Man Utd set new Premier League record with opening day fixture against Brighton

Manchester United have set a new Premier League record after being handed a home clash against Brighton for their first game of the upcoming season.

The Red Devils will begin their new era under the management of Erik ten Hag, who took over as boss over the summer. The Dutchman will be hoping to get his reign off to the best possible start when his new side host the Seagulls on the 7th August.

Curiously, he will be following a line of United managers when he first takes to the Old Trafford dugout for a Premier League game. That is because, this is the sixth successive year that the Red Devils will open the curtain to their campaign with a home game.
