Sign up for the Man United newsletter Thank you! Losing to Manchester City is bad enough as the United boss, but the manner in which his side were utterly toothless despite playing over 70 minutes against ten men is rather worrying. They’d scored 11 goals in the three games prior and it looked as though they’d overcome their opening day horror show at Hull. But Sunday’s display has put Carrick under the spotlight and he needs a result and progression in the cup here. The Seagulls make the trip north in fine spirits themselves after seven points from their opening four games of the season and securing European group stage football, which begins next month. Sunday’s 5-0 thumping win at Coventry could’ve been any scoreline as they picked apart the league’s new boys, which ended a wait for a Premier League away win. And this is a venue they absolutely love having incredibly won on four of their last five visits to Old Trafford, while trailing 3-2 with minutes to go in the other game before a late goal sealed a 4-2 United win.

Man Utd vs Brighton predictions and tips Bright start It’s the cup and with United, you know anything can happen. A win here wouldn’t be a surprise, neither would defeat. But at 8/11 they’re completely unbackable in their current state, regardless of team selection and weekend games coming into both manager’s thinking. Brighton love it here, winning four of their last five Old Trafford visits. The weekend 5-0 thumping has only lifted them further and added to their fine start to the campaign.
