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.
