🔗 Share this article Man Utd v Brighton – English top flight Live Coverage Preamble The Red Devils, coming off victories against Liverpool and Sunderland, aim for three consecutive successes in a row in this match. Confidence is high with Ruben Amorim in charge for the very first time! Yet, the opposing team come from the south coast, with victories in their previous three visits at Manchester United’s home, plus six out of seven fixtures between the clubs. Never mind the wind behind; Brighton have found very comfortable. Having said all that, Brighton themselves remain famously erratic like United, making this match both fascinating and potentially highly entertaining. Kick-off is at 5.30pm BST and we say this for the last time in a while because remember the clocks fall back tonight, kids. Let’s go! The Teams Man Utd: Lammens in goal, Yoro starts, de Ligt features, Shaw at the back, Diallo included, Casemiro anchoring, Fernandes, Dalot on the flank, Mbeumo, Cunha, Sesko completes the XI.Subs: Bayindir, Mazraoui, Mount, Zirkzee, Malacia, Dorgu, Ugarte, Heaven, Mainoo.

Referee: Taylor (Cheshire).Video Assistant Referee: Michael Oliver (from Northumberland). Selection Changes United decided on a couple of alterations following the Anfield triumph away to Liverpool. Benjamin Šeško comes in instead of Mount, relegated to the bench, plus the decisive scorer Harry Maguire doesn’t feature at all, Yoro steps in in defence. An issue arose this week in practice. Malacia makes the squad among the substitutes in 2025-26. The Seagulls opted for one alteration following victory at home against the Magpies. Likely a defensive move, including De Cuyper instead of Gómez, now among the subs. Danny Welbeck, formerly of United champions in during the 2012-13 season, comes back to Manchester with great momentum with four recent goals, an improvement on over his last 15 matches. Leading Stories Amorim is unfazed for the opinions of the Reds’ manager … while Welbeck is focused about the considerations from the German coach. Various reports suggest the fixture may influence their respective fortunes during the league unfolds. Ones to watch include Bruno Fernandes in red plus Welbeck in blue and white, both on song lately.
