Momentum is fragile, and this Saturday, Brighton & Hove Albion arrive at Old Trafford for a clash that could define United’s season. Brighton have been a bogey side for the Red Devils, winning three consecutive visits to Old Trafford in the past, including a 3-1 demolition in January 2025. Back then, Amorim didn’t mince words, describing his squad as “maybe the worst” in the club’s history.
Brighton have taken six of the last seven Premier League encounters with United, making this fixture more than just another league game. A win would not only move the Red Devils into the top four—at least temporarily—but provide tangible proof that the club may finally be finding its footing under Amorim.
“We will see after Brighton,” said Ruben Amorim on whether United have turned a corner.
