Man Utd against Brighton – Premier League Match Report
Match Preview
The Red Devils, coming off victories against Sunderland and Liverpool, aim for a trio of victories in a row in this match. The wind’s behind them managed by Ruben Amorim currently!
Only problem is, the opposing team are the Seagulls, who have won during three consecutive away games to Old Trafford, and six of the last seven fixtures head-to-head.
Forget the momentum; for the Seagulls very comfortable. Having said all that, Brighton are otherwise consistently inconsistent similar to their opponents, making this match intriguing and possibly highly entertaining.
Start time is 17:30 BST a final reminder for now because remember the clocks fall back tonight, folks. It’s on!

Team News
United decided on two adjustments following the Anfield triumph against Liverpool. Šeško starts instead of Mount, now on the substitutes, while last week’s win-securing hero Maguire is absent entirely, Leny Yoro taking his place in defense.
Maguire picked up an injury this week in practice. Malacia makes the squad in a Premier League squad in 2025-26.
The Seagulls opted for one alteration post-success against over Newcastle. Likely a defensive move, bringing in De Cuyper replacing Gómez, on the bench.
Welbeck, a member of the last Manchester United squad to win the Premier League back in 2013, visits his old club with great momentum scoring four in three, one more than he’d managed from 15 prior games.
