Erik ten Hag’s squad suffered their third defeat of the 2017 Premier League season at the hands of Roberto De Zerbi’s men at Old Trafford.
United now have just six points from their first five games, trailing Premier League winners and current leaders Manchester City by nine points.
Ten Hag ‘attempted to restore order’ among his squad after United were defeated by Brighton, according to The Sun.
According to the article, United captain Bruno Fernandes ‘confronted’ Scott McTominay, who was given his first start of the season.
Lisandro Martinez, who was sold a fool by Pascal Gross for Brighton’s well-worked second goal, was reportedly said to have ‘lost it’ in the dressing room with his center-back partner Victor Lindelof.
Following a year-long hiatus from the Champions League, United will finally return to the competition.
Ten Hag’s team kicks off their campaign on Wednesday with a trip to Bayern Munich, their toughest Group A opponent.
Despite United’s shaky start to the new Premier League season, Bayern Munich’s £100 million summer signing Harry Kane believes Ten Hag’s team will be difficult to beat.
‘First and foremost, it’s going to be a tough game,’ Kane said CBS.
‘They’re going through a rough phase right now, but they’re sometimes the most dangerous team to play against.
‘They’re always aiming to battle back and get a big result, so all we can think about is playing against a really good squad.’
