Summary
Manchester United suffered a stunning Carabao Cup exit at Old Trafford, collapsing from a two-goal lead against Brighton — a rare collapse that hasn’t happened there since Sir Alex Ferguson’s St. Mirren days in 1976. Fans erupted in fury, some walking out before the final whistle, while those who stayed booed and demanded answers. Amid the chaos, young debutant Shea Lacey made history as the youngest scorer for United since Rashford in 2016 — but his moment was overshadowed by the crushing defeat. Manager Michael Carrick emphasized player welfare, even suggesting a 15-year-old’s debut might’ve been scrapped due to the pressure. With another crucial match looming before the international break, United desperately need a win to turn things around — and experts are questioning whether the squad’s depth can carry them, no matter how good the management.
