Manchester United fans showed unwavering support for Cristiano Ronaldo as their team endured a disappointing 3-1 loss to Brighton at Old Trafford.
The new season has been challenging for Erik ten Hag’s squad, especially since it commenced without the Portuguese superstar, who departed by mutual agreement late last year.

In the corresponding fixture in 2022, Ronaldo indeed found the net, and a vocal section of supporters eagerly chanted his name within the stadium.
In a video widely circulated on social media, the resounding chant of “Viva Ronaldo” echoed throughout the stadium, demonstrating the strong backing for the current Al-Nassr captain.
This heartfelt display of support occurred amid the backdrop of Ronaldo’s intricate history with Manchester United’s manager, Erik ten Hag.
Brighton end Man United’s unbeaten home run
Per TalkSPORT, Brighton heaped further misery on United as attention returned to on-field matters on Saturday afternoon.
BBC reports that goals from Danny Welbeck, Pascal Gross, and Joao Pedro secured the away side a comfortable win before Hannibal Mejbri’s consolation goal.
This marked the end of the Old Trafford outfit’s impressive 31-game unbeaten streak at home in all competitions, and it was against the same team that had last defeated them at home in Ten Hag’s debut match in charge.
There was no thrilling comeback akin to United’s previous home match against Nottingham Forest, as focus now shifts to the upcoming Champions League showdown against Bayern Munich on Wednesday.
