Squad Updates

United decided on two adjustments in the wake of last week’s victory against Liverpool. Benjamin Šeško comes in for Mason Mount, now on the substitutes, plus the decisive scorer Harry Maguire doesn’t feature completely, Yoro steps in at the back.

He sustained a knock this week in practice. Malacia returns on the bench this campaign.

Brighton & Hove Albion make one change after their 2-1 home win against the Magpies. Seemingly a tactical shift, swapping in De Cuyper instead of Gómez, who drops to the bench.

The striker, a member of the last Manchester United squad champions in during the 2012-13 season, comes back to Manchester with great momentum of four goals in three games, an improvement on in his previous 15.

Build-Up

The manager pays little heed regarding comments from Arne Slot … but Danny Welbeck is highly concerned about the considerations by the former Chelsea manager.

Various reports suggest this encounter might affect their campaigns in the top flight unfolds.

Star performers are Fernandes from the hosts and the Brighton forward for the visitors, both on song recently.
