Man Utd against Brighton – English top flight Match Report
Preamble
Man Utd, having just beaten Sunderland and Liverpool, look to make it three Premier League wins straight in this match. They have momentum under Ruben Amorim for the very first time!
Yet, Brighton are Brighton & Hove Albion, having triumphed in their previous three visits to Old Trafford, winning six from seven fixtures head-to-head.
Never mind the wind behind; Brighton have found very comfortable. Having said all that, the visitors are also as gloriously unpredictable similar to their opponents, therefore the fixture appears competing and maybe highly entertaining.
Start time is 17:30 BST one last mention as the clocks go back this evening, folks. It’s on!

An issue arose this week in practice. Malacia makes the squad on the bench for the first time this season.

Welbeck, ex-United player that lifted the title back in 2013, returns to Old Trafford on a hot streak of four goals in three games, one more than he’d managed over his last 15 matches.
