Manchester United take on the visitors Brighton in the round 1 match of English Premier League. The match will be played on Sunday, August 7th at Old Trafford (Manchester).
Manchester United disappoint this summer. The Red Devils were active a year ago. Then, against the backdrop of the relative success of the 2020/2021 season (2nd place in the Premier League and the Europa League final), a lot of money was spent on newcomers. In the end, everything ended in failure: Ole Gunnar was removed in the fall, but Rangnik only made things worse, finishing in 6th position. Back in the spring, it became clear that ten Hag would become the new manager, and he was allegedly promised newcomers. The roster was indeed cleared, parting ways with Mata, Matic, Dean Henderson, Lingard, Cavani and Andreas Pereira. But at the same time, Eriksen was signed for free, and only Lisandro Martinez and Malasia were bought. No wonder Ronaldo is considering whether or not he should stay.

Brighton never became something more than the average Premier League. The Seagulls have been training and playing under the guidance of Graham Potter for several seasons. And everyone is waiting for one of the most promising managers in the UK to show serious progress with his wards. The start of the 2021/2022 draw gave hope that here it is, a breakthrough. But in fact it turned out that again, “Albion” gave a good season, but nothing more. All that happened was to climb to the top of the standings, finishing in 9th place. In the off-season, a key player, Bissum, left the team. Constantly Manchester City eager for Cucurella. There were only a few newcomers in July, and even Julio Enkiso, who cost more than 10 million, hardly signed up for the base. The striker from Paraguay is only 18 years old!
Manchester United had a nice streak of 7 head-to-head matches won in a row. But in the spring, Brighton not only won the duel with the giant, but also defeated the Red Devils with a score of 4-0. Manchester United at home is naturally considered the favorite of the confrontation. But Brighton can surprise, so it's better to stick to the neutral option with "over 2.5 goals"
Prediction for the match: Over 2.5 scored goals.
