Man Utd chief Ed Woodward pictured ANGRY in stands seconds after final whistle at Brighton
MANCHESTER UNITED executive vice-chairman Ed Woodward was picked out by TV cameras seconds after their shock defeat to Brighton.
Mourinho needs to work with the team he has says expert
Woodward, the man tasked who failed to bring in any of Jose Mourinho's transfer targets, was in the stands at the Amex to see United go down to a 3-2 defeat.
Sky Sports cameras panned to him in the stands at full-time and Woodward looked visibly angry.
Wearing a Manchester United club suit and tie, Woodward could be seen slumped back in his chair while pursing his lips.
As the Woodward images were broadcast on Sky Sports, commentator Martin Tyler said: "Manchester United have some sorting out to do with the personnel they have.

"He was the man in charge of bringing players in before the window was shut.
"You know form Jose Mourinho he didn't get what he wanted and you could see that today."
Brighton stunned a lacklustre United with two early goals through Glenn Murray and Shane Duffy.
Romelu Lukaku halved the deficit before the break before Pascal Gross, after being scythed down by Eric Bailly, restored the two-goal lead from the spot.
Paul Pogba scored a late consolation penalty in second-half injury time but it was too little too late.
Appearing on Sky Sports alongside Tyler, United legend Gary Neville said: "Manchester United were poor on the ball and poor off the ball.
"They weren't good enough in attack but the back four, especially in the first half, melted.
"You can't melt away from home in the Premier League. You have to stand up strong.
"Deep down Jose Mourinho will know he wanted men of authority and leadership at the centre of his defence and he doesn't feel he's got them."
Mourinho was desperate to bring in reinforcements this summer and he handed Woodward a list of defensive targets.
Jerome Boateng, Harry Maguire, Toby Alderweireld and Yerry Mina were all on it but United couldn't get any deals over the line.
United's performance was slammed by fans on social media with some dubbing it the 'worst ever'.
Jose Mourinho: I want to focus on the players that are available
But Brighton were well worth the three points and their showing was praised by former Premier League defender Matt Upson.
"I can't talk highly enough of Brighton. We can see the negatives in Man United but game management across the board was great from Brighton," he told the BBC.
"In every position they made great choices. They did what they needed to do to win this game. Congratulations to them.
"You have to single Glenn Murray out as man of the match. Anthony Knockaert and Solly March have had good games, but in terms of game management you won't see a better performance."
