The Red Devils, after defeating Sunderland and Liverpool, are targeting a trio of victories in a row in this match. The wind’s behind them managed by Ruben Amorim currently!
Only problem is, the opposing team are Brighton & Hove Albion, who have won on each of their last three trips to Old Trafford, plus six out of seven encounters in this rivalry.
Despite United’s form; it’s been straightforward relatively easy. Having said all that, Brighton are otherwise consistently inconsistent similar to their opponents, therefore the fixture appears intriguing and possibly rollickingly good entertainment.
Kick-off is at 17:30 BST and we say this for the last time in a while because remember the clocks fall back tonight, kids. It’s on!
