Man United have a dismal recent record against Brighton, who have taken another step forward with Roberto De Zerbi.
Brighton & Hove Albion have defeated Manchester United 7-1 on aggregate across the last four meetings between the two sides.
Although Brighton are not still considered a 'big club' by any stretch, they punch above their weight and they deserve their place in the Europa League this season following an excellent campaign in which they finished sixth. Harry Maguire, Fred and Scott McTominay started the game, while Christian Eriksen played as a false nine with Jadon Sancho on the right wing, which is without mentioning Brighton's subsequent success in the league for context.
"In the end, we lost a little bit of control, our midfield was too open, then we conceded some free-kicks, some counter-attacks and a corner. I think in the first minute that we created a great chance, but we didn't score," said Ten Hag. “We had clear chances with Antony, Anthony Martial, Marcus Rashford, Casemiro. They all create opportunities and one has to be in. I don't have concerns. It's about keeping the focus and we shouldn’t lose the focus in the final and dying seconds of the game."
Along with wasting chances against Brighton at the Amex last term, Ten Hag said the 'midfield was too open' and that's an area the Dutchman is still trying to get right this season after the signing of Mason Mount from Chelsea.
