Story summary
On Wednesday night, Manchester United suffered a shocking 3-2 defeat against Brighton in the third round of the Carabao Cup at Old Trafford. The Red Devils had led early on through goals from Shea Lacey and Mason Mount within just ten minutes, but Brighton rallied back with three unanswered goals to advance to the last sixteen. This loss comes after a controversial 1-0 defeat by Manchester City over the weekend, leaving United sitting in 13th place in the Premier League after four matches. Manager Michael Carrick faced harsh criticism and boos from fans following the match due to their poor start to the season. Carrick acknowledged that the team's performance was "unacceptable" but took full responsibility for it. The defeat marks another ignominious exit for United, reminiscent of last year’s embarrassing loss to Grimsby Town in a shootout.
