With the vertigo of victory and with things more tense than ever in the atmosphere between rangnick and the ‘red devils’ players, the mancunianos came out colder than ever to beat the showy Brighton of Graham Potter. The communication failures up front, especially between Sancho and Cristiano Ronaldo, made Old Trafford fans desperate and could only celebrate the saves made by De Gea, once again one of the best on his team.
Maupay It was a headache, going down to receive between the center backs and the midfielders. Undetectable for everyone except De Gea, who starred in the stop of the night with a header from him. All this, while Pogba He analyzed everything, attentively, from the bench, still without deciding his future and the German coach of the ‘red devils’ was looking for solutions for the second half.

With a great goal worthy of his best memory, the Portuguese grabbed the ball in the three-quarter zone, outwitted two defenders and defined the short post, to the dismay of the Spanish international Robert Sanchez.
The insatiable Portuguese striker wanted more, when he saw how the ‘seagulls’ were left with ten after the expulsion of dunkwho knocked down an opponent who was standing before Sanchez. between him and Bruno Fernandes They were able to liquidate the clash that would remain alive until the end thanks to the work and grace of a Brighton that was not daunted. Even moder He sent a shot to the crossbar, while Pogbaalready on the pitch, tried to supply balls to some local forwards with wet gunpowder, except for the whiplash of Ronaldo.
