Manchester United’s off-the-field affairs have clouded them and they must look past those distractions when they welcome the Seagulls to the Theater of Dreams at the weekend.
Manchester United’s off-the-field affairs have clouded them and they must look past those distractions when they welcome the Seagulls to the Theater of Dreams at the weekend.
The ongoing investigation into Antony, the Jadon Sancho situation and the club’s takeover process in limbo have severely dampened the good mood at the club.
The fact that United lost 3-1 to Arsenal in somewhat heartbreaking fashion before the international break certainly didn’t help matters.
As such, they are in desperate need of a win right now and Erik the Hag wouldn’t want to imagine losing to the Seagulls at Old Trafford on Saturday.
United have won both of their home games so far, but neither the 1-0 win over Wolves nor the 3-2 win over Nottingham Forest came in convincing fashion.
Brighton & Hove Albion, meanwhile, have enjoyed a strong start to the new season. Apart from a 3-1 loss to West Ham United on August 26, the Seagulls have been exceptionally successful, picking up three wins and have the best attacking record in the league (12 goals).
Brighton were also the top scorers away from home in the Premier League last season, scoring 35 times in opposition territory. Roberto de Zerbi’s side play an aggressive and attractive style of football and are expected to take on a shaken Manchester United this Saturday.
