Manchester United team news: Injury, suspension list vs. Brighton & Hove Albion

Sports Mole rounds up all of Manchester United's latest injury and suspension news ahead of Thursday's Premier League fixture with Brighton & Hove Albion.

Manchester United return to Premier League action on Thursday night as they square off against Brighton & Hove Albion, a rival for European qualification.

Erik ten Hag's side strengthen their hold of a top-four spot in the standings when they edged out Aston Villa by a 1-0 scoreline on Sunday.

While that victory opened up a seven-point gap over fifth place, United face a Brighton side who are 11 points adrift with a match in hand and scored six times against Wolverhampton Wanderers at the weekend.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up Man United's latest injury and suspension news ahead of their visit to the South Coast.
