Manchester United vs Brighton live stream: How to watch Premier League fixture online and on TV today

Manchester United host Brighton and Hove Albion on the opening weekend of the Premier League season.

Last term’s 4-0 thrashing at the end of the campaign will still be fresh in the mind of the Red Devils’ players, even if the dugout has seen yet another change.

This will be Erik ten Hag’s first game in the English top flight and he has a big job on to take United back to the top of the country’s footballing tree.

For Brighton, the loss of Marc Cucurella means money in their pocket but options needed before the transfer window shuts, if they want to progress from last year’s ninth-placed finish.

Here’s everything you need to know ahead of the game.
