Sports Mole looks at Marcus Rashford's record against Brighton & Hove Albion ahead of Manchester United's clash with the Seagulls in the Premier League.

Marcus Rashford will be aiming to help Manchester United return to winning ways when Brighton & Hove Albion visit Old Trafford in the Premier League on Saturday afternoon.

The Red Devils have won two and lost two of their four league games this term, which has left them in 11th position in the table on six points heading into the next set of fixtures.

Rashford has netted once and provided one assist in four league appearances this term, with his goal coming in the 3-1 loss to Arsenal before the international break.

Here, Sports Mole looks at how the 25-year-old has fared against Brighton in the past ahead of Saturday's contest in Manchester.

Rashford has faced Brighton on 14 occasions during his professional career and boasts a strong record, winning 10 times, scoring four goals in the process, but he has also been on the end of four losses to the Seagulls.

The forward has taken on the club 11 times in the Premier League, with a record of seven wins and four defeats, while he has also faced them twice in the FA Cup and once in the EFL Cup.

Rashford has a perfect cup record against Brighton, helping Man United triumph in the sixth round of the 2017-18 FA Cup and in the semi-finals of the 2022-23 competition last season.

The Red Devils also beat Brighton 3-0 in the fourth round of the EFL Cup, with the England international playing 21 minutes of the contest.

Rashford's first of four goals against Brighton came at Old Trafford in 2019, while he has netted twice more against the Seagulls at Old Trafford in both the 2019-20 and 2020-21 campaigns.

The forward is currently on a run of three matches without a goal against Brighton, though, drawing a blank in a 2-0 victory for the Red Devils at Old Trafford during the 2021-22 season.

Man United actually lost twice to Brighton in the league last term, with Rashford playing the full match on both occasions.

Indeed, the Seagulls recorded a 2-1 victory at Old Trafford on the opening weekend of the 2022-23 campaign before winning 1-0 in the reverse fixture.

All four of Rashford's goals against Brighton have come in the Premier League, and Man United will be looking to their academy product for inspiration this weekend.
