Manchester United vs Brighton Preview, Team News, Who Will Win?

Manchester United will be looking to get back to winning ways when they clash with Brighton in the premier league on Saturday.

Jose Mourinho’s side have won three and lost two of their last five games in all competitions, and the Portuguese tactician will be fully expecting to earn all three points at Old Trafford.

Newly-promoted side Brighton have been impressive in recent times in the English top flight, and are currently undefeated in five games.

Although they have conceded 13 goals already in the premier league, they currently sit ninth on the table and aren’t looking like a side that can be intimidated easily.

Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho is currently feeling the pressure at the club, but is happy to welcome back some of his top stars from injury.

Swede legend Zlatan Ibrahimovic is now better, and he was able to participate in his side’s last two games against Newcastle United and FC Basel.

The former Barcelona striker is likely to get his first start of the season against Chris Hughton’s side tomorrow, as manager Jose Mourinho is expected to use a formation that will accommodate both Zlatan and Lukaku.

However, the manager won’t have the trio of Phil Jones, Eric Bailly and Michael Carrick available for the game on Saturday due to injuries.

For Brighton on the other hand, only Steve Sidwell is ruled out.

Despite all these, Man United are still favourite to win the game tomorrow at Old Trafford.
