Manchester United suffered a new setback after falling 2-1 at home to Brighton and being eliminated in the third round of the FA Cup (English Cup), held at Old Trafford stadium. According to what the Argentine News Agency could find out, the goal for the 'Red Devils' was scored by striker Benjamin Šeško at 40 minutes of the second half to reduce the score, while the goals for the visitors were scored by Brajan Gruda at 12' of the first half and Danny Welbeck at 19' of the second half. Additionally, Shea Lacey, who came on in the second half, was sent off at 44 minutes and left the team of Argentine Lisandro Martínez, who was a starter in the duel, with ten players for the final stretch of the match. With this result, the Manchester team, after the dismissal of Ruben Amorim due to poor results and with Darren Fletcher in charge, suffered another defeat and said goodbye to the English competition. Meanwhile, in the Premier League it is in seventh place with 32 points. After a great collective play and an important save by goalkeeper Senne Lammens, the German Gruda captured a rebound and with a powerful shot opened the scoring for the team led by his compatriot Fabian Hürzeler. Far from settling for 1-0, Brighton continued to insist on breaking the Manchester United defense, but did not succeed until the second half when attacker Welbeck received a pass from Gruda himself and with a left-footed shot placed the ball in the upper right corner of the Belgian goalkeeper's goal. With little time left in the match, the 'Red Devils' reacted and managed to pull one back late on, although it was not enough. Benjamin Šeško leaped high to head in a cross from the left by Bruno Fernandes and seal the 2-1 result.
