Old Trafford hosts a fascinating clash between two sides heading in different directions. Manchester United are on a small resurgence under Rúben Amorim after consecutive league wins against Sunderland and Liverpool, while Brighton arrive looking to extend their remarkable record in this fixture. The Seagulls have beaten United in six of their last seven league meetings and have won three straight at Old Trafford, a feat not matched by any club since Manchester City in the early 1970s. Momentum, history and pressure all collide here.
Manchester United are finally stringing results together under Rúben Amorim. After a 2–0 win against Sunderland and a 2–1 win against Liverpool, United have recorded back-to-back Premier League victories for the first time under their new manager. They last managed three consecutive wins in May and August 2024, and the last time they achieved three within the same season was in February that year.
Form at Old Trafford has noticeably improved. United have won their last three Premier League home matches, matching the total from their previous 13 combined. The mood in Manchester is shifting, with Amorim’s side looking more organised and confident in front of their own supporters.
Brighton, however, have been United’s bogey team. The Seagulls have won six of the last seven league meetings between the sides, double the amount United lost in their first 17 encounters. Brighton have also claimed victory on each of their last three Premier League visits to Old Trafford, something no other side has done since Manchester City won five in a row there between 1968 and 1972.
While Brighton’s recent form has been mixed, they consistently raise their level in this fixture. United’s challenge will be breaking that pattern while maintaining their own momentum at home.
Scoreline: Manchester United 2–1 Brighton
Confidence: High
United’s home record and recent improvement under Amorim suggest they can edge a competitive contest, although Brighton’s strong head-to-head history makes this far from straightforward.
