Reports suggest that there was a fallout among Manchester United players in the dressing room following their 3-1 defeat to Brighton. After the loss, tensions reportedly rose, and manager Erik ten Hag had to intervene to restore order within the squad.
According to The Sun, tempers flared between the United players after they were beaten by Brighton as Ten Hag ‘attempted to restore order’ among his squad. The report claims that United captain Bruno Fernandes ‘confronted’ Scott McTominay, who had been given his first start of the season. Additionally, Lisandro Martinez, who was deceived by Pascal Gross for Brighton’s second goal, was said to have had a heated exchange with his defensive partner Victor Lindelof.
Despite their challenging start to the Premier League season, Manchester United now shift their focus to the Champions League after a year-long absence from the competition. They face a tough fixture in Group A as they travel to Bayern Munich. Bayern’s high-profile summer signing, Harry Kane, believes that Ten Hag’s side will pose a formidable challenge despite their recent struggles in the league.
