    No urgency from United, I don't think they know they are losing 3-1.

    Man Utd could kill two birds with one stone by getting Zidane, it removes Mourinho and it could act as a catalyst to keep Pogba interested for the current season and potentially beyond.

    Manchester United have not been under this pressure for a long time and they just do not know what to do.

    Former Arsenal defender on BBC Radio 5 Live

    I would be the first to applaud him for his performance against Leicester.

    But today has indicated how fragile Paul Pogba is mentally. He can't focus and get a performance out of himself. He is off the pace, when receiving the ball he is sloppy, not using any energy. A poor performance and for a manager like Mourinho it must be very frustrating to watch.

    Mark: Mourinho needs to stop talking about other clubs and put his own house in order. World class players are looking like Sunday league plodders.

    Tom: Man United's defending is even worse than Arsenal's. Lindelof and Bailly look like comedy circus players

    United get a corner and Paul Pogba rises to meet it but it skims off his head and away for a goal kick.

    Solly March has been absolutely brilliant for Brighton today.

    Working both in defence and having the guile in attack for his side.

    Brighton 3-1 Man Utd

    Victor Lindelof has had a shocker at the back so far.

    He tries to pick out United team-mate Marcus Rashford with a long ball over the top of the Brighton defence, but even the speedy Rashford cannot catch that.

    Matt: As a neutral it is quite fun watching the wheels come off at United. Looking forward to hearing Mourinho's excuse or who he blames already

    Gee: You can't blame Jose Mourinho for spending lots of money on players that he says in public he doesn't think are good enough, and you can't blame him for the players not wanting to play for him because of that. It'd never happened before to him...

    Like a pack of dogs, Brighton are all over Manchester United, giving the reds no time on the ball and hounding each visiting player.

    No, no, no.

    United midfielder Fred takes aim from 30 yards but his shot ends up in the stand behind Mathew Ryan's goal.

    What are United playing at at the back?

    Paul Pogba plays a risky cross-field pass to Eric Bailly, who miscontrols and also lets Solly March in on goal.

    But the Ivorian recovers in time to clear.

    Jordan: Am I crazy to think Man United should let Mourinho go and try get a Moyes or Pulis in? They will bring a desire and backbone to this team that is clearly lacking. We need to re-think our level because we won't be a top 6 team this season if he stays.

    Jordan clearly on a wind-up here.

  18. 'City absolutely on it'published at 17:02 British Summer Time 19 August 2018

    Man City 6-1 Huddersfield

    Huddersfield Town

    Huddersfield boss David Wagner, speaking to BBC Sport: "We faced a City side absolutely on it. They were different class and we were second best and that is why we conceded this defeat.

    "We hoped for more out of the last two games but we didn't expect more. This means nothing more than we get these two games out of our head now and focus on the next one.

    "You learn out of every game - defeat, win or draw. We have seen that it is possible to collect points against the top six but it is very, very difficult."

  19. Aguero and Jesus connected wellpublished at 17:00 British Summer Time 19 August 2018

    Man City 6-1 Huddersfield

    Manchester City

    Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola, speaking to BBC Sport: "I never saw Sergio like right now. When he come here in the past he was always at a high level. He scored three goals but not just that - he created chances and passes and movement and he connected really well with Gabriel Jesus."

    On Benjamin Mendy: "Hopefully he can be fit for the rest of the season. He gives us the opportunity to attack in different ways."

    On David Silva, whose son Mateo - who spent five months in hospital after being born prematurely - was at the game: "His son fought a lot to be here. Wow, the first game of Mateo here - the free-kick goal was amazing. Mateo came in the locker room with us, it was a good moment."

  20. 'Poor decision not to send off Hughes'published at 16:57 British Summer Time 19 August 2018

    Burnley 1-3 Watford

    Burnley

    Burnley manager Sean Dyche speaking to BBC Sport:

    "We gave the game away. In the very beginning we were not very sharp, their first shot on target goes in. We responded very well, had a good first half and had a number of chances we should have made more of. There has got to be that real demand to get in the box and score, got to drive. The players had a warning to start the second half right and we didn’t.

    "They score a third from a poor pass, a good finish but from someone who shouldn’t be on the pitch for a poor tackle on Ward. Will Hughes was not in control and makes contact, our players don’t roll around. A very poor tackle and the player scores a goal.

    "At 3-1 they can bring a midfielder on and work on the counter. We have to open up the pitch. They could break the lines and defend properly, which they did and saw the game out."
