A great Maguire header from a United corner to force a massive save by Sanchez.
The free kick is given, but it's a good way out. A deep free kick is played into Danny Welbeck on the left side of United's box. But no-one is there on the end of it. "I was aware that within four days we had some strikers missing and it might make sense, we were still in three competitions - Champions League, FA Cup and fourth in the league. More possession and more chances, and they just look confident on the ball, trying all sorts of ways through. Cucurella surges through from the left, gets ahead of Elanga and tries to fire another cross in, but it's cleared. I think in possession that was probably one of our best games. Mac Allister plays Trossard in on left, deep, near to the goal line. Welbeck chips the ball in from the right side of United's box after wandering through completely unobstructed. Trossard takes his time, picks out Dunk, who connects, but United scrap to clear their lines. It comes back to Harry and he strikes it towards goal. It's on target, and powerful, but it's straight at Sanchez. Pretty routine stuff.

3 mins from kickoff: The teams are lined up in the tunnel now, and they'll be out on the pitch soon. It comes to nothing, but the home side look to be seeing out the half in the ascendancy. 3rd min: It is that back three shape for Brighton, with Cucurella on the left of the three, and Trossard wide on the left. He opts to cut the ball back to the edge of the area, where Jaun Mata's shot is blocked by Caicedo for a corner. He has far too much time in the United area, and he picks out Cucurella making a supporting run. This is a massive capitulation from United. This time Welbeck gets through on the right, again far too easily. United had little in attack, Cristiano Ronaldo firing way off target whenever he found space to receive the ball. The second half continued in that fashion, with Brighton getting the ball into advanced areas but failing to double their advantage. United showed signs of life, at times — Cavani tested Robert Sanchez with an acrobatic effort, and Bruno Fernandes fired a few shots from range throughout the second half — but at no point did it feel like Ralf Rangnick's side were able to match their hosts. Although David de Gea wasn't tested too much in the opening stages, the hosts were getting the ball forward with regularity. Saturday's 4-0 victory was Brighton's biggest in top-flight football and the scoreline did not flatter them at all. Manchester United continue to limp towards the end of a season that is now set to be their worst in the Premier League eras.
Brighton and Hove Albion recorded their biggest ever top-flight win on Saturday, hammering Manchester United 4-0 on England's south coast.

Player ratings: No one had a good day for Manchester United as the Premier League giants' season hit a new low against Brighton & Hove Albion.
They were bullied, predictable with their decision making, anxious at every turn and just didn't have any kind of direction aside from playing it back to one of their only capable first-teamers. They were defending much more resiliently to avoid further decline and on the odd chance they made something happen in the final third, it was always through some nice, quick passing in and around the box. MF Fred, 3 -- In one of the worst cameos of the season thus far, Fred couldn't keep the ball at his feet and was woeful with his positional play. The Red Devils looked slow from the word go and were made to pay for their poor play as Moises Caicedo put Brighton 1-0 up within 15 minutes. MF Anthony Elanga, 4 -- The youngster had to drop incredibly deep just to get any sniff of the ball, and after failing to deal with the physicality of the opposition, he was subbed off. This was as close to a disaster-class as an 'elite' club can get.
Brighton utterly embarassed Manchester United and smashed them 4-0 to end the Red Devils' faint hopes of finishing in the top four.
It has clicked, and then some, in the last few weeks as they’ve now hammered Wolves and Manchester United in successive games. United have to get back to buying the best young talents and Erik ten Hag will demand that this summer. What a signing the left back has been. Now. That is the only way they will have any chance of getting out of this almighty rut. They have conceded more goals this season than any other campaign in the PL. The list of unwanted records goes on and on. Many of these players know they won’t be around next season and they’re all over the place.

How the Man Utd players rated as they sank to a dreadful 4-0 defeat to Brighton.
Was often a one-man midfield due to McTominay's struggles but did his utmost to calm proceedings. He has been starting by default for a while and should not start again. Slow in getting down to Moises Caicedo's shot and his afternoon got worse thereafter.
