United beat Fulham thanks to Joshua Zirkzee’s late goal, while Brighton beat Everton with a convincing 3-0 win at Goodison Park.
Brighton vs. Man United: Preview
Brighton has shown exceptional performance under the guidance of their new head coach, Fabian Hurzeler. The team got off to an excellent start in the 2024-25 season, securing an impressive 3-0 win against a 10-man Everton side last weekend. In the first half, Kaoru Mitoma managed to find the back of the net, setting the pace for an exciting match. Danny Welbeck and Simon Adingra both scored to make matters worse for Everton. The Seagulls might have won 4-0 if Yasin Ayari hadn’t been offside by a yard before tapping in from close range.
Manchester United secured a hard-fought 1-0 victory over Fulham in their first Premier League game of the season. United left it late, but their perseverance paid off as they claimed all three points in a slender victory. After a slow start, summer signing Joshua Zirkzee helped the Red Devils get their win. He entered the game as a substitute and scored the winning goal just three minutes before the end of the match.
Solly March, Julio Enciso, Bart Verbruggen, and Igor Julio, are currently sidelined due to injury. Evan Ferguson, Pervis Estupinan, and Tariq Lamptey have all participated in training and will be evaluated before the match. Hurzeler has confirmed that Yankuba Minteh is fit and ready for selection, despite his early exit during his debut against Everton last weekend. Minteh had to undergo concussion protocols, but he is now cleared to play. Adingra is ready and waiting to step in on the right flank if necessary. Georginio Rutter, Brighton’s £40m club-record signing, could potentially make his debut for the team against Man United. On the other hand, Valentin Barco is close to completing a loan move to Sevilla.
For Man United, Luke Shaw, Tyrell Malacia, Victor Lindelof, Leny Yoro, and Rasmus Hojlund are all still unable to play due to injuries. The back four of Diogo Dalot, Lisandro Martinez, Harry Maguire, and Noussair Mazraoui that maintained a clean sheet against Fulham may be Ten Hag’s preferred starting lineup. However, Maguire will likely lose out to new signing Matthijs de Ligt.
Zirkzee will probably start against Brighton as a reward for his first goal for Man United against Fulham. This would mean Bruno Fernandes would move to his preferred position as a number 10, while Mason Mount would find himself on the substitutes’ bench. Meanwhile, Alejandro Garnacho may be chosen to start on either flank, potentially ahead of Amad Diallo or Marcus Rashford.
