'Absolutely criminal!' - Man Utd fans left apoplectic & turn on Erik ten Hag as shocking defending sees Red Devils slip to last-ditch defeat at Brighton

United were beaten by Brighton in the Premier League on Saturday, as Joao Pedro scored a 95th-minute winner. Danny Welbeck had opened the scoring, with Amad Diallo equalising, but the Red Devils' backline left Pedro completely unmarked at the back post in the final stages, leaving fans fuming, while key man Bruno Fernandes had been substituted.

@AlternativeMUFC posted a screenshot of the build-up to the goal and, relating to Pedro, wrote: "Absolutely nobody within eight feet of him. Embarrassing."

@MarkGoldbridge wrote: "That's on the manager. Awful selections from start to finish."

@AidanWalshMUFC said: "Taking Bruno off against a high line when you want to win the game is absolutely criminal."

@Towett1 added: "New season, the same tactics and expecting different results? Ten Hag is the biggest problem now. Poor tactics and game play. Ten Hag must be sacked before it's too late."

@Waqy said: "What are they doing in training, man?"

Brighton's winner came after a remarkable passage of play at the other end that saw Joshua Zirkzee inadvertently deny Alejandro Garnacho. The striker slid to meet a Bruno Fernandes cross but missed, and accidentally made contact with the Argentine's goal-bound shot, which was subsequently ruled out for offside.

United will hope to bounce back ahead of a massive game against Liverpool next weekend.
