Christian Eriksen makes brutal admission about Manchester United's results this season

manchestereveningnews.co.uk:

Christian Eriksen has stated losing three Premier League games already isn't good enough for Manchester United. Erik ten Hag wanted his side to respond after defeat against Arsenal at the Emirates, but the return to action following the international break didn't go to plan and Brighton extended their excellent recent record against United Although United were the better side over the opening 15 minutes, the chances from that spell were squandered and familiar face Danny Welbeck fired Brighton into a 1-0 lead and the away side dominated the ball from there.

Despite Brighton keeping possession well, Rasmus Hojlund thought he'd equalised just before half-time, only for VAR to review the move and disallow the effort because Marcus Rashford had drifted out of play in the build-up.

Hannibal Mejbri, who came on from the bench, quickly responded at the other end but it was a consolation goal. Eriksen spoke to BBC Sport after the game and said: "It is a heavy one.

We have to look at ourselves. We changed some things but we are disappointed. In the first half we had a lot of moments had good control. "They had a lot of possession but not many chances.
