Ruben Amorim would have learned a lot about his Man United side over the last couple of weeks after battling performances against Liverpool and Arsenal.

However, this upcoming run of matches will give the Red Devils a perfect opportunity to climb the standings. United will be heavily preferred in the betting for their showdown against Brighton on Sunday.

The Seagulls have endured a difficult period, but confidence would have been gained from their dominant 4-0 win over Norwich City in the FA Cup last weekend.

Man United vs. Brighton Picks

Brighton’s excellent record against the Red Devils is a very hard trend to overlook this weekend. But, their possession-based style could play into the hands of Amorim’s United, who are much better on the counter-attack.

Therefore, the preference is for United to claim maximum points at the Theatre of Dreams.
