ANDRE ONANA was back to his worst as Manchester United fell to another Old Trafford defeat.
It appeared Ruben Amorim's side had turned a corner in recent weeks with a draw at Anfield and an FA Cup penalty shoot-out win at Arsenal.
But dreadful individual mistakes cost them yet again with Onana the chief culprit.
The keeper was at fault for two of Brighton's three goals - dropping a huge clanger as he palmed a simple cross straight to Georginio Rutter under no pressure whatsoever.
Minutes earlier he watched as Yankuba Minteh floated a cross over the six-yard box which he should have come to collect - his failure to do so meant Kaoru Mitoma had a simple tap in at the back post.
There were few positive notes for the Red Devils as Amad once again provided a spark.
Here is how SunSport's Ken Lawrence rated the United display.
ANDRE ONANA - 2
No chance with the Seagulls’ first goal. But allowed a cross to float over him for Mitoma to add the second before an awful howler to gift them their third.
MATTHIJS DE LIGT - 5
Certainly doesn’t look like he likes players running at him as Kaoru Mitoma constantly did. Looked unsure of himself all the way through.
HARRY MAGUIRE - 6
The one member of United three–man central defence who looked like he knew what he was doing. Beginning to believe in himself again.
CASINO SPECIAL - BEST CASINO BONUSES FROM £10 DEPOSITS
LENY YORO - 5
The £52M youngster is still settling into the Premier League to be fair to him. But he is certainly taking his time about it.
NOUSSAIR MAZRAOUI - 4
Has been one of the few consistent successes of Ruben Amorim’s tactical revolution. Yet he had a real shocker this time around.
MANUAL UGARTE - 5
Supposedly “tired” in the 3-1 win over Southampton, the midfielder looked brighter here. Yet he still doesn’t look that switched-on.
KOBBIE MAINOO - 4
Where is last season’s Kobbie? Looks nothing like the buzzing homegrown midfielder who burst onto the scene last season.
DIOGO DALOT - 5
Did his duties as a left wing-back to the best of his abilities. Another United player, however, who looked nothing like sharp enough.
AMAD DIALLO - 7
Thursday night’s 12-minute treble hero on a high again – unlike, again, so many team mates. Sometimes his footwork is just dazzling.
BRUNO FERNANDES - 6
He was ultra-cool from the spot but that goal didn’t do much to raise his performance level. Had one of those days where nothing really clicked.
JOSHUA ZIRKZEE - 5
“Won” the penalty after being brought down although Carlos Baleba’s challenge would have looked good in a wrestling ring. There’s a footballer in there somewhere…
SUBS
ALEJANDRO GARNACHO (for Mainoo 64) - 5
Struggled to make an impact in a team that was being taken apart.
TOBY COLLYER (for Ugarte 64) - 5
Plenty of youthful commitment but still too inexperienced to lift a side as poor as Amorim’s.
ANTONY (for Mazraoui 84) - 4
Talk about a last throw of the dice by Amorim???
RASMUS HOJLUND (for Zirkzee 84) - 4
Given a thankless task in the closing moments of another depressing display.

When u look at Onana.. u know that he can’t throw himself quickly, he looks fat & too heavy to jump.. Onana now become fatter & slower.. higher salary, more money & happier than before.. no problem for him.. keep playing & always in first XI ✌️✌️
It's the same person who was responsible for United not losing to Southampton. Also Onana saved many goals against Brighton too. The problem is with lack of cohesion between players. they are still confused with their positioning and movements. They don't place themselves where Amorim want them to be

When man utd lose its Onana , wonders what did there do as a team , you guys expect inform Brigthon not to score. Lazy players, stop blaming Onana when the team play well he catches well so I don’t think it’s his faul

the bess goalkeepers do not only depend on hands but also on legs if it was Degea back then that ball needed a leg clearance more than hands , it's not about muscles, wisdom is much important

this was the only chance he tried using hands since he is not used to it, it slipped. you have a goal keeper in reserves who won the game and not using him it's ridiculous. not able to understand amorim.now that he will bring his own players. tenhag is to be blamed for his buying of players. may take another 5 years to eradicate as the current players contracts has to expire to form new team.

🚨- Brighton 3-1 Manchester United: What Just Happened? 😡 The momentum from Southampton? Completely gone. This was a mess. Brighton tore us apart tactically, and we were left exposed in too many areas. I’m not even doing a full analysis because two things are screaming at me: 1️⃣ Onana, seriously, what are you doing?! 2️⃣ INEOS, what the actual f*ck are you doing?! How long are we going to wait for real reinforcements? Disappointed doesn’t even cover it. ▪️• Onana’s Nightmare: What Was That? 😤 Let’s talk about André Onana today, and let me be blunt: IT WAS A DISASTER. 🚨 ➡️ 2nd Goal: What was that? A soft cross, and you choke on the line? Absolutely no authority in the box. ➡️ 3rd Goal: Let’s not even go there because it’s abysmal. Zero positioning, zero command, zero excuses. ➡️ Distribution: Don’t even get me started. Out of 14 long balls, only 3 were successful. His supposed strength is turning into a liability. Onana needs to step up and concentrate—or he’ll be a goner soon. This level is unacceptable for Manchester United. D-I-S-A-P-P-O-I-N-T-E-D. ▪️• INEOS: What’s the Plan Here? What’s the point of bringing in a manager like Ruben Amorim, whose system relies on wingbacks, when we literally have ZERO capable wingbacks? It’s January 19, and we’re still waiting for reinforcements. ➡️ LWB/RWB Needed Yesterday: Mazraoui, a natural RB, was exposed twice by Mitoma, and both ended in goals. Dalot multiple times on good positions runs into players bodies. We need proper wingbacks—players who can defend, hold the width, and attack with pace and quality. ➡️ Midfield Crisis: Ugarte is a beast, but he’s being overrun in midfield because there’s no support. We need legs, energy, and creativity in that midfield box. Where’s the plan to give him a proper partner? ➡️ Transfer Window Inertia: 19 days into the window, and no reinforcements? What is this? Amorim has been left to struggle with a squad that’s not suited for his system, and that’s on INEOS and the board. This is the fallout of months of terrible planning by INEOS — Ten Hag, Ashworth, and now Amorim thrown into the most congested period of the year with no tools to succeed. Wake up and bring this manager some help NOW. Not next week, not at the end of the window. Tomorrow. This is beyond pathetic—it’s abysmal. Act, Do better. 🔴#MUFC

The whole team of Manchester United needs to be scrapped even the ownership should change, this team has even worse than ever since the Glazers failed to make full sale and instead gave shares to Sir Jim Raticliffe who can't fix anything other than demolishing, since Raticliffe's arrival, there's no more peace at the club , the team was not performing well but now it's the worst in the history of football . but why Glazers should consider full sale of the club for better and let Raticliffe out because he has no future with Manchester, let him own teams in France league one and two but not English premier League clubs .

onana should be bench. Amorim should learn more on selection and positioning. He should give the younger players chance

I think the coach formation is the issue here; playing three defensive players in that kind of match. He's breeding fear in the players. Dalot had two chances to run, but because there were no wingers, he couldn't capitalize on it

what a mess onana
Sir Alex left a very old team for Moyes, and cannot escape blame. Van Persie goals masked the problems in his last season.
