Manchester United's supporters were left to rue what could have been after Moises Caicedo fired Brighton & Hove Albion into a 15th minute lead at the Amex Stadium this teatime.

After getting their noses in front, Brighton continued to pose a threat, piling bodies forward. United failed to get going and looked rocked by the early setback.
