Manchester United return to Premier League action this weekend with growing optimism after a string of strong performances under Ruben Amorim.
The Red Devils secured back-to-back league wins against Sunderland and Liverpool, sparking belief that the team has finally found consistency after a stuttering start to the campaign.
Amorim’s tactical discipline and player rotation have drawn praise as of recent.
With the squad showing improved chemistry and resilience, the upcoming clash against Brighton at Old Trafford has become another key test of progress.
The Seagulls, on the other hand, arrive in impressive form.
They’ve gone unbeaten in their last five matches, including statement victories over Chelsea and Newcastle.
Brighton’s young manager Fabian Hurzeler has drawn attention for his modern, fearless approach and tactical adaptability, earning plaudits across the league for maintaining the club’s trademark attacking identity despite several injuries.
However, the Brighton boss will be forced to make late decisions on several key players before they take on United in what promises to be an intense battle.
Speaking to the media ahead of the Old Trafford trip, Fabian Hurzeler provided a crucial update on his squad’s fitness situation.

He said Diego Gomez is fit and, “able to start,” offering a timely boost for the visitors who had been sweating over the midfielder’s availability.
He also spoke about the status of three other players, who remain in a race against time to prove their fitness.
“Kaoru Mitoma, Brajan Gruda and Joel Veltman are all close,” Hurzeler said.
“But we have to go training to training to see who will be available for tomorrow.”
The comments will undoubtedly catch the attention of United’s coaching staff, who have spent the week preparing for every possible scenario.
With Brighton’s unpredictability and United’s resurgence, Saturday’s meeting could prove pivotal for both sides as they look to strengthen their league positions before heading into the November fixture run.
At Old Trafford, all eyes will be on Amorim’s men to maintain momentum, and ensure that their rise up the table continues against one of the most tactically astute sides in the division.
