What is it?

The third of three Premier League matches on Sunday. Jose Mourinho's men travel down to the south coast to take on Chris Hughton's Seagulls at the Amex Stadium. United opened their campaign last weekend with a win, while Brighton tasted defeat. However, this fixture will bring back fond memories of Albion's last home game of the 2017-18 season, a 1-0 win over United in May which secured their top-flight status.

When is it?

Sunday, August 19.

What time is kick-off?

4pm BST.

What TV channel is it on?

Sky Sports Main Event and Sky Sports Premier League from 3.30pm.

What is the team news?

Brighton

Manager Chris Hughton has confirmed that new signing Martin Montoya is available to play against United on Sunday.

The full-back moved to the south coast from Spanish side Valencia in the summer and could line up against the Red Devils in the Seagulls' first home match of the new Premier League season.

Captain Bruno, winger Jose Izquierdo and forward Florin Andone are unavailable because of various fitness issues.

What are they saying?

Brighton boss Chris Hughton on playing United:

"The last game against them was our last one at home and our fans will rightly remember it. The supporters have been excellent and we know they'll be great again this weekend."

Hughton on Jose Mourinho:

"He is one of our best managers, if you look at the record he has of winning things. And I think when you are that type of manager you are going to be in the spotlight far more than others and everything is going to be picked up.

"They got off to a wining start last week (2-1 against Leicester), which is something they do on a regular basis. I just think he's a very high-profile manager. But he's managing a team that are more used to winning than losing."
