Erik ten Hag’s starting 11 for Manchester United’s clash with Brighton and Hove Albion has been confirmed.
Tonight, the Red Devils will take on their first away trip of the week when facing the Seagulls at the Amex.
A win would significantly strengthen United’s grip on a top-four finish and would give them a seven-point lead over sixth-placed Liverpool with a game in hand.
How the Reds line-up
Luke Shaw partners Victor Lindelof at centre-back again and Diogo Dalot has been deployed in the Englishman’s absence on the left. Aaron Wan-Bissaka was exceptional at keeping prolific winger Kaoru Mitoma quiet during their last meeting, so hopefully, we can expect the same from him tonight.

Fred is perhaps a surprising addition to the starting line-up, with Christian Eriksen dropping to the bench.
Jadon Sancho will also start the game as a substitute, as Ten Hag has deployed a pairing of Antony and Marcus Rashford on either flank and Anthony Martial leading the line.
