Erik ten Hag and his Manchester United players boarded a private flight to Gatwick on Thursday morning as they prepare to take on Brighton in the Premier League.
United currently sit fourth, two points adrift of Newcastle in third and four points ahead of Liverpool in fifth. United have a game in hand on Newcastle and two in hand on Liverpool.
Victory for United at the Amex Stadium will effectively end their hosts' slim chances of securing Champions League qualification. Brighton are currently eighth in the league table, 11 points off the top four, but have played fewer fixtures than every team above them, and have three games in hand on Liverpool, Tottenham and Aston Villa, who sit fifth, sixth and seventh in the standings respectively.
