Man Utd XI vs Brighton: Expected lineup, confirmed team news and recent injuries
When Manchester United face Brighton this weekend, Rik ten Hag faces a number of tactical and injury-related decisions.
Antony’s highly publicized absence raises a big question on the right wing, as natural replacement Jadon Sancho has clashed with Ten Hag over his impression at training.
After a lively introduction from the bench at Arsenal before the international break, United are expected to have at least Rasmus Hojlund available for his full attacking debut.
Mason Mount is reportedly unlikely to return from a hamstring injury in time for Saturday’s game, while Amad Diallo is also set to miss out with a knee problem.
New signing Sofyan Amrabat is also a doubt after leaving Morocco due to injury.
Ten Hag’s problems can’t be clarified much in defense either. Luke Shaw, Tyrell Malacia and Raphael Varane are not believed to be close to a return at this point, with United also sweating over Lisandro Martinez.
The Argentina defender did not play despite traveling to South America for his country’s World Cup qualifiers as he sustained a foot injury that forced him to play for Arsenal.
Predicted Man Utd XI: Onana; Wan-Bissaka, Lindelof, Martinez, Dalot; Eriksen, Casemiro; Garnacho, Fernandes, Rashford; Hojlund
Injuries: Shaw, Mainoo, Malacia, Varane, Amad, Heaton
Doubt: Amrabat, Martinez, Mt
