    FT: Man Utd 2-1 Brighton!! All over at Old Trafford and United claim the points. Welbeck had put Brighton ahead in the first half, but the visitors failed to get a second and United fought back. Marcus Rashford's leveller in the 62nd minute was the turning point as then United began to take over and Mason Greenwood got the winner seven minutes from time. Brighton put in a great effort, but came up just short.

    HT: Man Utd 0-1 Brighton!! Half-time at Old Trafford and the visitors lead through a 13th minute Welbeck goal. The hosts started well and hit the post, but Brighton have played well since the goal. Henderson has looked shaky at the back and Dunk and Moder could have easlly doubled their advantage. United have lacked the killer touch in the final third. Back shortly!
