Manchester United will look to return to winning ways in the Premier League when they welcome Brighton & Hove Albion to Old Trafford on Tuesday with kickoff at 11:15 pm.
Manchester United, who remain in fifth place in the Premier League table, will enter Monday’s match against Brighton & Hove Albion off the back of a 1-1 draw with Southampton on Saturday. Brighton, who sit ninth in the table and one point behind Manchester United, recorded a 2-0 victory over Watford on the same day.
On Saturday, Manchester United were held to a 1-1 draw by Southampton, with Jadon Sancho scoring for the Red Devils in the first half and Che Adams equalizing for the Saints in the early stages of the second period.
It’s now two league draws for the Red Devils who sit fifth in the table, just one point behind fourth-placed West Ham, who drew with Leicester City yesterday.
