Sure, winning at Anfield was cool, but this is the real test for Manchester United.
Since the start of the 2021–22 season, there’s no opponent in the Premier League that the Red Devils average fewer points against per match than Brighton & Hove Albion (0.8, equal with Manchester City).
Brighton have won on their previous three visits to Old Trafford, and United have lost four of the last five meetings. For some, victory on Saturday evening will be a true sign of progress for Ruben Amorim after he oversaw back-to-back league wins for the first time since taking the job last week.
The manager’s direct approach predicated on winning the second ball proved a success at Anfield, and it’ll be interesting to see how he plans to finally get one over the Seagulls this weekend.
Here’s how United could line up for Brighton’s upcoming visit to the Theatre of Dreams.
