Man United injury, suspension list vs. Brighton

Manchester United will be looking to make the perfect start to their 2022-23 Premier League campaign when they welcome Brighton & Hove Albion to Old Trafford on Sunday afternoon.

The match will mark Erik ten Hag's first competitive fixture in charge of the 20-time English champions, who will be bidding to secure a spot in the top four this season, having finished down in sixth last term.

The Red Devils played twice last weekend as they brought their pre-season to a close, losing to Atletico Madrid in Oslo on Saturday before drawing 1-1 with Rayo Vallecano at Old Trafford on Sunday.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up the team's latest injury and suspension news ahead of the contest with Brighton, who beat Man United 4-0 in their penultimate match of last season.

Brandon Williams has not been involved for Man United during their pre-season preparations due to injury, and the full-back is not expected to be in the squad against the Seagulls even if he recovers from the issue.


Jadon Sancho

Jadon Sancho was forced to miss out against Atletico last Saturday due to illness, but the England international is widely expected to recover in time for Sunday's contest.

Anthony Martial has emerged as a major doubt for Man United's Premier League opener due to a hamstring problem that he picked up against Atletico last weekend.
