“LET Him Pack his things and Leave I don’t want to see him in my Club Again, He didn’t score an open Net and caused the Secon Goal”- Man United Erig Ten Hag has instructed FLOP player to leave the Club with immediate effect. He needs to LEAVEs what a Flop
Manchester United supporters have expressed significant frustration with one of their defenders following a devastating loss to Brighton & Hove Albion. In a dramatic finish to their Premier League match, the Red Devils conceded a decisive goal in the 95th minute. Brighton’s forward, Joao Pedro, took advantage of United’s defensive shortcomings, securing a last-minute victory that left the United fanbase in dismay.
This defeat was a stark contrast to the excitement at Old Trafford just a week prior. United had started their 2024/25 Premier League season with a narrow but morale-boosting win against Fulham. A late goal from new signing Joshua Zirkzee secured a 1-0 victory, sending fans into celebration. However, the optimism following this opening day success was quickly overshadowed by the disappointing performance against Brighton, casting a pall over the team’s promising start to the season.
In the aftermath of the loss, Manchester United’s fanbase erupted in anger, with many voicing their disappointment on social media. Much of the criticism was directed at Portuguese defender Diogo Dalot. Critics pointed out his apparent lapse in defensive positioning during the lead-up to Brighton’s winning goal, suggesting that his error played a key role in allowing Joao Pedro the space to score. Observers noted that Dalot seemed out of position, leaving Pedro unmarked and in a prime spot to capitalize on the opportunity.
Fans did not hesitate to express their dissatisfaction. One upset supporter took to X (formerly Twitter) to criticize Dalot, saying, “This is what happens when you keep overhyping average players like Dalot. Forgetting his position speaks volumes about his concentration levels. Not the first time it has happened and definitely not the last.” Another fan echoed this frustration, sarcastically remarking, “Dalot at the back post AGAIN… But I have an agenda, whatever man cba.” A third fan expressed concern over the lack of defensive awareness, noting, “I understand there’s 3 people left unmarked on the back post but Dalot lets the guy creep in 5 yards in the 18-yard box and doesn’t attempt to block anything.”
Dalot, who was a regular in the Manchester United lineup last season with 50 appearances and three goals, now finds himself under scrutiny for all the wrong reasons. Despite his role in helping the team achieve seven clean sheets in the league, this recent mistake has raised doubts about his reliability in critical moments. The current wave of criticism reflects broader concerns about United’s defensive weaknesses, which have been a recurring issue in recent seasons. Dalot’s error against Brighton has only intensified fears that United’s defense may struggle to secure crucial points when it matters most.
For Brighton, this victory was more than just three points; it was a statement of intent. Following their impressive 3-0 win over Everton in the opening match, this triumph over Manchester United marked their second consecutive win of the season. It also temporarily propelled them to the top of the Premier League standings, highlighting their strong start and signaling that they should not be underestimated.
Looking ahead, Manchester United faces a series of challenging fixtures that could define their early season trajectory. One of the most anticipated matches is their clash with arch-rivals Liverpool at Old Trafford. This game will be especially significant as it will see Liverpool’s new manager, Arne Slot, face United for the first time since his appointment in June. The encounter promises to be a stern test of United’s resolve, particularly as they look to rebound from their disappointing performance against Brighton.
The intense scrutiny of Dalot serves as a reminder of the high expectations placed on Manchester United players. In a club where every performance is closely examined and every mistake magnified, the pressure to deliver consistently is immense. As the season progresses, it will be crucial for Dalot and his teammates to show resilience and the ability to recover from setbacks. Whether they can rise to the occasion and regain the trust of their supporters remains to be seen, but one thing is certain: the road ahead will be challenging, and every match will test their character and determination.
