Cristiano Ronaldo ended his goal drought as Manchester United claimed a 2-0 victory over ten-man Brighton and Hove Albion at Old Trafford on Tuesday evening. SLInt MORE:
Ralf Rangnick made three changes to United from the draw with Southampton three days ago, with Fred and Anthony Elanga replacing Paul Pogba and Marcus Rashford in the starting XI, while Raphael Varane dropped out due to illness as Victor Lindelof stepped in.
The Seagulls were packing the midfield and doing well to prevent United from playing out from the back, while they were also looking the more threatening side going forward. Rangnick's side started the second half with greater urgency and intensity and took the lead in the 51st minute through none other than Ronaldo. Bissouma was dispossessed by Scott McTominay, who laid it off to Ronaldo on the edge of the box and the Portuguese superstar dribbled past his marker and fired a powerful effort into the bottom right corner.
United almost put the game to bed in the 71st minute. Sanchez gave the ball away straight to Ronaldo, who teed up Bruno Fernandes and his shot was straight at Fernandes with the rebound falling to Ronaldo but he was unable to find his countryman once again as the chance went begging.
