Ten Hag on Hojlund: "We are very happy with our recruitment, that we recruited the right character. He can perform under stress, when things go against him, he has the character to be resilient. He kept calm. He is improving many areas, like holding up the ball." #MUFC
Ten Hag: "Fragile because we didn't take the chances, we should have scored many more goals. We could have scored five. Then we dropped too deep." #MUFC
Ten Hag on subs: "The game was going in the direction, where there was a lot of pressure on the referee, a risk for another booking + we had good replacements. I spoke already with [Casemiro]. But so unfair that first booking, second he could have given." #MUFC
🔴 Erik ten Hag: “Rasmus Højlund now has a lot of confidence, and I'm sure he will score more and more goals”. https://t.co/XNaqhy4NDr
McTominay + Evans on for Casemiro + Maguire at HT. Those bookings had put them in a precarious position. #MUFC

Astonishing how this game has gone from #MUFC in cruise control to Luton pressing + harassing. Alarming inability by Ten Hag's team to keep hold of the ball. Casemiro's caution majorly limits him. Shaw off before HT indicates a longer absence than the precaution of Villa sub.
SHOULD THIS HAVE BEEN 2ND YELLOW FOR CASEMIRO? Midfielder only player on pitch who was alive last time Utd played at Luton in league. But not acting like it... https://t.co/HN45ARENT7
Sheffield Utd 0 Brighton 5 Mason Holgate, with a contender for the worst foul of the season, helped condemn his side to 80-plus minutes with ten men and a defeat that edged his loan club a step closer to the certainty of relegation. Read the report ⬇️ https://t.co/TdICrJaOlV

The substituted Facundo Buonanotte has four goals for the season, two of them against Sheffield United, after his opener. #BHAFC #SHUBHA He also scored in last month's 5-2 win in the FA Cup at Bramall Lane (Welbeck did too), 0-2 (71).
Mitoma gets to the byline again, his shot from an acute angle turned for a corner by Foderingham, 0-2. #BHAFC #SHUBHA
Sensible to take Lamptey off, as he was on a booking. Speaking of which, a yellow card for Buonanotte for a foul on sub Trusty, 0-2. #BHAFC #SHUBHA https://t.co/YcZVhuORo9

Stuart Attwell is not having a great afternoon. According to the Premier League, he disallowed Osborn's goal for a foul on Verbruggen (via Radio Five Live). VAR Michael picked up the offsides (Osborn was offside twice). #BHAFC #SHUBHA
Sheffield United have conceded 62 goals in the league this season 😬 The most ever by a side in their first 25 matches of a Premier League campaign 😮 #SHUBHA https://t.co/UijwoRBvTB
HT: 0-2. #BHAFC #SHUBHA VAR Michael Oliver has ensured that two correct decisions were made. Red card for Holgate, Osborn goal disallowed for offside. Ref Stuart Attwell incurs the wrath of Bramall Lane as he heads down the tunnel to a crescendo of boos.
A Dunk header from a corner, pushed over by Foderingham, and a booking for Lamptey for a foul on McAtee in the closing stages of the half. #BHAFC #SHUBHA
Confirmed no goal, offside against Osborn, still 0-2. #BHAFC #SHUBHA
Sheffield United think they have a goal back from a scramble at a corner. Put in by Osborn from close range, disallowed by Stuart Attwell. Osborn offside, still no confirmation of the decision. #BHAFC #SHUBHA
I wrote about the importance of Danny Welbeck after the Tottenham defeat last week. He has two goals and two assists in his last five appearances after doubling the lead at Sheffield United. #BHAFC #SHUBHA https://t.co/RttmYlutOX
"Mason Holgate should be banned for 10 games." https://t.co/u5j3pVipPe
A dominant first half from Brighton with goals from Facundo Buonanotte and Danny Welbeck 🔥 #SHUBHA https://t.co/FjXXv9hObP
Back to that obvious dismissal after 13 minutes. Holgate, after his awful red card tackle on Mitoma, had the nerve to hold his hands up in disbelief and exclaim 'what?' to the ref. The only cause for disbelief was Stuart Attwell showing him yellow initially, 0-2. #BHAFC #SHUBHA
Just a tad high 😬 Mason Holgate was given a red card for this challenge on Kaoru Mitoma ❌😳 #SHUBHA https://t.co/q7zPPp46ED
Got to love Holgate's astonished reaction to the idea he might be punished for taking an opponent out at the knees. Game's gone. https://t.co/pIaR4LDUWe
2-0 up after 24 minutes and a man up. Could get very messy for Sheffield United. A good opportunity here now to boost the goals for column. #BHAFC #SUBHA

Gross cross to the far post, Mitoma's volley kept out by Foderingham with his left hand, loose ball lashed into the roof of the net by Welbeck. https://t.co/yMcPZLHH1x
MASON HOLGATE RED CARD. Flying tackle as clear a sending-off as you'll see. A foul worth all the cards, actually. Red, Yellow...even Blue. 🟥🟨🟦 https://t.co/enQ6FEZplO

It is a red for Holgate, quite rightly. Booked by ref Stuart Attwell initially, upgraded to ref after check by VAR Michael Oliver, 0-0. #BHAFC #SHUBHA
Chris Wilder did not look too amused by that Holgate challenge. To say the least.
Adingra's cross almost finds Welbeck an almost ends up as an own goal. Cut out by Ahmedhodzic and keeper Foderingham adjusted to claw the ball away, 0-0. #BHAFC #SHUBHA

Mad that Sheffield United have conceded five goals in their last two home games, one of those against Brighton in the FA Cup (the other Aston Villa). #BHAFC #SHUBHA They are off the back of a vital 3-1 win at Luton, needing momentum to have any hope of beating the drop.
