Is Man United v Brighton on TV today? Channel, start time and how to watch FA Cup tie online

Manchester United host Brighton in the FA Cup today as Darren Fletcher continues to take charge of the team.

Fletcher, who was named interim manager following last week’s sacking of Ruben Amorim, will lead United out at Old Trafford after taking the helm for their Premier League draw at Burnley in midweek.

United continue to search for a manager to take control until the rest of the season, with Ole Gunnar Solskjaer in talks to take the reins from Fletcher as soon as next week, as the club’s hierarchy put off hiring a permanent manager until the summer.

Brighton are three points behind United in the Premier League and will hope to cause an upset today, as Fabian Hurzeler plots a cup run. The Seagulls have never won the FA Cup but did reach the final in 1983 – when they were beaten by United.

Here is everything you need to know.
