Preview: Brighton vs Manchester United
Brighton & Hove Albion is a team to keep an eye on for the upcoming football season. They’ve been impressive during the pre-season, thanks to their new manager, Fabian Hürzeler. Hürzeler has brought a fresh, attacking style of play to the team, and he’s gaining a lot of attention as one of the brightest young managers in the world. In fact, he’s the youngest manager in the Premier League this season. Under his guidance, Brighton started the season strongly with a fantastic away win against Everton.
Manchester United also began the season with a win, though it was a close call against Fulham. Despite not playing their best, Erik ten Hag and his team are pleased to start the season with a victory. The win was especially satisfying for the United fans as their new signing scored the decisive goal, sparking cheers at Old Trafford. However, the real challenge will come when United faces one of the league's top attacking teams away from home. With the high-profile signings they’ve made this season, they have a good chance of coming out on top in that match.

Key Players to Watch: Brighton vs Manchester United
Kaoru Mitoma (Brighton & Hove Albion)
Brighton fans will be delighted to see Kaoru Mitoma back in action after a tough season with injuries. The Japanese winger finished the last season with three goals and five assists, and he's started this season strong with a goal against Everton.
Mitoma's speed and skill could be a nightmare for the Manchester United defense, which wasn't very solid last season.
Alejandro Garnacho (Manchester United)
Alejandro Garnacho has been in excellent form for Manchester United. The young Argentine scored a goal against Manchester City last season and set up the winning goal for Joshua Zirkzee in the opening match of this season. He finished the last season with ten goals and five assists, and he's one of the most talented players on the United team.
Garnacho's pace and dribbling ability make him a dangerous threat to any defense. He'll be looking to have another impressive performance against Brighton.
