Manchester United Predicted Lineup vs. Brighton: Premier League | OneFootball

Manchester United welcome Brighton and Hove Albion to Old Trafford in the Premier League on Sunday, as the Red Devils seek to clinch back-to-back league wins for the first time this season.

Amad Diallo's hat-trick in United's 3-1 win over Southampton on Thursday earned the club a first league win in five matches. The Red Devils have had an impressive start to 2025, with a 2-2 draw away at league leaders Liverpool on Jan 5, followed by last Sunday's FA Cup third-round victory away at Arsenal before winning again on Thursday against Southampton.

Head coach Ruben Amorim will have full back Diogo Dalot available for selection once again after the Portugal international's one-match suspension for a red card against Arsenal.

Midfielders Kobbie Mainoo and Manuel Ugarte are expected to be available, despite both players being withdrawn early against Southampton on Thursday, at half-time, and in the 53rd minute respectively.

Marcus Rashford's omission from the first-team squad is expected to continue this weekend. The 27-year-old's last appearance for the club came on Dec 12, and the forward continues to be linked with a move away from Old Trafford this month. Luke Shaw, Jonny Evans, Victor Lindelof, and Mason Mount all remain sidelined due to injury.

Here's what United's XI could look like against Brighton on Jan. 19.
