Where to watch Man United vs Brighton live stream, TV channel, lineups, betting odds for Premier League match
Manchester United make their return to Premier League action with an eye-catching home clash against Brighton & Hove Albion on September 16.
Erik ten Hag's side have endured a mixed start to the new campaign, with home wins against Wolves and Nottingham Forest balanced against defeats on the road at Tottenham and Arsenal.
The turmoil within the club has also proved a distraction of late. The ownership saga shows little sign of being over any time soon, while friction between Ten Hag and Jadon Sancho has arisen and Brazil winger Antony has been placed on leave while he answers allegations of assault, which he strongly denies.
Brighton have continued their impressive form from the end of last season with three wins from four matches, and 12 goals scored. They are the last team to defeat United at Old Trafford in the Premier League — back in August last year — and they will be in confident mood.
The Sporting News looks at the key details ahead of this game, including how to watch it across the world, kickoff times and the latest lineup news.
