Brighton vs Manchester United Betting Tips

Manchester United are favourites to beat Brighton & Hove Albion as they look to get back to winning ways in this Premier League clash.

United made a poor start to the season, undone by Crystal Palace, but their form at the end of last season suggests it should be just a blip.

They were vastly improved in the latter half of last season and their 14-match unbeaten run and subsequent climb up the table is testament to that.
Donny van de Beek scored on his debut and United’s forward line should be back firing again soon.

They face a Brighton team who impressed in beating Newcastle last week, but United are still very much favourites for this one.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side might have been poor at the start of last season, but they are favourites to bounce back from what should prove a rare poor result in this campaign.
