Manchester United’s 2023/24 season has featured plenty of drama, even after the first international break. They suffered a 3-1 defeat to Arsenal just before the break, and a public dispute erupted between manager Erik ten Hag and Jadon Sancho. Additionally, Antony faces abuse allegations in Brazil. Ten Hag aims to shift the focus to their upcoming tough matches, including encounters with Brighton and Bayern Munich.
Despite their shaky start this season with two wins and two losses in the Premier League (PL), they secured both victories at home. They have maintained an unbeaten record at Old Trafford since September 2022. Brighton inflicted their last PL home defeat on the opening day of the previous season.
Brighton is in good form, having clinched three consecutive PL wins against Manchester United. They comfortably defeated Newcastle 3-1 before the international break. Their coach, Roberto de Zerbi, praised their performance, and they have won three out of four PL games this season, with just one loss.
An exciting week awaits Brighton, commencing with their visit to a famous venue and followed by their debut in the UEFA Europa League against AEK Athens. They have recorded four wins and four losses in their last eight PL away matches, and this trend extends to their 12 PL encounters with Manchester United, with no draws, five wins, and seven losses.
