Why is Man Utd vs Brighton not on TV in UK? How to watch Premier League match
Share:
Manchester United are looking to kick on from a last-minute win over Southampton as they welcome Brighton to Old Trafford. Ruben Amorim's side were minutes away from another embarrassing defeat on Thursday, after a Manuel Ugarte own goal handed Southampton the lead until the 82nd minute of the game. Thanks to a dazzling 12-minute hat-trick from Amad, United secured the three points and moved up to 12th on Thursday night in the Premier League table.
The Red Devils have had a mixed start under new boss Amorim, with wins against Manchester City and Everton highlighting an otherwise torrid campaign. The United squad will be determined to put things right and turn Old Trafford into a fortress again, but fans will be hoping for a more comprehensive win than last week.
Meanwhile, Brighton continued their six-game streak without a loss after they defeated Ipswich Town on Thursday, with second-half goals from Karou Mitoma and Georginio Rutter. This puts the Seagulls well in the hunt for a European spot in the table. Brighton have been quietly climbing under Fabian Hürzeler, after the German became the youngest permanent head coach in the league back in June 2024. Wins against City, Newcastle United and Tottenham Hotspur have spurred their charge for Europe, but a win over United could allow them to climb further up the table before a difficult away game at Nottingham Forest.
