MBM: Brighton won their first home game of 2022 as abject Manchester United were humiliated. Scott Murray was watching.

The club was on its uppers back then, with so much on their mind that they didn’t get round to naming a player of the year. It pings off the base of the post and out for a corner. Trossard retrieves the ball on the left and cuts back for Cucurella, who roofs a rising thrash into the top left! Cucurella traps and rolls infield for Trossard, who strolls into United’s box and lays off for Gross, who takes a touch to round Varane on the left, then steers a shot across De Gea and into the bottom right. 62 min: There’s a long VAR check, but the ball hit Trossard in the midriff. Gross and Mac Allister pour through a huge gap in the United defence. The ball bounces back to Maguire, who sends a low shot across the face of goal. Maguire wins a header and sends the ball towards the bottom left. 81 min: Cucurella is allowed to dribble down the middle, unchallenged, for a good while. We’ve let our home fans down a lot this year, and to come to the end of the season and reward them with that, it was a nice moment. 88 min: Cucurella’s fancy flick down the left foxes McTominay, who then bundles over Caicedo in a mixture of frustration and embarrassment. In an ideal world, you want to get your points at home in front of your supporters, and it was nice to give them a game, a performance, and a memory.

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.

Brighton and Hove Albion recorded their biggest ever top-flight win on Saturday, hammering Manchester United 4-0 on England's south coast.

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.

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.

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.
