Manchester United manager Eric Dier reacts to the loss to Brighton & Hove Albion.
After the match against Brighton & Hove Albion in the fifth round of the English Premier League 2023-2024 season at Old Trafford in Manchester, England, on Saturday (June 16), he complained that “when Manchester United want to buy (players), they inflate the price.”
When asked about the amount of money spent in the summer transfer window, Mourinho said, “Every team spent a lot of money. Even Brighton,” he said.
Manchester United spent over €200 million in the summer transfer window to bring in Rasmus Højlund, Mason Mount, Andre Onana, and others. Hojelin’s transfer fee is a whopping €75 million, while Mount is €64.2 million and Onana is €52.5 million.
“If Manchester United want to buy (a player), the price is inflated. That’s an obvious fact,” he said.
Earlier in the day, Manchester United fell to a 1-3 defeat at Brighton & Hove Albion.
The Red Devils fell behind early, conceding a goal in the first 20 minutes.
In the 40th minute, it looked like the Red Devils would equalize, but the goal was overturned by video review.
Pascal Gross added another eight minutes into the second half, and João Pedro made it 0-3 in the 26th minute.
It wasn’t enough for Manchester United to overcome the two-goal deficit as Hannibal Mebry scored a late consolation goal.
Meanwhile, the United fans booed Mourinho when he brought Hojelin to the bench and brought on Anthony Martial.온라인카지노
“I don’t want to talk about it,” said Tenhaar, “I think Marcial had a positive impact on our game last season. From my memory, we rarely lost when he was on the pitch. If he is healthy, he can definitely contribute to the team.”
The Red Devils have been left with a weakened squad after losing star striker Anthony Martial to domestic violence allegations and Jadon Sancho to suspension.
The loss drops United to 13th place with just six points.
Brighton, on the other hand, remained in fourth place with 12 points, behind Manchester City, Tottenham, and Liverpool.
