Pascal Gross netted a brace within the first half and whereas an personal objective from Alexis Mac Allister after the break gave the house aspect hope, it was not sufficient and because of this the Ten Hag period begins with defeat and all of the optimism from pre-season has disappeared.
‘We went into the sport constructive; we had an excellent pre-season, and it was the worst potential begin to be 2-0 down at half-time at Previous Trafford,’ Maguire instructed Sky Sports activities post-match.
‘We acquired a objective again, however we huffed and puffed a bit and it’s a foul begin for us. We began fairly effectively and on the entrance foot and as a group we had management. Then we conceded the primary objective and that knocked us badly.

‘It’s one thing we have to handle, or it’ll maintain occurring. The primary objective felt like a giant blow to all 11 of our gamers.’
As anticipated, centre-back Maguire began alongside new signing Lisandro Martinez however the £46million man didn’t have the best of debuts with United’s backline struggling to take care of Brighton’s well-organised assault.
