Sir Alex Ferguson's simple pre-match advice for Ruben Amorim appeared to fall on deaf ears as the current Man United boss revealed advice he received from his legendary predecessor. United's stars cut dejected figures at full-time on Sunday as Brighton recorded a convincing league double by way of a dominant 3-1 victory at Old Trafford.

Goals from Yankuba Minteh, Kaoru Mitoma, and Georginio Rutter proved to the difference after Bruno Fernandes hauled the hosts level from the penalty spot at 1-1 before United crumbled in the second-half. Ferguson - along with a hose of United legends - was in attendance as Amorim's side slumped to a 10th Premier League defeat of the season and shared a brief moment with the Portuguese head coach pre-match.

The legendary Scotsman joined other icons associated with the club's glory days - that were largely orchestrated by him - in a show of remembrance for United legend Denis Law who passed away on Friday at the age of 84. A host of touching pre-match tributes were held to remember a key member of United's 'Trinity' with Ferguson laying a wreath on the turf just moments before kick-off.
