Brighton vs Manchester United LIVE!

Table toppers Brighton beat United 2-1 on Saturday to stay perfect in the Premier League after Joao Pedro scored a late winner in the fifth minute of added time. Brighton took the lead when Kaoru Mitoma received the ball on the left flank before his cross went through United's defence and into the six-yard box where Danny Welbeck stuck a leg out to score against his former club.

Amad Diallo drew United level at the hour mark when he was put through on goal and the 22-year-old cut inside his marker before shooting, with the ball being deflected past keeper Jason Steele and into the net.

With the game seemingly heading for a draw, Brighton's pressure paid off when Simon Adingra found space in the box and chipped the ball over United's defenders to an unmarked Pedro who headed home to give them their second win of the season.

13:46 , Alex Young

Second half!

13:33 , Alex Young

46min: Change for United at the break as Zirkzee replaces Mount. Unfortunate for Mount, who impressed in the first half.

13:31 , Alex Young

Zirkzee now being talked through pages and pages of tactical instructions on an iPad.

13:28 , Alex Young

We might be seeing Zirkzee sooner rather than later. He’s out on the pitch warming up during half-time.

13:24 , Alex Young

So that was another turgid half from United. You pretty much copy and paste that every game for God knows how far back.

Brighton rarely threatened, and when they were it was dealt with well. The hosts deserve their lead and could have had another.

Half-time

47min: There’s the whistle.

13:16 , Alex Young

44min: Another opening for Brighton, only for Mitoma to slip when trying to find a team-mate in the centre.

13:13 , Alex Young

40min: Brighton still fairly comfortable as we approach half-time. Not a lot of urgency from United despite bossing possession.

13:07 , Alex Young

36min: United win a corner off Mount, who has been busy today.

NO GOAL!

13:05 , Alex Young

34min: Rashford thinks he has equalised immediately, but is quickly flagged offside.

GOAL!

13:03 , Alex Young

32min: Welbeck stretches out a boot to prod home Mitoma’s cut back, and that’s his 100th Premier League goal!

13:00 , Alex Young

29min: Minteh is so busy. He closes Onana down to rush the keeper into a clearance which ends with Brighton winning a foul further up the pitch.

12:58 , Alex Young

27min: United starting to turn the screw, this time Dalot bending from one from 25 yards which has Steele scrambling.

12:54 , Alex Young

24min: Summed up immediately as Mainoo’s cross lands on Casemiro’s head and he can’t direct an effort on target.

12:53 , Alex Young

22min: Not too much quality on show in the final third at the moment.

12:50 , Alex Young

19min: An abysmal ball forward from Casemiro as overhit by about 40 yards, leaving Rashford and Fernandes with no chance of collecting it.

12:49 , Alex Young

18min: Rashford gives the ball away on the edge of his area as Minteh nicks in, shimmies to the left and then right and fires a shot-cum-cross at the corner flag.

12:46 , Alex Young

16min: United look to make something happen as Mount frees Mazraoui down the right and the defender looks to find Rashford in the centre, but his cross is headed clear.

12:45 , Alex Young

14min: Gilmour wins a free kick off Mainoo. Brighton relatively comfortable at the moment.

CHANCE!

12:43 , Alex Young

12min: Dalot whips in a beauty of cross which is begging for Amad to bury at the far post, but he opts to volley with his left and gets it all wrong.

12:41 , Alex Young

10min: Joao Pedro tries his luck from 30 yards, but is dribbles wide of Onana’s right post.

12:38 , Alex Young

7min: Brighton give away a cheap corner off Dunk after pressure from Amad inside the area.

Fernandes takes... and Van Hecke heads away.

12:36 , Alex Young

5min: It’s a wet surface today and a ball over the top to Fernandes skips away from him and out of play for a goal kick.

12:35 , Alex Young

4min: Minteh gets to the byline and drills in a cross which Onana gathers.

We will be seeing plenty of that down the right today, you’d imagine.

12:33 , Alex Young

2min: Early possession from Brighton as every player gets a touch.

Kick-off!

12:31 , Alex Young

1min: Here we go!

12:27

Here come the players. The rain has stopped.

12:24 , Alex Young

Right, were just over five minutes away. Teams coming out shortly.

Brighton manager on being the youngest boss in the league

12:16 , Alex Young

“There are always advantages and disadvantages, but what I say is that I speak the language of the players.

"I did not play at this level where they are at the moment, but I understand the person behind the player; how they feel, how they think, when they play, when they don't play. That is an advantage that I am the same age and on the same page as them."

Amad Diallo playing after family death

12:12 , Alex Young

Amad Diallo confirmed last night that his brother's mother, and not his biological mum, passed away in the week.

He posted on Snapchat: "Rest in peace Mum, may Allah forgive you."

Amad later added: "Guys I wanted to clarify. She is not my biological mother, she is my brother's mother and my sister. May she rest in peace."

Manchester Evening News report that Adam asked to play today despite the bereavment.

12:08 , Alex Young

The rain is starting to ease and the fans continue to enter the stadium.

Alan Shearer predicts score draw

11:55 , Alex Young

"Brighton had the outstanding result of the weekend, going to Everton with the new and youngest manager in the league and they were sensational,” he told Betfair.

"Danny Welbeck up front, Kaoru Mitoma, Yankuba Minteh, who I know had to go off at half-time, but Simon Adingra came on who was superb as well. What a great result for Brighton, going away and winning by three goals.

"It will be a very tough game for Manchester United, they got a result as well of course, albeit they did not play that well, but they got the right result which is the important thing at this stage of the season. It's a tough one for Manchester United, to visit a team who won by three goals on the road last weekend. It's a tough game to predict but I think it will be a score draw."

Erik ten Hag on Jadon Sancho and any further transfer business

11:39 , Alex Young

"He is here, but I had a choice to make. We had some issues, so we needed a full squad and he is one of them.

"He has to compete for his position and day to day, we'll have a look. In the squad, we need double in every position as it will be a long season.

"We will see [about further signings]. We always have to look to get better, but it has to be the right options."

One change and unchanged

11:30 , Alex Young

So, this is rather simple.

Billy Gilmour, amid links with Napoli, starts for Brighton today in just one change. Club-record signing Georginio Rutter is on the bench.

Manchester United are unchanged from the win over Fulham. That means Alejandro Garnacho, Matthijs de Ligt and Joshua Zirkzee are again on the bench.

Joining them as a substitute is Scott McTominay, amid links with Napoli.

Erik ten Hag says Alejandro Garnacho has 'world class' potential

11:00 , Alex Young

Erik ten Hag believes Alejandro Garnacho has the "X factor" and potential to become a world-class player but says the Manchester United star still has a "long way to go".

The 20-year-old has quickly established himself as a fan favourite at Old Trafford, scoring 16 goals in 87 appearances having come through the academy set-up. Garnacho is now pushing for his first start of the season today.

"He has high potential, 100 per cent," Ten Hag said of Garnacho. "He showed last season he can contribute, he can be a starting XI player. But to make the jump to become a world-class player, a long way to go and it starts with very hard work.

"That brought him where he is now and that will bring him to that world-class player because - and that is where I agree - he has the potential (to become)."

It’s a lovely sunny day on the south coast.

Fabian Hurzeler dismisses Brighton record vs United

10:43 , Alex Young

Brighton have won four of their last five league meetings with Manchester United, but manager Fabian Hurzeler is wary of the individual talent in Erik ten Hag's squad and dismissed the significance of the recent results between the sides.

"It would be a little too much if I say we're the favourites against Manchester United," he said. "What I can say is that we try to continue building on the foundation that was built here in recent years.

"Brighton have won a lot of times against Manchester. We know it's a big opponent but we shouldn't hide.

"We should have respect and try to have the best preparation but we also have ambitions and should go into a game like this with self-confidence.

"The results from the past are the past, now it's a new game.

"They have individual quality on the pitch, so you never can lose your attention on the game because they can decide a game in one situation."

Scott McTominay's swansong?

10:36 , Alex Young

Scott McTominay is expected to be in the squad this afternoon - team news announced at around 11.15am - for what could be the final time.

Napoli are showing interest in the midfielder and if a deal is reached, with any club, McTominay would leave before United’s next game.

The summer transfer deadline is next Friday.

Brighton vs Manchester United prediction

10:30 , Alex Young

Man Utd appear to have improved little from last season, though it remains early days in the new campaign. Brighton, meanwhile, look to have bought into their manager’s approach well over the summer, though were helped by Ashley Young’s red card to run out 3-0 winners at Everton.

United will pose a tougher test than the Toffees, though Brighton look like a potentially trickier opponent than Fulham. The Seagulls have got the better of Ten Hag plenty of times - winning four of five league games between the sides - and can continue that run on Saturday.

Brighton to win, 2-1.

Manchester United team news

10:22 , Alex Young

Erik ten Hag has a few selection issues to resolve.

Both Joshua Zirkzee and Alejandro Garnacho came off the bench and had an impact during the curtain-raising win over Fulham, with summer signing Zirkzee scoring the winner with three minutes to go.

The pair will hope they have done enough to earn a start on the south coast, with Mason Mount and Amad Diallo both making less of an impact.

Further back, Matthijs de Ligt is in line to make his full debut after a cameo appearance against Fulham.

The summer arrival replaced Harry Maguire last week after the fellow defender limped off. Ten Hag later explained Maguire’s withdrawal was a precautionary measure, but the manager will no doubt be keen to get his new defender up to speed as soon as possible.

Brighton team news

10:14 , Alex Young

Pervis Estupinan, Tariq Lamptey and Evan Ferguson will be assessed but long-term absentee Solly March remains unavailable.
