BRIGHTON 0-0 MANCHESTER UNITED
12: Should be 1-0. The Belgian does great work to disposes Propper 20-yards from his goal. After a neat one-two with Mata he’s one-on-one with Ryan but drags the shot wide.
10: Anthony Martial has a huge chance to establish himself in Jose Mourinho’s starting XI today. The absence of Alexis Sanchez could be the stroke of fortune that the Frenchman needs.
8: There’s a really boisterous atmosphere at the Amex Stadium. The Brighton fans will want to see a better display than last weekend’s miserable defeat to Watford.
Paul Pogba threads it over to Anthony Martial, who ghosts into the penalty area before seeing his low effort blocked by Dunk.
5: Pascal Gross skips past Ashley Young before his looping cross is dealt with by Eric Bailly. Manchester United haven’t settled and look a bit nervy at the back.
3: It’s been a positive start for the hosts with Knockaert and march involved in the early stages. The Red Devils are trying to take the sting out of Brighton with some harmless passing around midfield.

BRIGHTON 0-0 MANCHESTER UNITED
1: Martin Tyler shrieks “and it’s live,” and we’re underway. Should be interesting to see how Andreas Pereira gets on this afternoon. And Anthony Martial for that matter.
TWO-MINUTE WARNING
15:58: We’re nearly underway at an overcast Amex Stadium. Predictions anyone? I’ll go for a narrow Manchester United win. 1-0 probably, but let’s hope for a few more goals, eh?
PAUL POGBA – WHAT’S GOING ON?!
15:50: Paul Pogba impressed in United’s opening game of the season against Leicester, opening the scoring with a slow-motion penalty and also captaining the side in the 2-1 victory.
However, Pogba’s post-match interview fuelled questions about how happy he was at Old Trafford, when saying: “There are things that I cannot say otherwise I will get fined.”
Unsurprisingly manager Jose Mourinho insisted in his pre-match press conference that he has never been happier with the World Cup winner, but how long that lasts remains to be seen.
