FIFA has just announced VERY SAD NEWS for the Officials and Referees of the match between Manchester United vs Brighton and this have cost them thier Job after not awarding a clear goal calling it Offside
Manchester United supporters have voiced their displeasure with one of their players following a late defeat to Brighton & Hove Albion. In the 95th minute of their Premier League encounter, United conceded a crucial goal to Brighton’s Joao Pedro, sealing a 1-0 loss for the Red Devils.
This defeat came just a week after United narrowly won their opening game of the 2024/25 Premier League season against Fulham. In that match, a last-minute goal by new recruit Joshua Zirkzee secured a 1-0 victory. However, the euphoria from that win was quickly overshadowed by the disappointing performance against Brighton.
Post-match, United fans took to social media to express their discontent, particularly targeting Portuguese defender Diogo Dalot. Many believe Dalot’s positional error during the build-up to Brighton’s winning goal was a key factor in the defeat. Fans noted that Dalot was out of position, allowing Joao Pedro to score unchallenged.
One fan on X (formerly Twitter) criticized Dalot, saying, “This is what happens when you overrate average players like Dalot. His positional lapse shows a lack of concentration. This isn’t the first time, and it likely won’t be the last.” Another fan added, “Dalot at the back post again… whatever, I can’t be bothered.” A third fan pointed out the defensive lapse, stating, “There were three players unmarked at the back post, and Dalot allowed the attacker to get within five yards in the 18-yard box without any attempt to block.”
Diogo Dalot, who made 50 appearances for Manchester United last season, scoring three goals and contributing to seven clean sheets in the Premier League, is now facing intense scrutiny.
The criticism comes as United’s defensive issues continue to be a concern, and Dalot’s mistake against Brighton has only intensified worries about the team’s ability to secure vital points.
Brighton, on the other hand, celebrated their second consecutive win of the season, following a 3-0 victory over Everton in their opening match. This win temporarily positioned Brighton at the top of the Premier League standings, reflecting their strong start.
Looking forward, Manchester United faces a tough schedule, including an anticipated clash against Liverpool at Old Trafford. This match will see Liverpool’s new manager, Arne Slot, take on United for the first time since his appointment in June.
Meanwhile, Brighton will focus on their midweek EFL Cup second-round match against Crawley Town before preparing for their upcoming fixture against Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium.
The criticism of Dalot highlights the high expectations placed on Manchester United players, especially during critical moments when results are crucial. As the season progresses, it remains to be seen how Dalot and the United squad will respond to this early setback.
