Manchester United vs Brighton prediction: How will Premier League fixture play out tonight?

PA Wire

Manchester United face Brighton and Hove Albion on Tuesday evening in a fixture originally postponed due to Covid-19 over the Christmas period.

The Red Devils have won only three of their last eight fixtures in the league and are struggling under interim manager Ralf Rangnick, who took over in the autumn after the sacking of predecessor Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.
