Seagulls are a curse

WHAT a way to see a 31-game unbeaten run at home come to an end. Not since Real Sociedad one year ago had United suffered defeat at Old Trafford but this was a mauling against a Brighton team that have had their number four times in a row.

‘Can we play you every week?’ Brighton fans sang midway through the second half. Successive-season wins at Old Trafford suggest they would do just fine if they did.
