Martial starts as Man Utd face Brighton

Anthony Martial has been named in Manchester United's starting XI for Sunday's Premier League meeting with Brighton & Hove Albion at the Amex Stadium.

The France international is one of three changes made by Jose Mourinho from 2-1 win over Leicester City last time out.

Martial takes the place of Alexis Sanchez, who was absent from the travelling United contingent pictured at Manchester Airport on Saturday.

Ashley Young, meanwhile, is in for Matteo Darmian, while Romelu Lukaku gets a start ahead of Marcus Rashford, who is on the bench.

As for Brighton, Chris Hughton has opted to make two changes from last week's 2-0 loss away at Watford, both coming at full-back.

Martin Montoya comes in for his Seagulls debut in place of Bruno at right-back, while Gaetan Bong replaces Bernardo on the left of defence.

Brighton & Hove Albion: Ryan; Montoya, Duffy, Dunk, Bong; Knockaert, Stephens, Propper, March; Murray, Gross Subs: Button, Kayal, Bissouma, Locadia, Balogun, Jahanbakhsh, Bernardo
