Man Utd vs Brighton: Team Analyses

Man Utd have had a rocky campaign so far, with changes in managers and changes in their style of play. After Ruben Amorim has taken over, there have been a few flashes of genius but the fans are still waiting for a turn of the tables. 

In their recent encounter with Southampton, although Saints took the lead, Man Utd prevailed in the second half and secured a victory. Amorim’s high-pressing football philosophy will be tested in the upcoming match as fans eagerly await to see if they can pull off back-to-back wins.

Brighton, on the other hand, has had quite a pleasant campaign so far. Fabian Hürzeler’s tactical philosophy has helped boost the team to the 9th position on the table. In their recent clash against Ipswich, the Seagulls enjoyed a 2-0 away victory after an action-packed second half. Their possession-centric play will be tested in the upcoming fixture as they prepare for another away game.
