Manchester United set a humiliating record 0-4, losing five consecutive defeats away from home to reach the top four! Ronaldo was disappointed and left the team

In the 36th round of the Premier League, Manchester United visited Brighton, and the Red Devils passively swallowed four eggs in a row, and lost 0-4. The defeat declared that Manchester United was completely out of the top four leagues this season, and could only play in the Europa League next season at most. Not only that, but United currently have only 58 points, and there is still the last round of competition, and the number of points this season can only reach 61 points at most, setting a record for the lowest number of points in Premier League history. The original record was held by Moyes, but the 2013/14 season also had a full three points more than 61 points.

United's starting line-up has not changed since the previous round of defeat to Brentford, with De Gea keeping the goal, Dioggu Dalo, Lindlev, Varane and Tres forming a defensive line, Nemanja Matic and McTomine joining the back, and Erlanga, Mata and Bruno Fernandes with centre-forward Cristiano Ronaldo in charge.

Commenting on Maguire's decision to come back on the bench, Lonnick explained: "I don't think I have a reason to make any changes because all the players are healthy and can play. After a 3-0 clean sheet victory, there was no reason to change the starter, no reason to change. I know Harry (Maguire) would want to play, but there were some races that Harry had participated in before, and Raphael (Varane) or Victor (Lindlev) didn't. It was part of the game, we had a couple of good centre-backs and I decided to start the same."

Defender Fred will replace Nemanja Matic in the second half, with Lonnick saying: "I know how important Fred is, especially defensively against us, but also on attack. Nemanja (Nemanja Matic) played well and Scott (McTomine) played well, so I decided to put Fred on the bench and he was likely to play in the second half."

After the opening, Brighton launched a series of attacks, pressing high positions to put a lot of pressure on Manchester United. In the 15th minute, the home team scored first, the Red Devils had been interested in the back moises Kecedo outside the box to pull out a long-range shot, the ball flew straight through the defender's crotch in the bottom right corner of the goal, the ball angle was sharp and sticky, De Gea could not save, Brighton led Manchester United 1-0.

United's attack was not smooth, with no real shots formed in the first 20 minutes. In the 43rd minute, Varane's mistake almost sent a gift to Brighton, goalkeeper Robert Sanchez kicked off, Varane stopped the ball but sent it to The Welbeck feet, fortunately the latter picked up the empty goal to play high, Manchester United escaped the disaster, half-time 0-1 back to the dressing room.

After the start of the second half, Although United replaced Erlanga and Nemanja Matic with Cavani and Fred, they could not prevent another goal from being quickly conceded. In the 48th minute, Brighton's cross from the right swept past goal, Trousar stopped the ball on the left and knocked back in the triangle, and Mark Kucurella's left-footed blast into the near corner of the net, Brighton 2-0 Manchester United.

In the 56th minute, Mata's volley in front of the penalty area was caught by the goalkeeper, which was United's first shot on target. But soon Brighton went down again, the goalkeeper had a long pass to the left side of the field, Cucurella attracted Dalo and crossed, Trosar sent an assist inside the box, Gross swung past Varane, and faced De Gea to push the far corner to score, Brighton 3-0 Manchester United.

United's nightmare continued, in the 60th minute, Brighton straight, Welbeck successfully countered offside, De Gea attacked to block the angle, but Heibei took the opportunity to pick out, Dalo barb in front of the goal line to break the net, but unfortunately the ball hit Trosar and bounced into the net. VAR confirmed Trosar did not have handball and Brighton were far ahead of Manchester United 4-0.

Mata's precise cross from the left was met by Cavani who narrowly pulled a header back, but goalkeeper Sanchez saved the ball. United collapsed and Brighton midfielder McAllister faced an empty goal, but fortunately Dallow bounced the ball off the post in time to pop up. Lonnick replaced Mata with centre-back Maguire and switched to three centre-backs, hoping to avoid continuing to concede goals.

In the 72nd minute, Maguire received a corner kick from the right and kicked two consecutive shots, and finally Cavani shoveled into the net, but unfortunately he and Cristiano Ronaldo were in an offside position, and the goal was ruled invalid. In the final stages of the game, both teams had some good attacks, but neither scored again, and the match ended with Brighton winning 4-0 over Manchester United.

Brighton had won two of their first three games against Manchester United after promotion to the Premier League, but had suffered six consecutive defeats against the Red Devils in the last six previous games, and the Seagulls ended after this victory. Manchester United have won seven consecutive games against Brighton in all competitions, the longest winning streak between the Red Devils and the Premier League opponents.

It's a home bug vs. away bug game! Brighton's last 6 Premier League games have won 4, drawn 1 and lost 1, surpassing the previous 25 games (3 wins, 13 draws and 9 losses), but the team's last 5 wins have been won away from home, and it is difficult to win in the past 8 Premier League home games with 4 draws and 4 losses, setting a record for the second worst record at home in the history of the team, the last win was last year's Boxing Day 2-0 victory over Brentford. However, at the end of the season, Manchester United came to the door to "send warmth" to the Seagulls for their first home win in 2022!

United have lost five consecutive Premier League games, surpassing the previous 42 away losses and the worst figure since six consecutive away defeats from December 1980 to March 1981. In addition, United have faced the bottom 10 teams in the Premier League in their last five appearances, with only 2 draws and 3 losses, surpassing the worst record of 3 draws and 2 losses set by Manchester United in The period from September to December 2016.

United's defeat in this game is somewhat unexpected, but it is not difficult to understand, after all, the team from manager Ronnick to starters Mata, Matic and others, next season will not stay in their current positions. And this time it was away, and it also lost the fighting spirit of showing itself to the Old Trafford fans as it had in the previous round, so it finally collapsed in the case of unfavorable scenes and premature loss of goals.

In terms of player stats, Fernandez, the core of Manchester United, has previously had four Premier League games against Brighton, participated in 6 goals, scored 4 goals and assisted 2 times, but this game returned empty-handed for the first time.

Cristiano Ronaldo was equally dumb in this game, with 18 Premier League goals, tied with the last season with the Red Devils (18 goals in 33 games), but still unable to become the first Manchester United player to score more than 18 Goals in the Premier League in a single season after Van Persie (26 goals in 2012/13). He also has the final round of the game at Crystal Palace, which can impact this achievement.

During the game, witnessing the team's rout, C Ronaldo was disappointed, shook his head, sighed, put his knees on his knees, and finally smiled bitterly. The British media rumors that the new coach Tenhag wants to keep C Ronaldo, however, the lack of access to next season's Champions League, and the chaotic reality of the team, I am afraid that it will make the Portuguese superstar disheartened.

The champions of the Champions League are certainly not willing to condescend to play in the Europa League or even the European League, so this summer Ronaldo is still very likely to seek a transfer, especially if Bayern Munich, Paris Saint-Germain and other giants extend an olive branch, the possibility of leaving the team is higher.

United's final round will be two weeks away to Crystal Palace, the Red Devils are currently 6 points ahead of 7th-placed West Ham, but the opponents have 2 fewer games, if the Hammers win the remaining matches, the points will be the same as Manchester United, the two teams need to compete for goal difference to determine the ranking, the 7th place in the Premier League can only participate in the UEFA Cup. Currently, United have only 1 goal difference, while West Ham have seven.

Of course, given west ham's remaining champions, Manchester City, Manchester United's Europa League spot should be worry-free. Of course, this is not a comforting thing.
