United are languishing in 13th place.

Yankuba Minteh set the tone for United's moribund performance with an early opener for Brighton. Bruno Fernandes equalised with a penalty before half-time, but second half goals from Kaoru Mitoma and Georginio Rutter left United in turmoil.

Meanwhile, Everton took advantage of injury-ravaged Tottenham's troubles with a 3-2 victory to pull clear of the Premier League relegation zone. The goal-shy Toffees tore through a bedraggled Spurs backline to net three times before the break through Dominic Calvert-Lewin, Iliman Ndiaye and an Archie Gray own goal.
