Manchester United will face Brighton in the Premier League match-day 5 tie at Old Trafford on Saturday evening. The team is currently in the 11th position on the Premier League table with 6 points from four matches, while Brighton are 6th with 9 points from the same number of matches.
Both teams have met 15 times in the past, with Man United winning 9, losing 5, and drawing 1 against the Seagulls.
Man United will be without winger Jadon Sancho for the Brighton clash due to his ban from training following his social media outburst towards his manager Erik ten Hag. New recruit Sofyan Amrabat is doubtful with a back problem, but Man United hopes to have the Moroccan available to face Brighton.
Marcus Rashford is set to continue on his favoured left wing, with either Rasmus Hojlund or Anthony Martial leading the line. Brighton are also concerned about the fitness of Evan Ferguson, who withdrew from the Republic of Ireland squad due to a knee injury. New recruits Ansu Fati and Carlos Baleba are in contention to make their Brighton debuts at Old Trafford.

Joel Veltman will try to fend off competition from James Milner for a start at right-back, while Adam Webster is looking to start in central defence ahead of Jan Paul van Hecke. Brighton manager Roberto De Zerbi will ponder whether to stick with Bart Verbruggen in goal or recall Jason Steele between the sticks.
