Manchester United’s troubles extend beyond the field of play.
The Red Devils kicked off their 2022-23 season by welcoming Graham Potter’s Brighton and Hove Albion to Old Trafford earlier on Sunday.
However, despite the favourable opening fixture, which should have been a fairly straightforward tie for the 20-time league winners, new manager Erik ten Hag was reminded how big his task is after the Red Devils were convincingly beaten 2-1 by Potter’s Seagulls.

A first-half brace from Pascal Gross set the tone for the afternoon, and even though Diogo Dalot was influential in United pulling one back in the second 45-minutes, the game’s eventual 2-1 result meant the Seagulls took all three points from their visit to the north.
In light of United’s disastrous opening Premier League defeat, sections of fans were spotted inside Old Trafford stadium fighting one another (Daily Mail).
Although it is not known exactly what sparked the physical scenes, it is obvious that the atmosphere among everybody involved with the club is far from harmonious.
How the mighty have fallen. Once a club to be admired when Sir Alex was in charge and to see it now is laughable.
Thank god Liverpool or Man city have never been in the same position, oh wait they have! We’ll come good again, it just might take 20 years!!
This is rubbish I was at the game and stayed in the stadium 15 mins after final whistle and didn’t see any united fans fighting 1 and other fake news
So the photos don’t show it? 😂😂
Not exactly a fully fledged fight is it. Seen worse of a couple of 5 yesr olds in the aground.
There’s literally a picture of it right above your comment 🙈🤡
Would be fake news cos it’s mancs be all
Over it if it was liverpool fans tho lah full
Of shit mate the videos don’t lie but the fans certainly do so go figure YNWA
Paper talk. I used to stand in tbe Stretford end many years ago. Georgie Best era, I got home to.my hubby worried sick about the massive fight that was in the Stretford End. No fighting took place, even the coppers used to take their helmets off and get their programmes out.
This defiantly happened about 5 minutes from the end pal , I was in the Stretford upper amd see these 2 going at it
Haha maybe the photos are no man u fans wearing the utd Jersey
Your bollocks, there’s video all over the Internet of it lol
of course you didn’t. Manchester United fans are perfect and never do anything wrong. Hope you had a good trip back to London
I support manutd
So was i it was in the south stand so not fake news
Those behind the bloke facing away from the pitch are in a section which is closed off, you can see the barrier behind him. These are generally prawn sandwich eating, corporate areas with nicely padded seats.
It doesn’t look like they’re having a full on fight does it. I bet he’s been asked to sit down by one of the prawn sandwich brigade
I like that there not fighting even though theres a video out there too, man up man u are as good as a Sunday league team atmo
I think it was more a case of Essex reds having a pop at Hampshire reds 🙂
Sh*t club, sh*t fans, end of!.
And not a manc amongst them no doubt! 😂
I heard Rashford threw a punch but missed by a mile 😂
They need to move sir Alex away from any involvement in the decisions about running the club, they need a clean start.
AFTV Robbie should not go to United games
Looks like it’s just two fat blokes fighting over the last pie.
Think it he went to touch his megastore carrier bags…. Thats definitely cause for violent outburst
