Ruben Amorim looking to win back-to-back league games

Vidéos OneFootball

A second south coast club visits Old Trafford inside a week as Ruben Amorim looks to record back-to-back Premier League wins for the first time as manager after scrapping past Southampton in midweek. Despite the win, it raises fresh doubts over the squad, which results and performances against Liverpool and Arsenal had looked to eradicate.

United looked set for another humbling home loss, this time to rock bottom Southampton, as they struggled to lay a finger on a team with just one win to their name all season. That was until Amad Diallo popped up with a 12-minute hat-trick, completed in injury-time, to secure a comeback win just days after signing a new long-term contract.

Brighton will prove a far tougher test, though, and head to Old Trafford unbeaten in five and have beaten the likes of Tottenham and Manchester City this season, while taking points off Arsenal. There will be tributes to club legend Denis Law, who passed away on Friday, ahead of the game. Follow the game LIVE below with our dedicated match blog.

Tributes to Denis Law

Sir Alex Ferguson: "He was the best Scottish player of all-time. Denis was a fantastic player. He was an incredible human being."

Brian Kidd: “He scored any type of goal. You name it, Denis scored them type of goals. His leap for such a small, slight person was unbelievable.

“He was superb. The best thing was that he was such a wonderful person.”

That is a fast attack and all gunning to help the experienced Welbeck against his former club.

Hojlund dropped, Yoro starts

So, as expected, Hojlund’s miserable form has caught up with him and he’s been dropped in favour of Zirkzee.

Yoro had a nightmare time against Sulemane last time out but Amorim gives him a show of faith to start him again, with Maguire coming in for Martinez.

Garnacho, amid ongoing transfer speculation, is on the bench.
