Brighton & Hove Albion vs Manchester United Predicted lineup, betting tips, odds, injury news, H2H, telecast | Premier League 2024-25
Matches between Seagulls and Red Devils have always been entertaining to watch.
Brighton & Hove Albion remain one of the teams to watch out for the new season after a strong pre-season showing under their new boss Fabian Hürzeler who has introduced a new blend of attacking football to the side.
He has gained a growing reputation for being one of the best young managers in world football and is the youngest manager to take charge of a Premier League this season. Under him, the Seagulls have made a brilliant start to the season after registering an impressive away win over Everton to begin the season.
Manchester United have hit the ground running with a narrow win over Fulham in the opening weekend to begin the new season on a positive note. Despite being far from convincing, Erik ten Hag will still take the win as all that matters is the three points.
It will also be a pleasing win for the United Hierarchy as their recruit scored the winner which erupted the Old Trafford fans with delight. However, the real test will be for them here with an away match against one of the best attacking sides in the division. Nevertheless, with the level of signings they have made this season, one could back them to emerge victorious from here.

Players to Watch
Kaoru Mitoma (Brighton & Hove Albion)
What a sigh of relief it has been to welcome their talisman back to fitness after enduring a tough season due to injury which ruled him out for the second of the campaign. Despite this, Kaoru Mitoma finished the season with three goals and five assists and he has started the new season brilliantly by opening his account against Everton in the opening weekend. With the Manchester United defence far from convincing, his pace and trickery can be a potent threat for the Seagulls in this match.
Alejandro Garnacho (Manchester United)
The Argentinian international has started the new season where he left off last term after scoring one goal against rivals Manchester City and setting up the winner for Joshua Zirkzee on the opening weekend of the new season. He is in the form of his life after finishing the last season with ten goals and five assists.
He is arguably among the most talented players on the team at the moment who can win matches with his brilliance. His frightening pace and brilliant dribbling skills make him a potent weapon for the Red Devils again this season.
