The dark clouds over Old Trafford seem to be slowly shifting of late. After a dismal start to the season, United have now won back-to-back matches for the first time since Amorim took over.
The result leaves United one point ahead of Saturday’s opposition in the table, and both sides could climb into the European places with a win.
Brighton face a tricky week, visiting high-flying Arsenal in the League Cup after their trip to Old Trafford, and will be keen to extend their unbeaten run to six matches before heading to the Emirates.
Date, kick-off time and venue
Manchester United vs Brighton is scheduled for a 5.30pm BST kick-off on Saturday, October 25, 2025.

Manchester United vs Brighton prediction
This match will be a massive test for Amorim. After struggling for so long, things finally seem to be looking up – if only slightly – and he could set United on a really positive path with a result against Brighton.
Of course, that is easier said than done. The Seagulls are not an easy team to beat. See, for reference, the recent win over Chelsea and 2-2 draw with Tottenham.
After battling to a huge win over Liverpool last time out, United must ride the wave.
Manchester United to win, 2-1.
