5 takeaways from Manchester United's shock defeat to Brighton

#2 Jesse Lingard needs to start

Jesse Lingard - Second half substitute versus Brighton

England World Cup hero, Jesse Lingard tasted his first action of the new campaign as a second-half substitute.

It was clear that his energy and attack-mindedness were what was lacking from a lethargic first-half performance.

Lingard pressed, dribbled and continually gave the Brighton defenders something to think about. For that reason, United boss, Jose Mourinho must find a way to fit Lingard into his starting line-up for their next encounter versus Tottenham Hotspur.
