Manchester United are looking to make it three wins on the bounce when they welcome Brighton to Old Trafford today.

Ruben Amorim’s long wait for back-to-back victories finally came to an end with victory over Liverpool on Sunday – with United now only two points behind the defending champions.

It was perhaps United’s best display under the Portuguese coach whose team selection and in in-game decisions paid off to ease some of the mounting pressure on his shoulders.

But supporters will be aware a poor performance against Brighton this evening will undo all that progress.

Amorim opted to drop Benjamin Sesko to the bench at Anfield with Matheus Cunha deployed in an advanced role. The Brazilian was superb on Merseyside, delivering his best performance since joining the club.
