Manchester United head out on the road to face Brighton & Hove Albion in the second round of the 2024/25 Premier League on Saturday 24 August.
Erik ten Hag’s side edged past Fulham on opening night 1-0, thanks to Joshua Zirkzee’s debut goal. It was an encouraging result for a team still adjusting after injury concerns and players returning from long breaks after representing their respective countries at Euro 2024 and the Copa America.
Brighton began a new chapter under Fabian Hurzeler with a 3-0 win over 10-man Everton. The Seagulls are no pushovers and have won four of their last six league games against United.

Brighton vs Man Utd lineups, predicted starting XI and team updates
Hurzeler’s start as Brighton manager got off to an ideal start and he could therefore look to keep his team unchanged, although Yankuba Minteh He could miss the match after being substituted due to a head injury on the opening day.
Tariq Lamptey, Pervis Estupinan and Evan Ferguson They returned to training after injuries but were not fit enough to start in the win at Goodison Park. They are unlikely to be rushed back.
Julio Enciso I had a very busy summer playing for Paraguay in the Copa America and the Olympics and I may not be ready yet.
Brighton Predicted (4-2-3-1, Right to Left): Steele (GK) — Veltman, Van Hecke, Dunk Hinshelwood — Milner, Wieffer — Adingra, Mitoma, Pedro — Welbeck.
Wounded: Bart Verbruggen, Solly March, Yankuba Minteh (doubt)
Suspended: None
Ten Hag said his team was not quite ready for the new season, especially the new signings, as Joshua circus and Matthijs Delaware Light Both had to start on the bench. However, both could play in the starting eleven, especially with the striker Rasmus Hojlund Still ruled out.
The Dutch coach was forced to start Noussair Mazraoui after a defensive injury crisis that includes Lucas Shaw, Tyrell Malacia, Leny Yoro and Victor Lindelof.
Scott McTominay He is rumoured to be leaving United before the end of the transfer window and therefore may not be included in the match-day squad. Jadon Sancho He will be hoping to be involved, having sat out the game against Fulham with an ear infection earlier in the week.
Manchester United Prediction (4-3-3, Right to Left): Onana (GK) – Mazraoui, De Ligt, Marinez, Dalot – Casemiro, Mainoo, Fernandes – Amad Diallo, Rashford, Zirkzee.
Wounded: Luke Shaw, Leny Yoro, Tyrell Malacia, Victor Lindelof, Rasmus Hojlund
Suspended: None
