"If you're wearing a United shirt you've got to be able to deal with that (the pressure). For the first 45 minutes Brighton dealt with it better than United.
"We had a season last year of game after game being pretty poor and today wasn't very different. Graham Potter's Brighton were here, there and everywhere and were non-stop in fairness to them."
"First half we weren't good enough and the second half we had to give it a go. The goal came from Christian Eriksen, the new signing, taking the onus upon himself. But after the goal we did not kick on as you expect United to."
