Very good second half performance in fairness, thus deserved a result. Well at least I enjoyed some of the match and a win.

Another classic United comeback win.

We came out of half time on a mission

Second half was excellent to be fair, Brighton rode their luck and united deserved to come back.

Bad start, totally destroyed them in 2nd half. Well deserved!

Team isn't playing for the manager following his racist anti-mohican comments and sexist anti-women comments. OLE OUT.

Second half was very good I thought. Bruno and Mason were great.

Another one in the long line of 'didn't play well but at least scraped the win'.

We might not be a creative, attractive, exciting team but we're undoubtedly a resilient one.

Drifting through far too many games lately. AWB was dodgy. Maguire is on it at the moment. Lindelof looking a bit braver recently too.
A win is a win though.

A difficult watch. At HT I knew it was in us to win but it was terrible stuff. Lovely finish from Rashford...we say it all the time, the less time he has to think he’s awesome.

Anyone know if that prick got booked for taking down Fernandes on his assist?

Well I only saw last 10 mins and we scored the winner and then couldn't get the ball.

Every game is a struggle. Not good for my nerves. Very very important 3 points though

Leggy performance after the Internationals and Brighton were largely fresh. Big win.

A result we desperately needed. Scoring two again a well drilled low block.

They only just lost to City and they beat Liverpool.

Huge goals for Greenwood and Rashford too.

Bit too slow to respond after their goal but we got it done.

Didn't see us getting anything after that first half, so delighted with the win. The performance not so much.

Important result but a poor performance on the whole. Much better in the 2nd half but the first was pretty woeful.

That’s gotta be top 4 secured though. Can fully focus on the Europa League now.

Greenwood’s goals was so pleasing. The exact type of goal he needs to add to take his game to the next level.

Nice to see 3 United academy graduates get on the teamsheet, 2nd half was better from United. Think this was Greenwood's first headed goal for the first team so that is nice as well.

Made hard work of it, but good win and have taken the chance to pull clear of some of our rivals too. Not many top performers today but have given Greenwood MOTM who I thought did play well and obvs got the winner. Fred had his worst game in a red shirt in a long time though which was worrying.

Great weekend in terms of the table but that wasn’t all that convincing against a bad Brighton side.

Happiest for Mason.

Definitely seemed like we got a kick up the arse at half time, much better intensity and caused them problems, good win.
