United suffered another setback on Wednesday evening, surrendering a two-goal lead before losing 3-2 to Brighton at Old Trafford. The defeat ended their English League Cup campaign.

The club are also struggling in the Premier League, where they sit 13th after four matches.

However, Manchester United believe the responsibility for improving results lies with the players. The club’s view is that the squad must make progress both individually and collectively.
