Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag had a few selection issues to resolve ahead of today’s trip to Brighton but opts for an unchanged lineup.
Both Joshua Zirkzee and Alejandro Garnacho came off the bench and had an impact during the curtain-raising win over Fulham, with summer signing Zirkzee scoring the winner with three minutes to go.

The pair will ahve hoped they have done enough to earn a start on the south coast, but Mason Mount and Amad Diallo keep their place.
Further back, Matthijs de Ligt is again on the bench after a cameo appearance against Fulham.
The summer arrival replaced Harry Maguire last week after the fellow defender limped off. Ten Hag later explained Maguire’s withdrawal was a precautionary measure.
