Manchester United welcome Brighton & Hove Albion to Old Trafford on Sunday, aiming to secure back-to-back Premier League wins after Thursday's dramatic 3-1 victory over Southampton. Meanwhile, Brighton arrive in good form following a 2-0 win at Ipswich Town.
United's midweek triumph came thanks to a stunning performance from Amad Diallo, who became the second-youngest player in the club's history to score a Premier League hat-trick, behind only Wayne Rooney. Diallo's late heroics turned the game around after Manuel Ugarte's own goal had put Southampton on the brink of a famous upset.
Despite their poor first-half showing, Ivan Juric's side moved up to 12th in the table, narrowing the gap to the top six. A win on Sunday would mark three consecutive victories across all competitions for the first time since Ruben Amorim's appointment.
United's inconsistent performances remain a concern, but another strong showing against Brighton could signal a turning point in their season.
