Man Utd versus Brighton – Premier League Updates
Introduction
Man Utd, coming off victories against Sunderland and Liverpool, aim for a trio of victories on the bounce tonight. Confidence is high managed by Ruben Amorim currently!
Only problem is, Brighton are the Seagulls, having triumphed during three consecutive away games to Old Trafford, and six of the last seven fixtures in this rivalry.
Despite United’s form; for the Seagulls relatively easy. Nevertheless, the visitors are also famously erratic similar to their opponents, therefore the fixture appears intriguing and possibly rollickingly good entertainment.
The match begins at 5.30 in the evening a final reminder for now as the clocks go back this evening, everyone. Game on!

Selection Changes
United decided on two adjustments after the Anfield triumph away to Liverpool. Benjamin Šeško comes in replacing Mount, now on the substitutes, while last week’s win-securing hero Maguire is absent completely, Yoro replaces him in defence.
He sustained a knock during training this week. Tyrell Malacia is named on the bench in 2025-26.
The Seagulls opted for one alteration post-success against against the Magpies. It’s ostensibly a defensive one, swapping in De Cuyper for Diego Gómez, on the bench.
Welbeck, ex-United player to win the Premier League back in 2013, visits his old club on a hot streak scoring four in three, an improvement on from 15 prior games.
Build-Up
Ruben Amorim doesn’t much care regarding comments from Liverpool’s boss … while Welbeck is focused regarding the plans by the former Chelsea manager.
