Mainoo starts, Lacey decision: Manchester United predicted line up vs Brighton as 'next Neymar' could feature

The 41-year-old began his tenure with a 2-2 draw against Burnley in midweek in which he changed formation to a more familiar 4-2-3-1 approach. Fletcher is expected to deploy a similar set-up against Brighton this weekend and could freshen up his side with a few changes.

United welcomed back Bruno Fernandes, Mason Mount, Kobbie Mainoo and Harry Maguire from injury for the Burnley draw, while Shea Lacey also impressed from the bench. It has even been suggested that 15-year-old sensation JJ Gabriel could be named in the matchday squad, with him eligible to feature in FA Cup competition.

Here is how we think United will line up when they face Brighton at Old Trafford.
