De Cuyper and Brighton pile on pain for Manchester United with comeback

Manchester United were knocked out of the Carabao Cup by Brighton after squandering a 2-0 lead at Old Trafford, losing in a comeback victory for Brighton featuring Mats De Cuyper. The defeat ends a 50-year record, as it is the first time United have lost a match at Old Trafford after leading by two goals since Tottenham's 3-2 win in September 1976. The loss compounds a difficult week for United, who also lost the Manchester derby against City and received a transfer request from JJ Gabriel.
