When high-flying Brighton visits Manchester United on Saturday, they hope to get back on track.

On the first day of the 2022–23 season, Brighton defeated Manchester United at Old Trafford, giving Erik ten Hag his first loss in the Theatre of Dreams.

Ten Hag will want retribution because, more than a year later, that defeat is still the only home league defeat he has experienced during his tenure.

His prospects of exacting revenge won’t be aided by Brighton’s ten-fold improvement since that Old Trafford match.

A loss after the week United has had would be disastrous, but encouraging injury updates have raised expectations once again to unimaginable heights.

Manchester United’s expected lineup vs BrightonHere is how we anticipate Manchester United to lineup when they face Brighton at Old Trafford, taking into account all the variables.With Altay Bayindir on the bench, Andre Onana will start in goal in the hopes of recording his second clean sheet of the year.The full-backs should continue to be Aaron Wan-Bissaka on the right and Diogo Dalot on the left, as they did against Arsenal. The bench will once more include Sergio Regulion.Victor Lindelof and Lisandro Martinez were both sidelined from the match against Arsenal due to concerns, but they are now both likely to start. Harry Maguire will have to be content with a bench position.As Sofyan Amrabat’s injury status is now public, we anticipate that Ten Hag will start with his tried-and-true three of Casemiro, Christian Eriksen, and Bruno Fernandes before any of them. Marcus Rashford, who scored his first goal of the year against Arsenal, will stay on the left wing. Given the absence of Jadon Sancho and Antony on the right, Facundo Pellistri should automatically occupy the position.Rasmus Hojlund, a powerful Danish forward, is taking the field up front for the first time, and what a game to do it.Predicted XI vs Brighton: Onana; Wan-Bissaka, Lindelof, Martinez, Dalot; Casemiro, Eriksen; Pellistri, Bruno, Rashford; Hojlund
