Šeško starts instead of Mount, relegated to the bench, and the match-winner Harry Maguire doesn’t feature entirely, Leny Yoro taking his place in defence. An issue arose during training this week. Malacia returns among the substitutes in 2025-26. The Seagulls opted for one change following victory at home over Newcastle. Seemingly a tactical shift, swapping in Maxim De Cuyper for Diego Gómez, who drops to the bench. Danny Welbeck, ex-United player that lifted the title in 2012-13, returns to Old Trafford on a hot streak with four recent goals, one more than he’d managed in his previous 15. Leading Stories Amorim is unfazed for the opinions of Liverpool’s boss … yet Welbeck is mindful about the considerations by the former Chelsea manager.

Star performers include Fernandes from the hosts plus Welbeck for the visitors, each performing well lately.
