How to watch Brighton vs Manchester United - TV channel, live stream and early team news

Manchester United will be going in search of a second consecutive Premier League victory when they travel to the Amex Stadium to face Brighton & Hove Albion on Saturday evening.

United, who beat the Seagulls 2-0 at Old Trafford back in February, courtesy of goals from Cristiano Ronaldo and Bruno Fernandes, arrested their three-game winless run with a 3-0 triumph over Brentford at Old Trafford. Raphael Varane, Fernandes and Ronaldo each scored to keep the Reds' faint hopes of securing a top-four finish alive.

United will travel to the Amex Stadium five points shy of the Champions League places, highlighting the importance of three points. However, the fact that both Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur will have three games in hand on the Reds by the time the final whistle goes on the south coast highlights how unlikely it is that Ralf Rangnick's side will qualify for Europe's premier club competition for next season.
