Former Liverpool forward, Peter Crouch, has identified Igor Thiago as the standout player who troubled Manchester United during their 3-1 Premier League loss to Brighton on Saturday.
Brighton claimed victory on home soil with goals from Thiago and Mathias Jensen.
Manchester United’s lone goal came from Benjamin Sesko, while Bruno Fernandes failed to convert a penalty.
Crouch noted that Ruben Amorim’s team struggled defensively against Brighton, with Thiago consistently creating problems for the Red Devils’ backline.
“Manchester United couldn’t cope defensively. The centre forward Thiago was causing so many problems,” every department,” Crouch said on TNT Sports (as quoted by BBC Sport).
“They got bullied at times, the centre-halves. United didn’t have enough going forward, it didn’t feel like they were creating much and a really bad day at the office again.”
Man United’s next Premier League tie is against Sunderland next weekend.
