Manchester United v Brighton – Premier League Match Report
Introduction
Man Utd, having just beaten Sunderland and Liverpool, look to make it three Premier League wins in a row in this match. Confidence is high managed by Ruben Amorim now more than ever!
Only problem is, Brighton are the Seagulls, with victories during three consecutive away games at Manchester United’s home, and six of the last seven fixtures between the clubs.
Never mind the wind behind; it’s been straightforward it’s been a breeze. That said, Brighton are otherwise famously erratic similar to their opponents, so this game is both fascinating and potentially rollickingly good entertainment.

Team News
Man Utd have made two changes following the Anfield triumph against Liverpool. Šeško is selected instead of Mount, now on the substitutes, plus the decisive scorer Harry Maguire doesn’t feature entirely, Yoro steps in in defence.
An issue arose in midweek sessions. Malacia returns among the substitutes for the first time this season.
The Seagulls opted for a single switch after their 2-1 home win against the Magpies. It’s ostensibly a defensive one, bringing in De Cuyper for Diego Gómez, on the bench.
The striker, ex-United player to win the Premier League during the 2012-13 season, returns to Old Trafford on a hot streak scoring four in three, exceeding his tally over his last 15 matches.
