There is is still three weeks left in the transfer market and United's midfield is an issue that needs addressing. But United do not have the nous to cherrypick these kind of gems. Caicedo is exactly what United are missing in midfield. Scott McTominay and Fred were handed a rude awakening on their return to Premier League action and there was one sole individual responsible. Yet the biggest catastrophe of it all, was that United held extensive discussions over a deal for Caicedo that was worth as little as £4.5million. He was ruthlessly exposed by his South American counterpart.

United 1 Brighton 2 (Manchester United)

The Reds are undone on opening day by the Seagulls and two first-half Pascal Gross goals.

However, with just over 20 minutes to go, the lead was halved, as a Fernandes corner was eventually turned into his own net by Alexis Mac Allister, as M16 rose once more in an attempt to spur on Ten Hag's men. Cristiano Ronaldo was introduced shortly after, as Ten Hag looked to fashion a way for his side to get back into the game. Gross added both his and Brighton's second just 10 minutes later, as the Reds were left with much work to do heading into the second half. Although the flag went up, replays seemed to suggest Ronaldo was onside and it would have counted. Christian Eriksen then almost topped off a superb flowing counter-attack with Ten Hag's side beginning to edge the early stages. VAR provided a long check as Sanchez appealed for a foul, and there was a review as to whether the ball inadvertently struck Dalot's arm before the keeper cannoned the ball into his own goal off Mac Allister.

We were positive, we were brave in what we tried to do and the boys gave it everything. the game plan was really good and we stuck to it. "We're just enjoying the fact it's a historic win for us, so that's something to be happy about. "We had an idea of how to attack and when we could, we tried to press and put them under pressure. "We managed it [the end of the game] quite well. We stopped playing from then, they got a lot of control in the game so we need to look at that first goal not setting us back as much as it did. But that happens, we have to analyse and take the lessons from it. We had chances to equalise but it's a bad start for us. In the action in the second half, we were acting as one team, battling for a better result. I knew from the start that it wouldn't be easy, it's a process and takes time, but we don't have time. He has had one week of training so is a little bit more and he has to do more to get fit. We see it week in, week out."

GARY NEVILLE joked about Manchester United's poor start to the season following their 2-1 defeat to Brighton.

But, despite an own goal from Alexis Mac Allister, United never truly looked capable of pulling off a classic comeback with boos ringing out at Old Trafford at full time. However, the Red Devils came up against a determined and well-drilled Brighton side with Danny Welbeck causing issues for both Harry Maguire and Martinez throughout the match. But a drawn-out transfer pursuit of Frenkie de Jong has still not resulted in any agreement with only Lisandro Martinez, Tyrell Malacia and Christian Eriksen coming in as new signings.
