UNITED RATED BY SAMUEL LUCKHURST

DAVID DE GEA

Slow in getting down to Moises Caicedo’s shot and his afternoon got worse. Let down by a hopeless defence.

DIOGO DALOT

Performed inoffensively in the first half but was the opposite in the second, culpable for goals two and three.

VICTOR LINDELOF

Hesitated in the move for the first goal and a defender who struggles against pace and power was outpaced.

RAPHAEL VARANE

Let off by Danny Welbeck in the first half but Brighton were merciless in the second. Lack of resistance was shameful.

ALEX TELLES

He has been starting by default for a while and should not start again. Dreadful from start to finish and repeatedly targeted.

SCOTT MCTOMINAY

Mystifying he emerged for the second half. Bossed by Yves Bissouma and Moises Caicedo and confirmed it with fouling.

NEMANJA MATIC

Was often a one-man midfield due to McTominay’s struggles but did his utmost to calm proceedings.

ANTHONY ELANGA

Overwhelmed by Brighton’s intensity and struggled to do anything right. Substituted at half-time.

JUAN MATA

At an away ground and an against an intense team, he showed why he is a specialist in certain situations.

BRUNO FERNANDES

By the time he tested Robert Sanchez, the game was over and United were a lost cause. Ineffective performance.

CRISTIANO RONALDO

Ropey from the off with his passing and his shooting was wayward. Harshly booked but never looked a threat.

SUBSTITUTES

FRED: (for Elanga 45) Brought some energy and at least cared. 5

EDINSON CAVANI: (for Matic 45) Had a goal disallowed for offside. 5

HARRY MAGUIRE: (for Mata 70) Came close to scoring. 6
