Man Utd boss Ten Hag praises goalscorer Mejbri for cameo

Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag was happy with Hannibal Mejbri's cameo in defeat to Brighton.

The midfielder came off the bench to score his first goal for the club in the second-half.

Ten Hag told MUTV: "He did what we brought him [on] for, having an impact and bringing energy. He did it. I think there were more individuals, like Diogo Dalot, [who] played very well, and Marcus Rashford had moments.

"Rasmus Hojlund was a threat all the time. We had some good players on the pitch.

"We were unlucky, unfortunate. We didn't get what we were looking for and that was the result."
