While the Champions League is in full swing, a make-up match in the 18th round of the Premier League is also in progress, with Manchester United sitting at home to challenge the Seagull Brighton, who have never been able to lose at home, although they have not been able to perform well this season after a large number of reinforcements; Rival Brighton also want to break this spell and take a victory from Old Trafford, and the Premier League dark horse wants to step into the European arena that has never been able to touch, full of ambition.
After suffering two consecutive draws in the Premier League, Lonnick still lined up a 4-2-3-1 lineup, the combination of Maguire + Lindelof in the backfield is really worrying, the combination of the double midfielder Scott McTominay and Fred is not bad, the frontcourt is the young players Elanga, B Fee and Sancho, and the top is the veteran C Ronaldo.
Brighton's side has a menacing look, after the main centre-back Dan Byrne was sold to Newcastle, the team's backline was played by The Humble St. Dunk, on both sides were Kukurelia and Feltman, the front coach Porter made no small changes, the No. 10 player McAllister was placed in the back position of the field, two strikers Trussard and Mo Pai suddenly forward.
Race conditions
Let's come to the middle of the game, the opening Manchester United backline came to a fatal mistake, but De Gea made a save to save the goal! But then Brighton side is also the same laugh, the return pass error caused C Ronaldo to break the ball into the opponent's penalty area, this time C Ronaldo selflessly chose to send an assist, but Sancho did not appreciate the face of the direct return of the ball to the opponent goalkeeper Robert Sanchez, missed a great opportunity.
Brighton this dark horse is still very strong, double you come and go is not hilarious, in the 38th minute Manchester United side of the back line again made a mistake, Maguire a big tall did not stare at the opponent player Modell's header to attack the goal, fortunately De Gea's eternal god saved the ball again. Before half-time, Manchester United was suppressed by Manchester City Brighton Jr., and manager Ronnick was also slightly lonely on the sidelines.
Half-time back to manchester United side is obviously some changes, the player's positive counterattack has been effective, the 51st minute McTominay's steal was then directly given to C Ronaldo, facing the 5-man defense C Ronaldo reproduced the style of his youth, after a single ride through the opponent's door, the score became 1-0, C Ronaldo broke the 6 consecutive goal drought!
Brighton wanted to fight back but the game took a turn, in the 54th minute defender Dunk faced Manchester United youngster Erlanga's breakthrough choice to directly put it down, the referee after VAR's reminder decided to give a red card! Brighton's fighting spirit was immediately different, and they could only stand on the defensive when they were mainly attacking.
In the 72nd minute, Ronaldo made another selfless assist, he once again completed the broken ball with the shooter's keen sense of smell, but unfortunately the ball that crossed to B Fei was saved in the face of the goalkeeper, but fortunately, in the last moment, his opportunity to make up for it came, and the substitute Pogba quickly served a free kick to find B Fee, who finally entered the net this time, and Manchester United won the match 2-0.

The MVP of this game undoubtedly gave the player who opened the record for the team C Ronaldo, with the honor of beating B Fee with 41% of the support of the fans, the data of his appearance in 90 minutes, 2 goals and 2 chances to create 3 chances is very eye-catching, and he has also broken a number of historical records again: the 37-year-old player who scored for Manchester United, scored for 21 consecutive years, scored 93 goals, the 5th scorer in Manchester United history.....
