poor in the first-half his manager was on his case. More of a threat after the break and played key role in winning goal.

FRED

Endeavoured but rarely excelled in the first-half. Improved in the second and reflects well on his character.

PAUL POGBA

Struggled to get going on his first Premier League start in nearly two months. Unwittingly assisted Mason Greenwood.

MASON GREENWOOD

His right-footed shot smacked the post but Greenwood persisted and his manager will have loved his winner.

BRUNO FERNANDES

Has looked out of sorts for a while and first-half against Brighton might have been the nadir. Still tallied his 14th assist.

MARCUS RASHFORD

If there was sufficient competition then Rashford would be droppable. Eventually turned up with the equaliser.

CAVANI

Looked like someone who had started in one of last 10 games and does not particularly look like he is keen to stay.

SUBSTITUTES

Daniel James (Rashford 72) Tired Brighton with his running: 6

Donny van de Beek (Cavani 82) Had little time to do much: 5

Scott McTominay (Pogba 84) Came on to protect lead: 5

SUBS NOT USED: De Gea, Grant, Diallo, Matic, Williams, Tuanzebe
