Man Utd v Brighton & Hove Albion – English top flight Updates
Match Preview
Man Utd, after defeating Sunderland and Liverpool, look to make it three consecutive successes on the bounce in this match. The wind’s behind them managed by Ruben Amorim currently!
However, their visitors tonight are the Seagulls, with victories in their previous three visits at the Theatre of Dreams, and six of the last seven encounters between the clubs.
Forget the momentum; it’s been straightforward it’s been a breeze. Having said all that, Brighton themselves remain famously erratic like United, so this game is competing and maybe thrilling to watch.

Danny Welbeck, ex-United player to win the Premier League back in 2013, returns to Old Trafford on a hot streak scoring four in three, exceeding his tally from 15 prior games.
