With the next three league fixtures including the likes of Brighton, Fulham and Crystal Palace, Amorim will hope to see his side put points on the board and lift the team into the top half of the Premier League table.<\/p>\n<h3>Manchester United Injuries to Consider<\/h3>\n<p>Luke Shaw, Mason Mount, Jonny Evans and Victor Lindelof are all unavailable for the Brighton fixture due to injury. Diogo Dalot will make his return from suspension following his red card at Arsenal.<\/p>\n<h3>Manchester United Predicted Lineup Vs Brighton<\/h3>\n<p>GK: Andr\u00e9 Onana<\/p>\n<p>RCB: Matthijs de Ligt<\/p>\n<p>CB: Harry Maguire<\/p>\n<p>LCB: Lisandro Martinez<\/p>\n<p>RWB: Noussair Mazraoui<\/p>\n<p>LWB: Diogo Dalot<\/p>\n<p>CM: Kobbie Mainoo<\/p>\n<p>CM: Manuel Ugarte<\/p>\n<p>RAM: Amad Diallo<\/p>\n<p>LAM: <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/2024\/11\/24\/bruno-fernandes-role-under-ruben-amorim\/\" target=\"_self\">Bruno Fernandes<\/a><\/p>\n<p>ST: <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/2024\/08\/02\/what-special-joshua-zirkzee-will-bring-to-manchester-united\/\" target=\"_self\">Joshua Zirkzee<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Following a hard-fought 3-1 win over Southampton on Thursday night that came after FA Cup progression away at Arsenal and an encouraging draw against Liverpool at Anfield, Manchester United will look to confirm their upturn in form with a tricky-looking home Premier League fixture against Brighton.
