Manchester United suffered a dramatic defeat at Old Trafford as Brighton overturned a two-goal deficit to secure a 3-2 victory in the Carabao Cup. The result marked a significant setback for Michael Carrick’s side, who had taken an early 2-0 lead within the first 10 minutes. Despite their strong start, United’s inconsistency led to their exit from the competition. Carrick admitted responsibility for the loss, describing the team’s performance as “unacceptable.” The defeat followed a difficult spell for the club, including a derby loss and poor results in the Premier League. Brighton’s victory not only ended United’s cup campaign but also highlighted their growing form against top-tier teams. The match saw a tense atmosphere, with fans reportedly booing players as they were substituted. This loss adds to the pressure on Carrick, who remains in charge despite the team’s struggles.
