CRISIS? WHAT CRISIS?

United falling apart but Ten Hag says...

- STEVE BATES

MAN UNITED........1 BRIGHTON..........3

ERIK TEN HAG refused to admit Manchester United are in crisis after suffering a third defeat in four Premier League games as Brighton strolled to a 3-1 win.

And he claimed loud boos from all corners of the stadium when he substituted Rasmus Hojlund to bring on Anthony Martial was a boost for the £72million Danish new boy - and not a downer against the French striker.

United found themselves a goal down at half-time after old boy Danny Welbeck struck before Pascal Gross and Joao Pedro made it 3-0, with a spectacular strike from young Old Trafford star Hannibal a late consolation for Ten Hag and his men. "Crisis is not a fair word about where we are," the United boss said.

"This was not our day. But we have to be very disappointed and very annoyed with ourselves because at United the demand is you win games.
