Carrick’s Woes Continue as Man United Stunned by Brighton in League Cup
- On Wednesday, Manchester United lost 3-2 to Brighton & Hove Albion at Old Trafford in the League Cup third round after squandering a two-goal lead, the first such collapse at home since 1976.
- The last time United lost at home after leading by two goals was in September 1976 when Tottenham Hotspur won by the same 3-2 scoreline, marking the end of a historic drought.
- Teenager Shea Lacey put United ahead in the eighth minute and Mason Mount made it 2-0 two minutes later, but Brighton mounted a comeback through Charalampos Kostoulas, Pascal Gross in the 65th, and Maxim De Cuyper's 69th-minute winner.
- Manager Michael Carrick told Sky Sports, "The performance towards the end of the second half, that's on me," as the defeat marked United's third successive domestic cup loss.
- With one win from four league matches and sitting 13th, United face mounting pressure after last weekend's controversial 1-0 loss to Manchester City in the Premier League.
