Manchester United against Brighton – English top flight Live Coverage
Introduction
The Red Devils, having just beaten Liverpool and Sunderland, aim for three consecutive successes in a row this evening. The wind’s behind them with Ruben Amorim in charge for the very first time!
Only problem is, the opposing team are the Seagulls, having triumphed on each of their last three trips at the Theatre of Dreams, plus six out of seven League meetings head-to-head.
Never mind the wind behind; it’s been straightforward very comfortable. Having said all that, the visitors are also consistently inconsistent similar to their opponents, so this game is competing and maybe highly entertaining.
The match begins at 5.30 in the evening one last mention with daylight saving ending, everyone. It’s on!

Squad Updates
Manchester United make a couple of alterations following last week’s victory at Anfield last weekend. Šeško is selected replacing Mount, relegated to the bench, plus the decisive scorer Maguire is absent at all, Yoro steps in in defence.
He sustained a knock this week in practice. Malacia returns in a Premier League squad in 2025-26.
Brighton have made a single switch after their 2-1 home win versus Newcastle. Likely a defensive move, including Maxim De Cuyper instead of Gómez, now among the subs.
The striker, formerly of United to win the Premier League back in 2013, returns to Old Trafford with great momentum of four goals in three games, exceeding his tally in his previous 15.
