Squad Updates
Manchester United make two changes following last week’s victory against Liverpool. Šeško starts instead of Mount, now on the substitutes, plus the decisive scorer Harry Maguire doesn’t feature at all, Leny Yoro taking his place in defence.
He sustained a knock during training this week. Malacia returns among the substitutes this campaign.
Brighton have made one change after their 2-1 home win versus Newcastle. Likely a defensive move, including De Cuyper replacing Gómez, who drops to the bench.
The striker, a member of the last Manchester United squad that lifted the title in 2012-13, returns to Old Trafford with great momentum scoring four in three, an improvement on over his last 15 matches.
Build-Up
The manager pays little heed for the opinions of Arne Slot … while Welbeck is focused about the considerations by the former Chelsea manager.
It is widely discussed this encounter could have implications for both teams’ seasons as the Premier League continues.
Ones to watch feature Fernandes for United and Danny Welbeck from the away side, each performing well lately.
