It is a match that promises to be an interesting watch as fans would be eager to see how the new coach, Erik ten Hag performs in his first competitive match in charge of the team.
Fans are also eager to see the new signings in action.
As predicted by Manchester Evening News, let’s take a look at how Man United could line up against Brighton on Sunday.
Man United are expected to go with a 4-3-3 formation against Brighton.
In defence, Harry Maguire is expected to start as the team captain alongside new signing, Lisandro Martinez.
Diogo Dalot is expected to start as right-back, while Malacia is expected to start on the left.
In midfield, Fred is expected to be handed a starting position, being the team’s best defensive midfielder.
Scott McTominay is expected to start in central midfield alongside Bruno Fernandes. This means Christian Eriksen will likely be benched.
In the attack, Jadon Sancho will probably start on the right wing. Marcus Rashford is expected to start on the left.
Despite undergoing little training with the team, Cristiano Ronaldo will likely start up front as the central striker.
This is because Man United are yet to sign a forward this summer, so their attacking options are quite thin.
Here is Manchester United’s predicted line-up (4-3-3): De Gea; Dalot, Maguire (captain), Martinez, Malacia; McTominay, Fred; Sancho, Fernandes, Rashford; Ronaldo.
