Manchester United visit Brighton & Hove Albion in the second round of the Premier League season on August 24th, with both teams looking to build on winning starts. United edged Fulham 1-0 with a late goal from Joshua Zirkzee, but face a tougher challenge against Brighton, who convincingly defeated Everton 3-0 under new manager Fabian Hurzeler. United will be without several key players, including Luke Shaw and Rasmus Hojlund, while Brighton also have injury concerns but are buoyed by recent signings. Historically, United have struggled against Brighton, losing four of their last six league encounters. This match is pivotal as both sides aim to establish early momentum in the league.
