Man Utd lost 1-0 to Man City on Sunday despite having a advantage of an extra player for three quarters of the game.

The United boss, Michael Carrick, said: “Sunday’s Manchester derby was extremely frustrating for a number of reasons but now we have to move on quickly and get back to winning ways.

“The fixtures are coming thick and fast ahead of the international break next week; we have a squad full of talent with everybody pushing to play.

“As a group of coaches, players and staff, we want to play as many games as we possibly can this season, so we need to progress through matches like this one and make sure we keep competing on every front.”

JJ Gabriel has left Manchester United surprised with the news that he wants to leave the club.

The 15-year-old is being tipped as the next great product from the United youth system but now wants to become a free agent by giving United formal notice to cancel his registration with the club.

United were planning to include him in their squad for Wednesday’s Carabao Cup tie against Brighton and have been left bemused by the reason behind him wanting to leave.

They also feel as though the situation can be resolved.

The 15-year-old is one of the brightest talents to emerge from the United youth system in years and was thought to be part of Michael Carrick’s Carabao Cup squad against Brighton.

Michael Carrick gave an update in the build-up to tonight’s match on some of the players who are injured.

“Amad is not quite close, in terms of days, you know,” Carrick said.

“We’ll see as the week progresses but Matta [De Ligt] is just working his way back really. So I don’t want to, because of the timeframe on it, and how it’s been, I don’t want to really put too much of a timeframe on it.

“Luke [Shaw] could. He could possibly be fit for Brighton but we’ll see. It’s not clear cut but it’s a matter of a few days rather than anything else.”

“We are still early in the season. We don’t take these things for granted,” Fabian Hurzeler said when assessing his team’s next run of games.

“We should understand that we are in the situation from doing the basic things right. We should stay very humble. I think that’s a big value for me and the team. So we keep working hard, keep doing the basic things right. That’s the main message.

“We should also have this belief in ourselves, have this confidence in our quality that we can go to any place in the league and compete.

“And now we have two big games ahead of us before the international break, and we take that belief into both of them.”

Across four matches in the top flight this season Brighton have scored 13 goals and are leading the way in terms of goals netted – Chelsea are second with 10.

The manager also spoke about why he thinks his team are excelling in the final third of the pitch.

“I mentioned at the beginning of the season that it’s not about having one good goalscorer. It’s about having this flexibility of having many goalscorers, of having a lot of players who have the desire to score,” he explained.

“And if you have the desire to score, then you can score from all different positions. So it’s all about sacrificing things and making these runs into a box. I think that’s also a mindset thing.”

Brighton manager Fabian Hurzeler was impressed by his team’s victory over Coventry last weekend but admitted that the performance was not ‘complete’.

“I wouldn’t say complete. I think part of the truth is that we had a good goalkeeper,” he reflected.

“We had in certain moments a little bit of luck that Coventry didn’t score. But overall we had a good balance between controlling the game in possession, having good structure in possession, and keeping our defensive stability.

“I think the chances they had were after set pieces, were after second phases. But for that we had a great goalkeeper, and the other part too is that in the right moment we scored the goals and we had the momentum on our side. What was positive, of course, is a clean sheet.

“What was positive is that we had this desire to score, we had this hunger to keep going and that overall makes a good performance.

“But we also understand we have to be very humble and shouldn’t take these things for granted.”

Last time out, the Seagulls were in fine form as they swept Coventry aside and will bring that confidence into tonight’s match at Old Trafford.
