Trending: Football fans rave about Lamptey’s performance against Manchester United
Tariq Lamptey put up a commendable performance although Brighton & Hove Albion suffered a 2-0 defeat to Manchester United in Tuesday’s Premier League showing.
Lifted by their away win at Watford last time out, the Seagulls travelled to Old Trafford with the ambition of picking all points against Ralf Rangnick’s men.
However, that was not the case as they crumbled thanks to second-half strikes from Cristiano Ronaldo and Bruno Fernandes.
One of the standout performers for Graham Potter’s men was Lamptey – who was introduced for Leandro Trossard on the hour mark.
Aside from giving the Red Devils a restless night with his interminable runs, the 21-year-old - who has been linked with a big move out of Falmer Stadium – contributed 22 touches, eight passes and a passing accuracy of 100%.
For this reason, Africans went on social media to express their delight with his performance.
Below are many of the best posts:
That Lamptey guy is underrated, better than all our RBs, he's been class since Brighton got promoted. #MUNBHA

Credit to Brighton though, they played a good game with both 11 and 10 men and Graham Potter has them well drilled

I though Cucurella and Lamptey (when he came on) were the standouts for them
We need to be in for Lamptey this summer

Also if Brighton had started Lamptey we would have been in trouble. He’s class.

Not to mention Lamptey is good abeg.
That lad would get to high places if he should continue this way #MUNBHA
Most of the focus will be on Ronaldo and Bruno Fernandes tonight and rightfully so, but what an unbelievable talent this young lad is. He’s got all the attributes to play for a top 4 club!!! #Lamptey #Brighton #MUFC pic.twitter.com/z4EIPjOHdO

Dalot was poor again today. Think we need a new RB in the summer aswell as midfielder. Wouldn’t mind Lamptey from Brighton tbf
