Brighton vs Manchester United! August 24th, 12:30pm ( UK). Join us as we learn more about the match between Brighton and Manchester United!

The Seagulls takes on the Red Devils at the Amex Stadium on the 24th of August, 12:30pm (UK).

However, Brighton is coming off a 3-0 win against Everton, while Manchester United won by a lone goal against Fulham courtesy of Josh Zirzkee late winner.

Let’s get into their stats, h2h, trends, team news, and predictions.

Brighton vs Man United Team News

After losing Graham Potter to Chelsea, and Roberto De Zerbi mutually agreeing to resign from his role as Manager.

Brighton is currently managed by Fabian Hurzeler, 31 years, the youngest permanent coach in Premier league history.

Brighton have also been busy in the transfer market signing the likes of;

MattO’Riley from Celtic, Cankovic, Yakubu Minteh, Mahmoud Dahoud, with the likes of Adam Lallana and Ansu Fati exiting the team.

Though, the team is quite stacked as they look to finish higher than they did last season where they ended in the 11th place.

Brighton’s manager, Fabian Hurzeler in his press conference ahead of the Manchester United game said;

” They have individual quality on the pitch, so you never can lose your attention on the game because they can decide a game in one situation”.

” Even if they are not really in the game, they have quality with Fernandes, Rashford, Garnacho.

“However, there can be one situation where they can kill the game”.

“We focus all the time on the game, especially on transition moments, that we have a good position and a good distance to each other.

Then in case we lose the ball we are there stopping their transition moments.”

Although, Evan Ferguson, Perivs Estupinan, and Tariq Lamptey are all back from injury, they still need to undergo further assessment.

Manchester United, after failing to get a new manager, had to stick with Erik Ten Hag as the Gaffer extended his stay at the club till 2026.

Manchester United had notable additions with the likes of Josh Zirzkee, Lemy Yoro, Matthias De Ligt, Noussair Mazaroui, and Jadon Sancho returning from his loan deal at Dortmund.

There were also few exits with Mason Greenwood, Aaron Wan Bissaka, Donny Ban De Beek, Amarabt leaving the team.

Manchester United boss, Erik Ten Hag, spoke ahead of the game against Fulham saying; “His team isn’t fully prepared for the new season”.

This was evident as the team lacked rhythm and flow against Fulham, and had their blushes saved by Josh Zirkee late winning goal.

Erik Ten Hag’s speaking again during the press conference ahead of the Brighton game:

” I think for all the clubs who also have lots of international players, playing for their nations, they are all in the same boat.

There are clubs who have less internationals and they would have a longer pre-season together as a team and as a squad. So they are maybe a little further ahead in terms of game model and fitness”.

It’s clear that Erik Ten Hag believes that his team aren’t in their best shape yet. Well, the clock is ticking!
