Man Utd v Brighton & Hove Albion – Premier League Match Report
Preamble
Man Utd, having just beaten Liverpool and Sunderland, are targeting a trio of victories on the bounce this evening. They have momentum managed by Ruben Amorim currently!
However, their visitors tonight are the Seagulls, having triumphed on each of their last three trips to Old Trafford, winning six from seven League meetings head-to-head.
Never mind the wind behind; Brighton have found it’s been a breeze. Having said all that, Brighton themselves remain as gloriously unpredictable similar to their opponents, therefore the fixture appears intriguing and possibly thrilling to watch.
