On a star-studded Sunday evening (7th), a much-anticipated English Premier League feast kicked off as Manchester United hosted "Seagulls" Brighton, which not only marked the Red Devils' first league match of the new season, but also unveiled a suspenseful contest. Before the match, Cron, who was rumored to be on the verge of leaving the club, was not included in the starting lineup by new manager Tannhäuser. Despite the absence of center midfielder Anthony Madill due to injury, the manager insisted on his high-pressure tactics and did not show the slightest compromise on Cron's absence.

In fact, Cron posted a photo on social media wearing a United shirt with the word "READY" written next to it, accompanied by a prayer and a powerful arm motif, seemingly announcing to the world his readiness. However, Tan's opinion on Cron's inability to adapt to his pressing tactics remains unchanged.

With Cron unavailable, Kirsten Allison, who transferred from Binford, makes his debut in a United shirt in the Premier League. He will be joined in the attacking line by Bircharton, Sinzu, Bono Fernandes and Rashford as they look to start their campaign in style at the Otford Stadium.
