Man Utd suddenly received bad news when they were flying high

(Dan Tri) - While on the rise, Man Utd suddenly received bad news when two players Harry Maguire and Mason Mount were uncertain to play in the match against Brighton tonight (October 25).

At 11:30 p.m. today (October 25), Man Utd will welcome Brighton at Old Trafford in round 9 of the Premier League. Before this match, coach Ruben Amorim's team is playing well, winning 3/4 of the recent matches.

In particular, Liverpool's victory at Anfield in the previous round has helped coach Ruben Amorim and his team to be highly excited. They have risen to 9th place on the rankings with 13 points after 8 matches, only 6 points behind the leading team Arsenal.

However, while they were on a high, Man Utd received bad news when the duo Harry Maguire and Mason Mount were uncertain to play in the match against Brighton. These two players both played a big role in the Red Devils' 2-1 victory over Liverpool in the previous round. Maguire scored the winning goal to make it 2-1, while Mount played enthusiastically throughout the match.

Coach Amorim revealed the condition of the two players: “The current Man Utd squad is generally fine. We have a few cases to monitor like Maguire and Mount. They have a slight collision but not serious. We will evaluate further tomorrow. Lisandro Martinez is still unable to return, the rest of the team is ready.”

The Portuguese coach also highly appreciated Brighton, the opponent who had won both matches against Man Utd last season and even had three consecutive victories at Old Trafford under three different managers.

Coach Amorim added: “I think it will be a very difficult match. Brighton are a very interesting team. They play well in organisation, they handle transitions very well and they are very well-rounded in many aspects, including set-pieces. We have to be focused and smart to face this club.”

The 40-year-old Man Utd coach also did not hesitate to praise his colleague Fabian Hurzeler, who is only 32 years old and is entering his second season leading Brighton. Coach Amorim said: “You can clearly see Fabian's mark in the way Brighton play. It is a style of play full of energy and belief. They are loyal to their philosophy, even under pressure. I am a real fan of Fabian.”

In the match against Brighton, Bruno Fernandes will mark the milestone of 300 appearances for Man Utd. Speaking about the club captain, coach Amorim admitted his surprise: "I think he is different from what people often say. Bruno Fernandes is extremely focused, sometimes he can show frustration but it comes from the desire to help the team.

He always wants to take responsibility, feels deeply every time the team does not win. For me, that is the quality of a true leader, a great player. Hopefully tomorrow, Bruno will reach that memorable milestone in a very special way."
