What to look for in Manchester United against Brighton
By Wyatt Miner
Tomorrow Manchester United faces off against Brighton and Hove Albion as they look for another vital three points.
The squad is healthy again for the most part, and Mourinho aims for another win. As always, there are no easy wins in the Premier League. The Red Devils need to come into this match with the intentions of winning. Additionally, there are several things one need to be aware of during this match.
First and foremost, watch how the midfield performs. Jose Mourinho’s tactics revolve around Paul Pogba. He dominates the midfield, and there is no doubt that he will play a crucial role in the outcome of the game. Matic is another component in the midfield that will impact the game’s outcome. Matic is positioned in such a way that Pogba can push up and get in on the attack. Both of the midfielders will challenge Brighton’s attack.
Manchester United’s attack is looking potent with the return of Ibrahimovic
Romelu Lukaku is another piece in Mourinho’s squad that will help United win. Despite struggling to score in recent games, Lukaku is still a big piece in the attack. He is able to get down and dirty with defenders, and ultimately, he can find the net. There is no doubt that Lukaku will bring something special to the game tomorrow.
Also, Zlatan Ibrahimovic could make an appearance tomorrow, and everyone knows how special Zlatan is. For Instance, he attempted an overhead kick just minutes into his return from injury. Ibrahimovic brings an attitude to the game, and he will prove to be difficult for Brighton’s defense. Ibrahimovic is a skilled player who knows how to shoot for goal. It is quite possible that Ibrahimovic could replace Lukaku in the game, or we could see the two fielded as a partnership.
