Our confirmed MUFC XI for our 2024/25 Premier League away game vs Brighton is now in…
Manchester United Football Club are looking to make it two wins from two to kick off their Premier League campaign, though doing so against a tough Brighton side will not be easy.
The Red Devils have lost five of their last six against the South Coast club, so Erik ten Hag could have revenge on the mind here. This is a true test for a United team who are looking to show they have made serious strides over the last few months.
Suddenly, it feels like United have depth in key positions. Will Matthijs de Ligt come in? Did Amad do enough to stave off fierce competition from Alejandro Garnacho? Will Joshua Zirkzee make his full debut?
Well, all those questions have now been answered, with the confirmed team news now in.

Andre Onana starts in between the sticks, with the man from Cameroon hoping to improve on his kicking game here.
Noussair Mazraoui was excellent last week and I’m keen to see the right-back play again. Diogo Dalot gets the nod over on the left-hand side of defence. Lisandro Martinez and Harry Maguire played well last week. Both deserve the start here.
Casemiro has been playing his best football over the last two weeks, with Kobbie Mainoo sitting in midfield alongside the Brazilian. Mason Mount will be tasked with bringing the energy.
Bruno Fernandes starts in the false nine spot here, with Amad and Marcus Rashford on his right and left respectively.
