Man Utd lost 0-4 even though Ronaldo played the whole match
BrotherMan Utd lost to host Brighton 0-4 in round 36 of the English Premier League on the evening of May 7, and ended the door to the Champions League 2022-2023.
Cristiano Ronaldo finished four matches to score, and Man Utd lost miserably in the penultimate game of the season. Moises Caicedo, Marc Cucurella, Pascal Gross and Leandro Trossard each scored to sink the visitors. This is Brighton’s first win at home in 2022.
Coach Ralf Rangnick did not change any position after the 0-3 victory over Brentford, but Man Utd lost to Brighton with a stronger score than that. In the 15th minute, the host opened fire after Alex Telles broke the ball badly. Midfielder Caicedo quickly shot from afar and sank, making De Gea unable to catch the ball.

Rangnick put Fred and Cavani on the field after the break, but the visitors conceded three goals in just 15 minutes of the second half. In the 49th minute, Telles again missed the throw-in, letting the Brighton player receive the ball in the Man Utd penalty area. The ball was pushed to the opposite side, letting Trossard release it to let Cucurella shoot to the top corner.
Man Utd give up. In the 58th minute, Scott McTominay removed Trossard, letting the Belgian midfielder receive the ball like an empty place in the penalty area. He poked a hole for Gross to get past Raphael Varane, then hit the ball diagonally in front of the goalkeeper.
Witnessing this goal, Ronaldo stood shrugging, shaking his head and forced a smile. But, the nightmare of the away team has not ended. Just two minutes later, Gross poked Danny Welbeck into the penalty area in a three-on-one situation. Man Utd defenders did not bother to return to the man, letting Welbeck hit the ball past De Gea. Dalot attempted to break out on the line, but was hit by Trossard and bounced back into the net.
