Manchester United did not look one iota different to their 2021/22 selves as they slumped to a 2-1 defeat to Brighton & Hove Albion on Sunday.
The very same problems that had festered away on Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and Ralf Rangnick’s watch were apparent once again in what marked a damning start to United’s Premier League season.
From the unstructured build-up play to the jumbled midfield shape, the Red Devils flapped and flailed in their attempts to stop the Seagulls from nabbing all three points at the ‘Theatre of Dreams’.
Now, to an extent, this shouldn’t come as a surprise, because Erik ten Hag isn’t a miracle worker and no United fan should have expected their team to have taken to the pitch looking like prime Barcelona.
