Manchester United Knocked Out of FA Cup

Manchester United, playing without a manager, were eliminated from the FA Cup after a 2-1 loss to Brighton on Sunday, January 11, 2026.

The defeat came at Old Trafford, just a week after the club sacked head coach Ruben Amorim, leaving the team in temporary disarray. Fans expressed their frustration loudly, booing the players throughout the match, showing their disappointment at the team’s performance.

Brighton took advantage of United’s unstable situation and scored the winning goal, making it a painful evening for the home crowd. United managed to score only once, failing to equalize and secure a comeback.

This loss means that Manchester United is now at risk of another season without any trophies, continuing a worrying trend for the club that has won the FA Cup 13 times in its history. The team will need to regroup quickly and focus on their Premier League and other competitions to salvage the season.

The pressure is now mounting on the club’s management and players as fans demand better performances and a clear plan for the future.
