Manchester United's visit to Brighton in May featured was an abject performance in a month of poor showings. A sold-out away end travelled for the most distant away game of the season. Brighton is seven miles further from Manchester than Bournemouth -- on a Friday night and saw a limp 1-0 defeat. Things have to be better on Sunday when the two teams meet again.
It was after Brighton away last season that Jose Mourinho ripped into his players and staff, correctly telling them that what he was seeing neither good enough nor acceptable. The manager told them that, from that point on, he had no interest in being their friend and that, if any of them were not happy, they could leave.
