A trip to Brighton is up next for United

United’s Matchday 32 encounter is against the falling Seagulls. They are sweating relegation and are unquestionably profiting from the time off.

Ole’s men ran out deserved winners in the reverse meeting between the two. They beat them 3-1 at Old Trafford and judging by the pair’s respective forms, United should have no problem taking all the points again.

The Red Devils are still in the fight on two separate fronts for a spot in next season’s Champions League. No doubt Ole’s benefitting from the additional break, welcoming key players from injury, who would not have been fit for some of their remaining fixtures.

United sit in fifth place on 45 points, three points behind Chelsea. They enjoy a nice smooth run against none of the usual top-six clubs, with only Leicester City and Sheffield United being their toughest competitors.
