“I feel depressed and sad” – Chinese fan who travelled all the way to watch Manchester United against Brighton offers viral reaction after defeat
A Manchester United fan's post-match reaction after traveling all the way from China to attend their 3-1 defeat against Brighton & Hove Albion has gone viral on social media.
Erik ten Hag's Manchester United locked horns against Roberto De Zerbi's Brighton on September 16 (Saturday). The Red Devils suffered their third defeat of the 2023-24 Premier League season against the Seagulls following goals from Danny Welbeck (20'), Pascal Groß (53') and João Pedro (71').
The Red Devils enjoyed a positive opening 20 minutes of the game. However, a soft goal conceded against the run of play completely shifted the momentum towards the Seagulls. After the match ended, the Chinese fan was asked about Manchester United's performance in the game. He bemoaned the lack of effort and cohesiveness among the United players, saying (via GOAL):
"I come from China. It's my first time to go to watch a Manchester game. I feel too depressed and bad. It's too weak come on Manchester United. When are you becoming a man? I'm sorry, I wear this. I feel depressed."
Next, the Red Devils will travel to Allianz Arena as they will lock horns against Thomas Tuchel's Bayern Munich in their UEFA Champions League opening game on September 20 (Wednesday).
