Erik ten Hag has named his starting line-up for Manchester United's Premier League tussle with Brighton & Hove Albion at Old Trafford this afternoon, making a cluster of changes.
United, who have lost each of their last three league meetings with the Seagulls, will be looking to get back to winning ways after being beaten 3-1 by Arsenal prior to the international break. Despite taking the lead through Marcus Rashford, the Reds were sentenced to defeat as a result of goals from Martin Odegaard, Declan Rice and Gabriel Jesus.
