If you really check out the performance of Manchester United against Fulham it wasn't easy with them. At the beginning of the game I think Manchester United were very relaxed, and the game was just like their regular performance in last season. Manchester United managed to score their first goal toward the end of the game, I think Fulham gave them a tough game . I won't just have hope on them because they won their first game against Fulham and it will still happen again when they play against Brighton. I feel Manchester United are still struggling, even if they won their first game. Their was no much different in performance of their first first game and that of last season. But as the season continues I'll see if their is a transformation in Manchester United to predict upcoming games .
I think we might be analyzing the matches differently based on our different perspectives but i personally saw a new Manchester United against Fulham. The first half which you attack or are castigating Manchester United for was to me one of their best football in few months, they got the deserved three points although Fulham too were exceptional not that Manchester United weren’t playing well. Last season if you had watched Manchester United you would have notice that they were just getting scrappy wins and not really controlling the game that much. But in their last two competitive matches they have been good at keeping the ball.
Against Brighton I expect them to win even though over the years Brighton have been one of their biggest obstacles when it comes to getting wins. I could remember Ten Hag first premier league game when he got beaten by Brighton. Hopefully they don’t allow that mistake to Happen again, my prediction is Manchester United winning against Brighton
Obviously, it won't be easy for Man United, and it's going to be even harder than they were against Fulham last week because Brighton are always tough when they face Man United, and they've always been truly a hurdle for Man United in the last 3 seasons. Not only at their home ground, but they can also make Man United miserable when playing away
But for some reason, I feel like Man United will win this match. They didn't perform perfectly against Fulham but I see they have a pretty promising attack scheme, and they just need an opportunist striker to turn it into goals. For this reason, Joshua Zirkzee should not be on the bench anymore.
This will be an extremely important test for coach Erik ten Hag's team, and the board of directors was right to continue to retain Erik ten Hag as MU coach. Coach Erik Ten Hag's challenge will be interesting because his team and Brighton both pursue attacking football and give little priority to defense. The biggest problem for coach Erik ten Hag is that his players are very poor at taking advantage of their opportunities. Against a tough opponent like Brighton, if they continue to be unlucky in finishing, MU may have to pay the price.
Brighton, under the leadership of new coach Fabian Hürzeler, is ready to compete with any opponent with a fast, direct style of play. Brighton's ability to create breakthroughs can come from any position on the pitch and at any time, ready to punish even the smallest mistake of the opponent.
It is very difficult to predict the outcome of this match. However, I think MU has certain advantages in terms of confrontation, force, and courage to be able to win right on Brighton's field. The match probably won't see many goals and the result will only be decided by goals in the final minutes of the match.
