Ex-Man United goalkeeper Peter Schmeichel blasts Lisandro Martinez for 'trying to be a hero' during his side's 3-1 defeat by Brighton

Peter Schmeichel has slammed Lisandro Martinez's defending during Manchester United's 3-1 defeat by Brighton at Old Trafford on Sunday, claiming the Argentine was 'trying to be a hero'.

It was a disappointing second consecutive loss for Erik ten Hag's side after a turbulent start to the season that has seen the Red Devils concede three defeats in their opening five matches.

The club has now fallen to 13th in the Premier League standings, after former striker Danny Welbeck put Roberto De Zerbi's side a goal up after 20 minutes, with Pascal Gross and Joao Pedro also scoring to secure their fourth win of the season.
