Why is Man United vs Brighton not on TV in the UK?

Manchester United vs Brighton: Preview

Have Manchester United turned a corner? Or is it still to early to say? The game against Brighton should tell us more.

After earning a draw against league leaders Liverpool and then beating Arsenal on penalties in the FA Cup, Ruben Amorim's side got back to winning ways in the Premier League on Thursday with a 3-1 win over Southampton.

And yet, with 80 minutes on the clock they trailed 1-0, and looked to be heading for a humiliating win against the side who are bottom of the Premier League table with only six points to their name. A rapid hattrick from Amad Diallo swept away that threat and put a gloss on the scoreline, but it did rather paper over the cracks of a performance that for the most part was unconvincing.

Brighton, meanwhile, had been racking up a frustrating number of draws but put an end to that with victory over strugglers Ipswich on Thursday night. The win moved the Seagulls back into the top half of the Premier League table.

With the winning groove back, they'll fancy their chances against a United side still seeking confidence and consistency, although in Diallo the Red Devils have a star man in red hot form.
