Brighton vs Manchester United: Premier League Match Preview

Brighton host Manchester United at Amex Stadium on 24 May 2026 in Premier League Regular Season - 38. Brighton sit 7th on 53 points with a goal difference of 9, while Manchester United are 3rd with 68 points and a goal difference of 16.

Brighton Availability

Brighton face multiple absences in attack and defence. K. Mitoma (Thigh Injury) is sidelined. S. Tzimas (Knee Injury) is sidelined. A. Webster (Knee Injury) is sidelined. Mitoma’s absence removes a key wide option to support D. Welbeck, who leads Brighton with 13 league goals and 1 assist and is fully available to start.

Manchester United Availability

Manchester United also have concerns. Casemiro (Inactive) is sidelined. M. de Ligt (Back Injury) is sidelined, weakening central defensive depth. B. Šeško (Leg Injury) is doubtful. Šeško has 11 league goals and 1 assist and is one of United’s main scoring threats, so his status is a potential major blow. Creative hub Bruno Fernandes, with 8 goals and 20 assists, remains available and central to United’s plans.

Impact Summary

Brighton’s main attacking output is intact through D. Welbeck, but the loss of Mitoma reduces their variety in the final third. Manchester United risk losing significant goal threat if B. Šeško does not feature, though they retain strong attacking depth via Bruno Fernandes, Matheus Cunha and B. Mbeumo.
