Manchester United are still looking for their first points of the Premier League season, and kick off the weekend’s league slate of matches with a trip to Brighton & Hove Albion. After a limp defeat at Crystal Palace on opening weekend, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer made 10 changes to his side in midweek, and was rewarded with a morale-boosting win over Luton Town. Although most of Tuesday’s starters will go no further than the bench this weekend, the sharpness of Marcus Rashford, Mason Greenwood, and Bruno Fernandes off the bench was a welcome sight.

With no real preseason, United are still looking for match fitness and cohesion in their first team. Last weekend may have come too soon for the Reds, but Solskjaer may be able to start with something like a first-choice XI on Saturday. There are no new injuries to report, and the likes of Nemanja Matić and Aaron Wan-Bissaka got some important first minutes of the season under their belts. Interestingly, Solskjaer made special note of Eric Bailly’s return to fitness, suggesting that the Ivorian may take Victor Lindelöf’s place in the team this weekend.
