Manchester United vs Brighton – LIVE!
Manchester United host Brighton at Old Trafford in the Premier League today in dire need of a win. After such a promising time of things last season, Erik ten Hag’s team have struggled to convince since the summer break, losing to both Arsenal and Tottenham while being unconvincing in victories over Wolves and Nottingham Forest.
Few would doubt Roberto De Zerbi’s Seagulls will offer a stern test. Victors at the Theatre of Dreams last season, they have only got stronger since the Italian replaced Graham Potter and remain capable of beating any one on their day. It’s now getting to the point where a win in Manchester would not be considered a shock.
Jadon Sancho is the latest headache for Ten Hag to deal with as the England international trains away from the first-team, with the Dutchman needing a statement victory to lift some of the pressure. Follow all the action with Standard Sport’s dedicated match blog!
Defensive issues
United’s defensive frailties in the dying embers of matches cost them last season, and has continued to do so again this year. United have conceded 28% of all goals in the final 15 minutes of matches since the start of last season, having conceded 3 goals in 4 Premier League matches after the 75 minute mark already this season and 11 times last season in the same period. A reminder Brighton have scored more goals (3) than anyone else in the final 15 minutes of games.
