Fred To Start, McTominay On The Bench: Manchester United’s Predicted XI To Face Brighton

After signing off with a win against Brentford at Old Trafford on Monday night, Manchester United will be keen to secure another victory when they face Brighton this evening.

Manager Ralf Rangnick is unlikely to make many changes for this game, with David De Gea starting in goal, Diogo Dalot at right back and Alex Telles playing on the opposite flank.

Captain Harry Maguire may only make the bench, so Raphael Varane and Victor Lindelof will partner each other in the centre of defence once again.


There could be a switch in midfield. Fred is fit again and he may replace Scott McTominay in the starting eleven, with in-form Nemanja Matic keeping his place.

Juan Mata deserves to stay in the no.10 role after recent performances, so Bruno Fernandes could be shifted out wide, with Anthony Elanga on the right-hand-side, and Cristiano Ronaldo leading the line.

Manchester United’s Predicted XI To Take On Brighton:

De Gea, Dalot, Lindelof, Varane, Telles, Fred, Mata, Matic, Elanga, Ronaldo, Fernandes
