United were dominated on their own turf.
Gross doubled Brighton’s lead nine minutes into the second-half, deceiving Martinez with a clever dummy to latch onto Tariq Lamptey’s pass to slot past Andre Onana. The Argentina international made an attempt to block the Brighton star but was easily turned and beaten inside his own box.
A number of United players were at fault for Brighton’s second, guilty of ball watching as the visitors sliced through their defence with ease. But club legend Schmeichel was left perplexed by Martinez’s efforts, questioning his positioning and decision-making. ‘It is kind of what happens at Manchester United at the minute, it is very individual,’ Schmeichel told Premier League Productions.‘Players, for instance, Martinez here, are trying to be a hero and get in and block. People know this. If we look at him there, he puts himself in a position directly in line of the goalkeeper.
‘He should be closing down rather of just stood up trying to block. If you want to block, don’t turn your body, stand tall. Clearly things aren’t right for Manchester United.’More:
