Manchester United fans have been left concerned about Leny Yoro after their 3-1 defeat to Brighton at Old Trafford.

United fell to their fourth home defeat in six Premier League matches against the Seagulls on Sunday afternoon.

Yankuba Minteh gave Brighton a first half lead before Bruno Fernandes equalised from the penalty spot.

But goals from Kaoru Mitoma and Georginio Rutter - the latter capitalising on an error from goalkeeper Andre Onana - sealed the three points for Fabian Hurzeler's side.

After the game, United boss Ruben Amorim said his side are 'being the worst team maybe in the history of Manchester United'.

Amorim made three changes to his starting XI for the Brighton clash, with Joshua Zirkzee, Diogo Dalot and Harry Maguire returning to the lineup.

He decided to keep faith with Yoro after the 3-1 win over Southampton, with the Frenchman having struggled to cope with the sheer pace of Kamaldeen Sulemana down the Saints' left flank.

It was in the last minute of the Brighton clash, when the result was all but secured, that left United fans concerned about the centre-back.

The 18-year-old was shoved by Solly March and took several steps back before then confronting the Brighton winger along with Alejandro Garnacho.

While some fans felt Yoro could have dealt with the shove differently, other fans were quick to defend the former Lille defender and believe he will quickly learn from the experience at the highest level of English football.

One wrote: "He's a kid, Saliba doesn't have it in him but he does his work on the pitch."

A second added: "He's a kid, come on."

A third said: "He is 18 years old. Leave him alone."

United are next in action against Rangers on Thursday in the Europa League, with Amorim again expected to make changes given United's standing in seventh place - with three wins and three draws - with two games remaining in the group stages.
