Manchester United suffered a stinging 3-1 loss to Brighton on Sunday, with a late blunder from goalkeeper André Onana paving the way for the Seagulls’ third goal. The Cameroonian shot-stopper failed to handle a low cross from Yasin Ayari, spilling the ball directly into the path of Georgino Rutter, who calmly slotted home to clinch the result.
The error capped a frustrating afternoon for United, as teammates Diogo Dalot and Matthijs de Ligt collapsed to the turf in dismay. Onana himself appeared distraught, briefly burying his face in the ground after the mistake.
Manager Ruben Amorim spoke on the goalkeeper’s performance, linking his ups and downs to the broader challenges facing the squad. “It’s like the team—sometimes we’re really high, sometimes we’re really low,” Amorim said. “We need to maintain focus for the entire match to turn things around. That’s the only way.”
The defeat compounds United’s recent struggles in the Premier League, leaving Amorim urging his players to stay mentally strong and consistent as they seek a turnaround in form.
