Andre Onana’s howler seals United’s home loss as struggling Spurs endure another loss at Everton in football’s Premier League.Manchester United’s season has lurched further into turmoil after a 3-1 home loss to Brighton in the Premier League.
United endured a miserable defeat following goals from Yankuba Minteh, Kaoru Mitoma and Georginio Rutter at Old Trafford on Sunday that consigned United to a 10th defeat in the league.
Bruno Fernandes scored for United from the penalty spot, but the hosts were not helped by a howler from goalkeeper Andre Onana, who spilled a routine gather from a low cross into the box, allowing Rutter to tap home the loose ball.
It was the seventh defeat in 15 games overall under new head coach Ruben Amorim and highlighted the massive job the Portuguese manager has on his hands to revive the record 20-time English champions.

Brighton climbed to ninth place with 34 points, four points off the top four. United are 13th on 26, also from 22 games.
Brighton have won in six of their last seven league games with United and on their last three visits to Old Trafford.
The teams were led out by bagpipes in memory of club great Denis Law, who passed away this week, with a wreath laid at the centre circle by former manager Alex Ferguson.
