The most significant event ahead of the trip to the Amex Stadium is the official appointment of Michael Carrick as Manchester United's head coach on a contract that runs until summer 2028. The former England midfielder has earned the trust of the club's leadership following a series of positive results since replacing Ruben Amorim in January.

In his 16 Premier League matches managing Manchester United, Carrick led the team to 11 victories. This achievement contributed to Old Trafford's return to the Champions League in the 2026/27 season and laid the groundwork for a new rebuilding phase.

Entering the final match of the season, MU carried great confidence after their 3-2 victory over Nottingham Forest in round 37. The Red Devils had also won 4 of their last 5 Premier League matches. However, their away form has not been entirely consistent, having been held to a goalless draw by Sunderland earlier this month.

Conversely, Brighton are still locked in a fierce battle for a European spot. Fabian Hurzeler's team currently sit seventh, a position that qualifies them directly for the Europa League group stage. However, the gap between them and the chasing pack is very narrow.

Brighton are only one point ahead of Chelsea and only slightly ahead of Brentford in the race for the top eight. Furthermore, the "Seagulls" still have a chance to break into the top six if the results of their other matches go well.

Despite their 0-1 defeat to Leeds United in the previous round, Brighton still have reason to be confident, boasting a very good head-to-head record against MU in recent years. The Amex Stadium side have won 7 of their last 10 encounters in all competitions, including a 2-1 victory in the FA Cup last January.

The upcoming clash therefore promises to be very exciting. Brighton are fighting for their European dream, while MU want to cap off a successful season with a perfect debut for Michael Carrick as their official manager.
