DANNY WELBECK came back to haunt his old club and pile more misery on Erik ten Hag.

The former Manchester United striker kept his cool in front of the Stretford End to put Brighton in front on 20 minutes.

Pascal Gross outwitted Lisandro Martinez with a nifty dummy before blasting low into the back of the net past Andre Onana to make it 2-0 eight minutes after half-time.

And Joao Pedro side-footed emphatically into the far corner to make it three on 71 minutes.

Hannibal Mejbri blasted a wonderful strike in just two minutes later to give United a glimmer of hope.

Ansu Fati almost added a fourth for the visitors in injury time but was denied by a superb diving save by Onana.
