Man Utd v Brighton – English top flight Live Coverage
Preamble
Manchester United, having just beaten Liverpool and Sunderland, aim for three consecutive successes on the bounce tonight. Confidence is high managed by Ruben Amorim for the very first time!
However, their visitors tonight come from the south coast, who have won on each of their last three trips to Old Trafford, and six of the last seven encounters head-to-head.
Forget the momentum; it’s been straightforward relatively easy. Nevertheless, Brighton themselves remain as gloriously unpredictable similar to their opponents, so this game is competing and maybe thrilling to watch.
Kick-off is at 17:30 BST a final reminder for now because remember the clocks fall back tonight, everyone. Let’s go!

Selection Changes
United decided on two changes in the wake of last week’s victory away to Liverpool. Šeško is selected for Mason Mount, now on the substitutes, plus the decisive scorer Maguire is absent completely, Yoro replaces him in defense.
He sustained a knock in midweek sessions. Tyrell Malacia is named among the substitutes in 2025-26.
The Seagulls opted for one change post-success against against the Magpies. Seemingly a tactical shift, including Maxim De Cuyper replacing Gómez, now among the subs.
Danny Welbeck, a member of the last Manchester United squad to win the Premier League back in 2013, comes back to Manchester with great momentum scoring four in three, one more than he’d managed in his previous 15.
Build-Up
Amorim is unfazed regarding comments from Liverpool’s boss … but Danny Welbeck is highly concerned about the considerations by the former Chelsea manager.
It is widely discussed that this match may influence their campaigns during the league campaign progresses.
Key players to watch are the captain from the hosts and Danny Welbeck in blue and white, both on song in recent weeks.
