Manchester United is too far from a trophy, it is certain that there will be none this season after the giants were knocked out of the FA Cup.

In the third round, they were eliminated by Brighton, winning 2-1 at Old Trafford and eliminating the "Red Devils" for the first time at the seventh attempt in matches in the oldest competition in the world.

Darren Fletcher's team, who takes over after Ruben Amorim's departure, were judged by Brian Gruda and Danny Welbeck - the German scored in the 12th minute, and the former United striker in the 64th minute.

The home team got back into the match through Benjamin Šešek in the 85th minute, but there was no time to equalize with a player less (young teenager Shay Lacey was sent off).

In mid-January, United had only one competition left to play in - the Premier League, where they are currently seventh in the table.

Previously, they were eliminated from the League Cup by third-tier Grimsby.
