'Makes sense' - Manchester United fans agree with Erik ten Hag selection decision vs Brighton

Boss Erik ten Hag has named his starting line-up for Manchester United's Premier League showdown with Brighton & Hove Albion at the Amex Stadium this evening, making a handful of changes.

United, who have lost each of their last two league meetings with the Seagulls, will be looking to take another giant stride towards securing a top-four finish following Sunday's hard-fought 1-0 win over Aston Villa. Bruno Fernandes scored the only goal of the game to seal a fourth win in five league matches for the Reds.

It means that Ten Hag will be keen to see another victory from his side this evening, as they aim to leapfrog Newcastle United in the table and climb up to third. The Dutchman has opted to make a few tweaks to the side that beat Villa, making four changes in total.

Aaron Wan-Bissaka, who performed so well against Brighton at Wembley 11 days ago, Fred, Antony and Anthony Martial have come into the side, meaning Tyrell Malacia, Christian Eriksen, Marcel Sabitzer and Jadon Sancho have dropped out.

Meanwhile, the likes of Harry Maguire, Facundo Pellistri and Wout Weghorst have been named among the substitutes. However, Raphael Varane, Scott McTominay and Alejandro Garnacho still remain unavailable for selection.

Having made the decision to make four changes to the side that was victorious against Villa, Ten Hag will be hoping it has the desired impact as United target their first away win against a top-eight side all season. It is the inclusion of Fred from the start that has attracted the most attention from United's supporters in the immediate aftermath of the team news being confirmed.
