Manchester United will hit the road and ride to the south to take on Brighton & Hove Albion at the AMEX on Saturday.
Ralf Rangnick's side finally played some good football after what feels like ages as they beat Brentford 3-0 at Old Trafford last weekend. Bruno Fernandes opened the scoring for the Red Devils in the ninth minute before Cristiano Ronaldo made it 2-0 from the spot in the 61st.
Raphael Varane found the back of the net by virtue of a deflection to make it 3-0 and help his side have a rare comfortable finish to the game. Manchester United are currently sixth in the Premier League table. They are two points behind fifth-placed Tottenham Hotspur but have played two more games than them.
The only question pertinent to Manchester United's disappointing and utterly dispiriting campaign is whether or not they will qualify for the Europa League. Either way, it is unlikely to be met with jubilation among fans who are already looking towards the summer transfer window for any sense of hope.
Meanwhile, Brighton & Hove Albion are on a mission to finish inside the top 10, which would be a fair reflection of the quality of Graham Potter's side. They were thoroughly dominant against Wolverhampton Wanderers last weekend, beating them 3-0 and restricting Bruno Lage's men to just one shot on target.
The last time the two sides locked horns was in February in the reverse fixture and the Red Devils won the game 2-0.
Brighton & Hove Albion vs Manchester United Head-to-Head and Key Numbers
Brighton & Hove Albion vs Manchester United Prediction
Brighton & Hove Albion have been appallingly poor at home this season. Manchester United's away record in recent times has been awful as well. However, after their 3-0 win over Brentford last weekend, we expect the Red Devils to play without the weight of pressure as they only have some pride left to play for.
Brighton & Hove Albion will put up a fight, but their recent record against Manchester United is rather dire. The Red Devils are likely to go home with all three points on Saturday.

Yeah true_ very improbable but it's football, anything can happen
how then can both Arsenal and spurs lose all their matches, when they are even meeting each other 😆....mathematically United are still in the race for top 4 but technically they are out of the race...
