Leaving behind a disappointing start to the season, the Red Devils' spirits are higher than ever, having won two consecutive Premier League matches for the first time under Ruben Amorim – against Sunderland and Liverpool.
Defeating the reigning champions at Anfield was a memorable moment for Ruben Amorim, who had been under immense pressure recently.
The result also helped MU climb to 9th place, just 3 points behind second-placed Man City, equivalent to one win.
Today, Mbeumo and his teammates will return to Old Trafford, where they also enjoyed victories in their last three matches against Sunderland, Chelsea, and Burnley.
However, Brighton is a particularly difficult opponent for MU. Statistics clearly show this, with the Red Devils losing 6 out of their last 7 encounters.
To break the jinx, Amorim needs a resurgence from his attack. The trio of Mbeumo, Cunha, and Mount played well against Liverpool, so they are likely to be used again.
The Portuguese manager may continue to opt for a long-ball strategy, as Brighton are very good at applying high-pressure tactics.
Goalkeeper Lammens will be responsible for the "airplane" style kicks. Casemiro and his teammates will focus on winning second balls, orchestrating quick and direct attacks.
As for Brighton, Danny Welbeck is currently the most notable name. The former Manchester United striker scored against Chelsea, then netted a brace to help his team defeat Newcastle in the previous round.
The Seagulls' biggest problem lies in their defense, as they have only kept a clean sheet in 1 of their last 20 Premier League matches.
Playing away today, Hurzeler's team are confident having won all three of their most recent trips to Old Trafford. However, a Manchester United team undergoing a strong transformation is determined to secure all three points.
Asian Handicap: MU -0.5 (0: 1/2) - Over/Under: 3 (draw)
Prediction: MU wins 3-2
Force information
MU: Lisandro Martinez remains absent due to injury. Mazraoui has fully recovered.
Brighton: Solly March, Adam Webster, and Jack Hinshelwood are injured. The availability of Kaoru Mitoma, Joel Veltman, Diego Gomez, and Gruda is uncertain.
Predicted lineup
MU: Lammens; De Ligt, Maguire, Shaw; Amad, Casemiro, Fernandes, Dalot; Mount, Mbeumo, Cunha.
