In the recent midweek match, Ruben Amorim's Manchester United just managed to pull off a win against Southampton. The team is now aiming for their third consecutive victory in all competitions as they prepare to face Brighton in the Premier League today.
After putting up a strong fight against Liverpool and Arsenal, Amorim's squad showed their resilience by coming from behind to secure a late win against Southampton. However, their performance in that game was not up to the mark and they had to face a quick turnaround before today's clash against Brighton, who are currently unbeaten in their last six matches in all competitions. Excitement is brewing as fans eagerly await this highly anticipated match.
For those wondering, Man Utd vs Brighton will unfortunately not be televised in the UK today. The game will kick off at 2pm. However, fans can still catch the action through live streaming options.
In terms of team news, Manchester United is pleased to welcome back Diogo Dalot, who was suspended for the previous game against Southampton. The Portuguese defender was red-carded in the FA Cup match against Arsenal, but is now set to return as the left wing-back, a position he has consistently held in every league game under Amorim. His comeback will allow Noussair Mazraoui to move back to the right side and the in-form Amad Diallo to take on a more advanced role, replacing Alejandro Garnacho.
Despite Amad's commendable performances, young centre-back Leny Yoro struggled to contain Southampton's lively winger Kamaldeen Sulemana on the left flank. As a result, it is likely that the Frenchman will be relieved of his duties in the upcoming match, with first-choice defender Harry Maguire expected to make a comeback after being rested in the midweek game.
Fans can expect to see Victor Lindelof and Luke Shaw still sidelined due to long-term injuries, while Jonny Evans is also expected to miss out on the match due to a muscle injury. The absence of midfielder Mason Mount, who is still recovering from his latest injury setback, is also a blow for the team.
Despite their lackluster performance in the last game, Kobbie Mainoo and Manuel Ugarte could still be given the chance to redeem themselves against Brighton. Amorim may also opt to start Joshua Zirkzee, who made a bright appearance off the bench in the previous game, as the lead striker. Rasmus Hojlund, who had a tough time in the first half against Southampton, may be replaced in the starting lineup.
Here is our predicted XI for Manchester United against Brighton: Onana, De Ligt, Maguire, Martinez, Mazraoui, Ugarte, Mainoo, Dalot, Amad, Fernandes, Zirkzee. We can't wait to see how Amorim's team will perform in this exciting match!
