Man Utd thought they’d claimed a famous win at the Emirates Stadium when Alejandro Garnacho raced through on goal and slotted beyond Arsenal keeper Aaron Ramsdale. But the strike was ruled out by VAR, and just minutes later, it was the Gunners who had the ball in the net and claimed the victory in injury time. It was a sobering defeat for Erik ten Hag’s men and left Man Utd with an underwhelming two wins and two defeats from their first four games of the season. A response will be required against Brighton to avoid further uncomfortable questions. 

High-flyers Brighton are perhaps not the opposition that Man Utd want to face next. Prior to the international break, the Seagulls made a very good Newcastle side look utterly ordinary at the AMEX Stadium. Young forward Evan Ferguson scored an impressive hattrick, and the 3-1 result actually flattered the visitors. Brighton should have scored more. Brighton are currently in sixth place and will be looking to solidify their spot in the upper echelon of the Premier League table with a win over Man Utd. 

Brighton did the double over Man Utd last season, winning both home and away, and are on a streak of three EPL wins in a row against the historic club, can the Seagulls extend that record or will Man Utd bounce back from their disappointing defeat last time out? You’ll need to watch a Man Utd vs Brighton live stream to find out, and we’ve all the details you need down below.
