United suffer another heavy defeat, eliminated by Brighton in the FA Cup

Manchester United have been eliminated from the FA Cup, suffering another heavy disappointment at Old Trafford.

Brighton's team, led by Hurzeler, triumphed 2-1 and secured qualification to the next round of the competition.

Brajan Gruda opened the scoring, while Danny Welbeck, a former Manchester United player, sealed Brighton's advantage, sinking the home team in front of their own fans.

The goal scored by Sesko in the final minutes only served to narrow the gap, but it was not enough to avoid elimination.

The situation became even more complicated for United, as the team lost its composure and was left with one less player.

Lacey, introduced in the 62nd minute in place of Mason Mount, was sent off after picking up two yellow cards in the space of a few minutes.
