Manchester United were eliminated from the Carabao Cup third round on Wednesday following a 3-2 defeat to Brighton at Old Trafford. Despite establishing a 2-0 lead, the team conceded three goals to exit the competition. This result marks the first time in 50 years that Manchester United have lost a home match after holding a two-goal advantage.
Following the match, manager Michael Carrick stated that he does not feel under pressure, noting that the situation does not bother him. As the players left the pitch, they were met with boos from the home supporters.
The match saw Shea Lacey score in the eighth minute during his first senior start for the club. He is the first teenager to score on his debut start for Manchester United since Marcus Rashford achieved the feat in February 2016.
Manchester United are scheduled to play Fulham this Sunday, which serves as the team's final fixture before the upcoming international break.
