Carlos Baleba entertained fans with a celebratory dance as he made his way down the Old Trafford tunnel, while Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes appeared visibly frustrated behind him.
The Brighton midfielder, Carlos Baleba played a major role in helping the Seagulls secure a thumping third consecutive Premier League victory against United at Old Trafford, with the match concluding in a 3-1 win for Brighton. While the team's success was aided by a lacklustre performance from United's goalkeeper, Andre Onana, Baleba took the opportunity to express his joy with a dance that resonated with rival fans. The dance, however, was seen as a mockery to Manchester United and their skipper Bruno Fernandes.

Amorim acknowledges the current batch of United as the worst in Club's history
The visitors plunged their hosts into all sorts of problems just five minutes after a strike from Yankuba Minteh. However, the Red Devils regained control, with Bruno Fernandes equalizing from the penalty spot in the 23rd minute.
Kaoru Mitoma put Brighton back in the lead at the hour mark, and Georginio Rutter sealed the victory in the 76th minute. Although the hosts launched a late flurry of attacks, they were unable to mount a comeback.
In a stark and undeniable evaluation of his new club, manager Ruben Amorim has declared this Manchester United side as the worst in its entire history. Given the current form, it's hard to dispute the Portuguese coach's assertion. In his two months at the helm, he has made no significant strides in improving a squad that is on track for its worst-ever finish in the Premier League. While Brighton has proven to be a formidable opponent, consistently outperforming expectations, it is tough for United fans to accept another home defeat to the Seagulls.
“We are being the worst team maybe in the history of Man United; we have to acknowledge that. It was similar to other games; we suffered some goals that we shouldn't suffer. Then it's hard to have possession because we are anxious." Amorim said.
"We scored the equaliser but the second half was the same thing. When we suffer goals like that then it's hard to turn around. We have to understand the moment but understand it's not acceptable for Manchester United to lose this many Premier League games. I don't know why." he added.
