Manchester United scrambles after Pascal Gross levels Carabao Cup tie

In a Carabao Cup clash on September 17, Manchester United stormed to a 2-0 lead within 10 minutes, but Brighton's Pascal Gross leveled the match in the 65th minute. Gross, who has excelled against United in the past, added to his tally of eight goals in 18 matches against them. United's two early goals came from debutant Shea Lacey and Mason Mount, but they struggled offensively thereafter, reminiscent of their recent defeat in the Manchester derby despite an opponent’s red card. Discussions arise about whether signing Gross could alleviate United's chronic struggles against him.
