Manchester United Shockingly Eliminated by Brighton in EFL Cup
On September 16, Manchester United experienced a surprising exit from the EFL Cup third round, losing 3-2 to Brighton at Old Trafford. United took an early lead with Shea Lacey scoring on his first senior start just eight minutes into the match, followed by Mason Mount doubling the advantage shortly after.
However, Brighton, managed by Fabian Hürzeler, fought back, with Charalampos Kostoulas scoring in first-half stoppage time to make it 2-1. The second half saw Brighton equalize through Pascal Groß in the 65th minute, and Maxim De Cuyper completed the comeback just four minutes later, putting Brighton ahead 3-2.
This defeat compounded the difficulties for United, who had recently lost to Manchester City, increasing the scrutiny on manager Michael Carrick and his squad.
