Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag could fall into familiar trap vs Brighton

When Manchester United travel to the AMEX this evening they do so knowing Brighton will be eyeing revenge.

Erik ten Hag's side came out victorious when the pair met for an FA Cup semi-final at Wembley less than two weeks ago, a 6-7 penalty-shootout win sending the Reds through after 120 minutes did nothing to separate them. Victor Lindelof's penalty settled it but Solly March's was the defining spot-kick, the Seagulls man sending his effort high and wide after Wout Weghorst's now infamous 'kiss of death'.

Roberto De Zerbi admitted after the game that there was nothing wrong with Weghorst's mind games, but Brighton certainly haven't forgotten about that day in London and the narrative surrounding the build-up to this evening has been one of revenge.
