Manchester United vs Brighton confirmed line-ups: Team news ahead of Premier League fixture today
Erik ten Hag takes charge of his first Premier League game as he leads his Manchester United team out on Sunday, hosting Brighton and Hove Albion.
Cristiano Ronaldo could be forced to make a quicker than expected return to the lineup after missing much of preseason, due to Anthony Martial’s injury.
United have not brought any forwards in this summer and the waiting game for Frenkie de Jong has so far not paid dividends.
Brighton sold key wing-back Marc Cucurella to Chelsea just before the weekend and have again not added a goalscoring No9 to the squad, a familiar issue for them last year.
They did humiliate United 4-0 at the back end of last season, but it will be a tall order to get anywhere near replicating that.
Here’s everything you need to know ahead of the game.

Prediction
Man United players have a whole lot of reasons to find a big performance and a result in this season opener, and not just because of the new manager. Last season’s dismal defeat should still sting enough to force a reaction. United 2-1 Brighton.
