Erik ten Hag admits he is aware of Man Utd's fragile confidence

Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag has admitted he recognised that his side were capable of falling to Brighton on the opening day of their Premier League season as he knows improvement 'will not come overnight'.

The Red Devils were thrashed 4-0 by the Seagulls in their penultimate fixture last season at the back end of Ralf Rangnick's tenure. But after a fairly strong pre-season, United went into the new campaign full of optimism.

However, that positive feeling quickly dissipated as Pascal Gross grabbed two first-half goals - helped out by some shoddy United defending - to send Albion into the half-time break two to the good. The hosts pulled one back after Brighton goalkeeper Robert Sanchez blocked Alexis Mac Allister's clearance, but that the visitors held on to win 2-1 and claim their first ever victory at Old Trafford.

United were second-best for long stretches on Sunday and captain Harry Maguire admitted that their heads dropped too easily after conceding the opener. Speaking after his first Premier League match, Ten Hag revealed that he wasn't completely shocked by such a mentality switch.

"It is a hell of a job . We have to work really hard, analyse and then move forward. Today was a good start and then after that we dropped down a level in belief and we made mistakes that the opponent punished. But it was a good opponent, we work well together but when you make mistakes you get punished for that," he said.

"I knew it could happen but I think we should have done better - that is clear.

"But I know also it will not come overnight. At times we played better in pre-season. Today we had a really bad period in the first half and we have to learn from that."

When asked if he could sense the squad's fragile confidence, Ten Hag replied: "I think so. That is also normal. I didn't expect that we are already a team that has had a lot .

"And I think that was the difference with our opponent: they have been a long time together with a certain plan and coach and we have not. But still it was unnecessary to lose this game." said Erik Ten Hag

Eden Hazard was one of the failed transfers yet and second-placed in the list of the biggest football transfers from the Premier League to La Liga.

Jude Bellingham Surpasses Wayne Rooney's England Milestone

Read the full details of Jude Bellingham's historic achievement of surpassing Wayne Rooney's record, which marks a new era for the Three Lions.

Jude Bellingham surpasses the England milestone of Wayne Rooney-sportzpoint.com

Real Madrid star Jude Bellingham broke Wayne Rooney's record for England in Friday's 2026 World Cup World Cup Qualifiers clash against Albania. Jude helped his side to win 2-0 at the famous Wembley Stadium to collect three points. 

Bellingham started in Thomas Tuchel's first starting XI as England's boss. It was the 41st appearance of the 21-year-old. The English midfielder overtook Wayne Rooney for the most senior appearance for the England national football team at 21 or younger. The former Manchester United legend made 40 appearances.

Jude Bellingham made his senior debut for the National side being a 17-year-old in November 2020 on his debut England triumphed with a 3-0 victory over Ireland in a friendly match. He has since made 41 appearances and scored 6 goals and provided 10 assists.

Jude Bellingham continued his good form against Albania on Friday as well. He got the ball in midfield and went past a couple of players before putting a cross for the debutant Myles Lewis-Skelly and the debutant scored the goal and put his side a 1-0 lead in the 20th minute.

Harry Kane scored the second goal in the 77th minute and helped the Three Lions clinch a 2-0 victory over Albania. England is now at the top of the group k of 2026 FIFA World Cup Qualifiers. The group also has Latvia, Serbia, and Andorra along with England and Albania.

While England beat Albania 2-0, Jude Bellingham spoke about things the Tuchel's managed side need to improve. Assessing his side's performance Jude said: (Via England Football)

I think we had clear ideas on what we wanted to do and how we wanted to play. We tried that as much as possible. I know it is difficult when you play against a team that sits so low and is so compact.

At times the game takes you a different direction. You want to go on the ball and move around but generally, we stuck to the plan really well. We had a really good week of training, and it was a good way to start the new era.

Vincent Kompany cemented his legend at Manchester City when he captained the club to their inaugural Premier League title in the 2011/2012 season.

The Belgian center-back was among the limited number of players who stayed at City following the takeover by Sheikh Mansour in 2008, having signed for the club prior to the takeover being completed. During his time at City, Kompany led the team to four Premier League titles, with his last championship win being in the 2018/2019 season.

His exceptional leadership and defensive abilities made him a true icon of the club. This is reflected in his impressive Premier League record, consisting of 265 appearances, 18 goals, 8 assists, and 94 clean sheets.

Steven Gerrard is practically synonymous with Liverpool. Despite not winning any Premier League title as a captain, the 'Captain Fantastic' Gerrard solidified the spirit of the club by leading by example through his remarkable talent, determination, and commendable attitude.

He famously inspired Liverpool to a comeback victory in the 2005 UEFA Champions League final with a heroic performance, cementing his place in Anfield folklore as one of the greatest captains in the history of the club.

Gerrard's record in the Premier League is impressive as well, with 504 games, 120 goals, and 92 assists, and this further cements his place as a Liverpool legend.

The latter season featured the famous Arsenal Invincibles, who completed the entire league campaign without losing a single match.

Roy Keane is widely regarded as the Premier League's all-time greatest captain. Joined with intense drive and masterful leadership, Keane led Manchester United to four Premier League titles and the legendary treble of 1999. His unstoppable courage, tireless work ethic, and leadership through example made him an all-time Manchester United icon.

Keane's Premier League career further reinforces his legacy. He played 366 games, scored 39 goals, and won 220 matches, suffering just 61 losses during his time. Keane's incredible story goes beyond the Premier League years, however, and shows how his legacy has lasted for a long time.

Keane's stay at the Old Trafford, however, came to a sudden end following a falling out with manager Sir Alex Ferguson in 2005.
