The Red Devils kicked off their Premier League campaign with a late victory over Fulham, substitute and new summer signing Joshua Zirkzee netting the only goal in a 1-0 win. It wasn't a hugely convincing performance from Erik ten Hag's side and they will have to improve for their journey down south this weekend.

Brighton got off to the dream start on new manager Fabian Hurzeler's debut. The Seagulls put three unanswered goals past Everton at Goodison Park, with new recruits sparkling on Merseyside. They will be hoping to continue their impressive recent record against United, even if they did taste defeat in the most recent meeting.

Brighton team news

Brighton are without a number of players for Man Utd's visit but new signing Yankuba Minteh should be available despite suffering a head injury at Goodison Park.

Bart Verburggen is still absent so Jason Steele will start once more and Solly March is yet to recover from his long-term knee injury. Julio Enciso is also likely to miss out with a knee injury suffered on international duty this summer.

Tariq Lamptey could feature despite speculation over a summer move and both Pervis Estupinan and Evan Ferguson are closing in on returns after long-term injuries. It remains to be seen whether they will be cleared to face Man Utd.

Brighton predicted lineup vs Man Utd

Brighton predicted lineup vs Man Utd (4-2-3-1): Steele; Veltman, Van Hecke, Dunk, Hinshelwood; Milner, Wieffer; Minteh, Pedro, Mitoma, Welbeck.

Man Utd team news

Four United players are certain to miss the trip to the Amex Stadium, with Leny Yoro, Tyrell Malacia and Luke Shaw unavailable in defence. The latter has suffered yet another injury after making his return at Euro 2024, sidelining him until after the September international break.

Rasmus Hojlund is still absent after picking up a hamstring injury in pre-season against Arsenal and Zirkzee may be handed a spot up top given his heroics against Fulham on matchday one.

Victor Lindelof is a doubt for Saturday's clash but could feature in some capacity, while Jadon Sancho's future remains unclear. He was omitted from the Fulham squad but Ten Hag has since stated that this was due to an ear infection.

Man Utd predicted lineup vs Brighton (4-2-3-1): Onana; Mazraoui, De Ligt, Martinez, Dalot; Casemiro, Mainoo; Garnacho, Fernandes, Rashford; Zirkzee.

Man Utd struggled to get out of second gear against Fulham but they should only get stronger as the weeks progress and their new signings settle. However, they have struggled against Brighton in recent fixtures and may have similar issues up against Hurzeler's men.

Brighton were exceptional in pre-season and made light work of Everton on the road in their first competitive outing of the campaign. Some clever summer transfers and a positive atmosphere surrounding the south coast side may see them earn a draw against the Red Devils.Orlando City SC have announced the contract extension of forward Duncan McGuire, seeing the forward commit his future to club through 2027, with an option for 2028.

The US international has had a meteoric rise since Orlando selected him No. 6 overall in the 2023 MLS SuperDraft, and even found himself embroiled in a transfer saga for the ages with English club Blackburn Rovers last summer.

McGuire has 20 goals and 5 assistantships s in 48 appearances for Orlando City, earning him a call to represent the United States at the 2024 Olympic Games.

"We are incredibly happy to have signed Duncan to a new contract and for his desire to stay here with us in Orlando," Orlando General Manager Luiz Muzzi said.

McGuire is currently on pace for back-to-back seasons with double-digit goals for Orlando as they look to wrap up an MLS Cup Playoffs berth in the coming weeks.
