Manchester United have been knocked out of the FA Cup following a 2-1 home defeat to Brighton on Sunday.

Former United striker Danny Welbeck returned to haunt Old Trafford with the decisive goal, while Shea Lacey saw red late on.

With the Red Devils already out of the Carabao Cup, they are now left with only the Premier League to play for.

Caretaker boss Darren Fletcher admitted the squad is "fragile" and devoid of confidence as fans staged protests against the club’s ownership.
