Introduction
The Red Devils, having just beaten Liverpool and Sunderland, are targeting a trio of victories straight this evening. Confidence is high managed by Ruben Amorim for the very first time!
Only problem is, the opposing team are the Seagulls, who have won in their previous three visits to Old Trafford, and six of the last seven fixtures head-to-head.
Despite United’s form; it’s been straightforward very comfortable. Nevertheless, the visitors are also consistently inconsistent like United, making this match competing and maybe highly entertaining.

Squad Updates
Manchester United make two adjustments after the Anfield triumph at Anfield last weekend. Šeško starts instead of Mount, now on the substitutes, and the match-winner Maguire misses out entirely, Leny Yoro taking his place in defense.
He sustained a knock this week in practice. Malacia makes the squad on the bench in 2025-26.
The Seagulls opted for one change post-success against versus Newcastle. Seemingly a tactical shift, bringing in Maxim De Cuyper for Diego Gómez, now among the subs.
Welbeck, a member of the last Manchester United squad champions in during the 2012-13 season, visits his old club in fine form with four recent goals, an improvement on over his last 15 matches.
Build-Up
Ruben Amorim doesn’t much care about the views of the Reds’ manager … but Danny Welbeck is highly concerned regarding the plans by the former Chelsea manager.
Analysts have noted the fixture could have implications their campaigns in the top flight continues.
Key players to watch feature the captain for United and the Brighton forward in blue and white, each performing well in recent weeks.
