Man United did not pick up any fresh concerns in Monday's game, but there are fears that Jadon Sancho, Paul Pogba and Luke Shaw could miss the rest of the season.

Marcus Rashford and Eric Bailly will also miss the game with bronchitis and a back injury respectively.

However, Harry Maguire is back from his knee problem, and Aaron Wan-Bissaka could also overcome a knock in time for Saturday's game.

On the other hand, Brighton's Enock Mwepu suffered a groin injury against Wolves last weekend and he could miss the game against the Red Devils.

What was the result of the first leg?

Manchester United defeated Brighton 2-1 in the first leg at Old Trafford thanks to strikes from Cristiano Ronaldo and Bruno Fernandez.

What is the time for this Premier League match?

The match between Brighton and Hove Albion and Manchester United at Amex Stadium will kickoff at 4:30 pm.

Edinson Cavani Opens up On Wanting to Leave Manchester United

Sports Brief earlier reported that Manchester United forward Edinson Cavani reconsidered his future at the club once he learnt of the signing of Cristiano Ronaldo.

Cavani, 35, has his current contract expiring at the end of the season, and he is one of the many stars at Old Trafford set for the exit door.

He initially joined United from Paris Saint Germain in January 2020, before eventually signing a contract extension on May 10 2021.
