Victor Lindelof replaces Raphael Varane in Manchester United line-up vs Brighton

Manchester United have been forced into an 11th hour change against Brighton after Raphael Varane was taken ill during the warm-up at Old Trafford.

Originally scheduled to take place in December, the Premier League fixture (8.15pm) had to be rearranged when a Covid-19 outbreak forced United to temporarily shut down operations at their Carrington training base, prompting two games to be cancelled.

Brighton will take on United at Old Trafford tonight and kick-off in that one is fast-approaching.

Interim manager Ralf Rangnick initially made two changes to his line-up following a 1-1 draw with Southampton on Saturday afternoon - with Fred and Anthony Elanga coming in.

Paul Pogba and Marcus Rashford were those to make way as they, instead, took their seats on the bench alongside Alex Telles and England forward Jesse Lingard.
