I think Brighton is becoming not a big team, but it is not a surprise.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018The quality of the players and organisation of Brighton is very high. I don\u2019t know the problems of Manchester United, but I can explain my team.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018We are used to working in our style, we are playing with courage, we defended at Old Trafford man to man all the time and we kept the ball in every situation.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/09\/16\/18\/75508693-0-image-a-59_1694884215682.jpg\" height=\"457\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Roberto De Zerbi hailed his players for maintaining their philosophy against Man United<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/09\/16\/18\/75508833-12526363-image-a-60_1694884574098.jpg\" height=\"423\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Danny Welbeck opened the scoring after 20 minutes as Brighton started the day brightly<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/09\/16\/18\/75506487-12526363-United_have_lost_three_Premier_League_matches_in_their_opening_f-a-3_1694886463761.jpg\" height=\"449\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>United have lost three Premier League matches in their opening five games this season &#8211; amid struggles on and off the pitch<\/p>\n<p>Your browser does not support iframes.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018In the first half, we suffered a lot with the pressure, but after that we played a great game.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>Another sign of Brighton\u2019s progress will be the club\u2019s first ever appearance in Europe when they face AEK Athens in the Europa League on Thursday.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;We played a great, great game.
