Manchester United will look to build on Thursday night’s 3-1 win over Southampton when they take on Brighton this afternoon.

Ruben Amorim’s men struggled for most of the game against the bottom of the Premier League, but Amad Diallo’s late hat-trick gave them an impressive 3-1 win.

With this win, the team moved to 13th place in the standings, and three more points this afternoon will make them jump to 11th place.

But Brighton will present a tough challenge.

Fabian Horzler’s side may not be at their best currently, but they have found the grit that has seen them go five games unbeaten in the league.

Rasmus Hoglund has paid the price for his recent disappointing form by being benched.

The Danish striker has scored just two league goals this season and was replaced by Joshua Zirkzee.

Diogo Dalot returns from suspension and will play at left-back with Diallo moving forward to play alongside Bruno Fernandes.

The third change saw Harry Maguire called up instead of Lisandro Martinez.

Manchester United: Onana, Mazraoui, De Ligt, Maguire, Euro, Dalot, Ugarte, Maino, Fernandes, Diallo, Zirkzee.

Brighton team news

Horzler made three changes to the side that beat Ipswich in midweek.

Adam Webster, Matt O’Reilly and Simon Adingra are out with the arrival of Lewis Dunk, Yankuba MentĂ© and former United striker Danny Welbeck.

Brighton: Verbruggen, Dunk, Van Hecke, Veltman, Estopinan, Paliba, Ayari, Mente, Mitouma, Pedro, Welbeck.
