Eric Bailly a calamity as abject Manchester United suffer Brighton setback

Manchester United's 3-2 defeat at Brighton on Sunday does not even begin to do justice to the abject nature of their display.

This was arguably the worst of their Premier League performances under Jose Mourinho, and it is worrying to think what might have happened if they had produced this play against Liverpool or Manchester City. The repercussions from the manner of this loss may well be swift and far-reaching. Two games into the league season, United look woefully unprepared for the months ahead.

Positives

It is difficult to identify any significant positives from this game, save maybe the purpose that Jesse Lingard provided after his introduction and Luke Shaw's unfailing effort throughout.
