Manchester United salvaged a 2-0 victory against Brighton in their final Premier League match of the season, with Rasmus Hojlund and Diogo Dalot securing the win. Despite the positive result, Erik ten Hag's side concluded the campaign in eighth place, marking their lowest top-flight finish since 1989-90, highlighting the team's disappointing season.
Brighton, under departing manager Roberto de Zerbi, failed to capitalize on their chances despite dominating possession and creating opportunities. Adam Webster and Joao Pedro came close to scoring in the first half but lacked the clinical finish to beat Manchester United goalkeeper Andre Onana, leaving the Seagulls frustrated.
The victory wasn't enough to secure European football for Manchester United next season, as they needed a better result than Newcastle's to clinch seventh place. However, Newcastle's 4-2 win against Brentford dashed United's hopes, meaning they must defeat Manchester City in the upcoming FA Cup final to secure a spot in the Europa League for the next season.
