Manchester United's FA Cup campaign came to an abrupt end as they suffered a 2-1 defeat to Brighton & Hove Albion at Old Trafford. The match was marked by a clinical performance from the Seagulls, who capitalized on their opponents' struggles in front of goal.
The lone goal for Manchester United was scored through Marcus Rashford, but it was not enough to stem the tide as Brighton took control of the contest with two goals from Danny Welbeck and Alexis Mac Allister. The victory marked a stunning upset, as Brighton secured their first FA Cup win over Manchester United since 1983.
The loss marks a significant blow to Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side, who were looking to bounce back from a slump in form. The defeat will have raised questions about the team's ability to compete against top-level opposition in cup competitions.
Brighton, on the other hand, will be thrilled with their performance, which showcased their attacking prowess and defensive solidity. The victory is a testament to the progress made under Graham Potter, who has transformed the Seagulls into a formidable force in English football.

Brighton totally outplayed them and deserved that win. I mean, I've seen some good teams get knocked off their perch before, but this one was on another level. It's like they came to the party with a full-on performance 
Marcus Rashford scoring the only goal is just not enough anymore. They need more than just one guy to carry them through.
Not me, that's for sure!
I'm still trying to wrap my head around that result at Old Trafford! Manchester United was so close to getting a much-needed boost, but Brighton just pipped them at the post 
. I mean, Marcus Rashford did get on the scoresheet, but 2-1 against Brighton? That's not enough when you're playing at home 
.
. And that Danny Welbeck guy? What a goal-scoring machine! 
I'm loving the way they're playing with confidence now.
. Maybe it's time to get some new signings? We'll see how they bounce back from this one 
.
they had such big chances but just couldn't score... dan welbeck's 2 goals were insane 
and brighton's defense was solid as a rock 
ole solskjaer must be losing sleep over this one 
anyway, congrats to brighton on their win! they totally deserved it 
Brighton played some tight defense and those goalies for man ut are just not cuttin' it 
Graham potter must be doin somethin right, though, 'cause brighton just got a major upset and i'm lovin it 
yeah that's pretty shocking. i mean brighton didn't expect to win 2-1 at old Trafford but they totally outplayed man utd. their goals were clinical and well-taken. man u was way off the mark on the other hand. rashford's goal was about it for them 
, i was rooting for them all season. brighton played some really solid footy and took advantage of mancs mistakes. gotta give 'em credit for that 2-1 win 
. got to keep an eye on Graham Potter and his team, they might be more than just a one-off 
. They've been struggling all season and it's clear they're not as strong as they used to be. Brighton played them fair and square and deserved the win, can't fault 'em for that 
. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer needs to sort out his team ASAP or he'll be out of a job 
. What's going on with Rashford, he was always the one who'd score the goals but now it seems like he's having a dip 
omg that was such a shocker!! brighton totally deserved it tho, they were so clinical and solid on defense! ole's team just couldn't seem to get anything going 
meanwhile, bravo to brighton for pulling off such an epic upset 
. Manchester United's FA Cup dreams are shattered...and I'm not even mad about it 
.
.
I'm curious to see how Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's team bounces back from this loss 
Graham Potter must be loving every minute of this 
. And Graham Potter, what a manager! He's really turned around that team and I love how he's been building from within 
danny welbeck is just so underrated, hes been killing it lately! and alexis mac allister is like a different player altogether, so sharp and clinical with his passing
