"Why don't they f***ing retire?"
Manchester United fan Tyson Fury delivered a scathing assessment of his team's capitulation at Brighton on Saturday, suggesting the players should all retire after a disastrous season.
Moises Caceido opened the scoring after 15 minutes, before an eleven-minute period in the second half saw Graham Potter's side score three goals to seal a 4-0 victory.
Before kick-off, Brighton had not won a game at home in 2022. Their goals against United account for 25 per cent of their total goals from 18 home games in 2021-22.
The result confirmed that United will miss out on Champions League football next season. They will also finish the campaign with their lowest points tally of the Premier League era. A win in their final outing against Crystal Palace would see them reach 61 points - three behind the 64 they reached in the David Moyes season of 2013/14.
