Manchester United fans react to starting line-up vs Brighton as Juan Mata starts once again

Interim manager Ralf Rangnick has named his starting line-up for Manchester United's Premier League clash with Brighton & Hove Albion at the Amex Stadium this teatime.

United, who beat the Seagulls 2-0 at Old Trafford back in February, will be looking to build on Monday evening's 3-0 triumph over Brentford. Bruno Fernandes, Cristiano Ronaldo and Raphael Varane all scored to keep the Reds' faint hopes of securing Champions League football for next season alive.

United enter this teatime's clash five points behind fourth-placed Arsenal, highlighting how important securing three points will be. However, the Gunners will have three games in hand on Rangnick's troops by the time the full-time whistle on the south coast is blown.

Rangnick, who has watched United lose their last four Premier League away games, has decided to name the same side that beat Brentford. The likes of Harry Maguire and Fred were amongst those hunting a starting berth but they have been left on the bench.

Meanwhile, the likes of Aaron Wan-Bissaka and Alejandro Garnacho are also amongst the substitutes.

Having named the same line-up, all eyes will be on United to see if they can replicate the level of performance they produced on Monday, as they look to make it back-to-back victories for the first time since February. It is Juan Mata's inclusion in the starting line-up that has attracted the most attention from United's supporters in the immediate aftermath of the team news being confirmed.
