Brighton vs Manchester United Match Preview:

Manchester United know they must improve against Brighton if they are to maintain a winning start to the Premier League season.

In their season opener against Fulham, United’s performance was frustratingly reminiscent of past struggles, managing a narrow 1-0 victory courtesy of Joshua Zirkzee’s late winner. Meanwhile, Brighton quelled many of their pre-season doubts with an impressive away win at Everton, marking manager Fabian Hurzeler’s debut.

Erik ten Hag warned ahead of the game that his players were not fully ready for the new season and so it proved, despite securing points on the board. He now hopes his squad can shake off some of that early-season rust when they face Brighton on the south coast this weekend.

Brighton vs Manchester United Team News

Brighton is still managing a lengthy injury list, but they hope to have Evan Furguson, Pervis Estupinan, and Tariq Lamptey available for selection.

However, Bart Verbruggen, Solomon March, Julio Enciso, and Yankuba Minteh – who was forced off during the win over Everton– are likely to be ruled out.

Man Utd are in a similar position with injuries, with Victor Lindelof and Jadon Sancho being the only two of seven players close to returning.

Rasmus Hojlund and Luke Shaw are not expected back until after the September International break, while Tyrell Malacia and Leny Yoro are looking for November returns.
