With an edge over Arsenal in the penalties and then a 3-1 win over Southampton in the Premier League, Manchester United are enjoying their time lately. Their next game is against Brighton in the league at home this Sunday.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Red Devils will be eager to showcase another brilliant display and clinch all three points. They are anyway 12th on the points table and hence, they cannot afford to drop points if Ruben Amorim\u2019s men want to secure a European championship berth.<\/span><\/p>\n

Defence<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Goalkeeper Andre Onana had a mixed performance but his position is very much secured going into this battle.<\/span><\/p>\n

Matthijs de Ligt<\/a> and Lisandro Martinez <\/span>are likely to<\/span> be deployed again in the three-man backline. However, Harry Maguire could get the nod over Leny Yoro for this game.<\/span><\/p>\n

Midfield<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Noussair Mazraoui is again contributing to his side as a right-back. On the other hand, Diogo Dalot is back from suspension and should take up his left-back role.<\/span><\/p>\n

While Manuel Ugarte<\/a> continues in the middle of the park, Kobbie Mainoo could be making way for Christian Eriksen.<\/span><\/p>\n

Attack<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Without a doubt, Bruno Fernandes<\/a> will be seen in the attacking zone with the man of the moment, Amad Diallo. The latter scored a heroic hattrick to save his side against Southampton.<\/span><\/p>\n

For the striker role, Ruben Amorim is unlikely to hesitate to replace Rasmus Hojlund with Joshua Zirkzee as the latter has been impressive in his recent outings.<\/span><\/p>\n

Victor Lindelof (unspecified), Jonny Evans (muscle) and Mason Mount (thigh) are confirmed absentees for the Red Devils. While Luke Shaw is nearing his return from a calf injury, this game might <\/span>prove to<\/span> be too soon for him.<\/span><\/p>\n
