Manchester United looks to extend their positive form against Brighton in the Premier League, but key players remain sidelined due to injuries.
Manchester United welcomes Brighton and Hove Albion to Old Trafford on Sunday afternoon, aiming to sustain their promising start to 2025. United solidified their positive momentum following a commendable draw against league leaders Liverpool and a penalty shootout victory against Arsenal in the FA Cup third round. Their triumph against Southampton on Thursday saw a remarkable 12-minute hat-trick from Amad Diallo, propelling United to 12th place in the Premier League table.
Despite this upward trajectory, they remain nine points behind seventh-placed Aston Villa and 12 points adrift of the top four. Manager Ruben Amorim acknowledges the significant work needed if United aspires to secure European football qualification for the next season. They confront Brighton, currently positioned in ninth place, five points ahead of United. United's pursuit of an unbeaten start to the year faces a challenge as they will be missing four key players. Here's an update on the United injury situation: Luke Shaw (hamstring), expected return date: Late January; Manager Amorim's statement: 'Shaw is nearer than Mount. Mason will take a little bit longer. Luke, we'll see in the next week or two. We'll see if he's returning.' Mason Mount (thigh), expected return date: Mid-February; Amorim's statement: 'Mount is further away than Shaw. Mason will take a little bit longer.' Victor Lindelof (muscular), expected return date: Unknown; Amorim's statement: 'I think he has something we have to assess to say specifically what he has, but it's tough to lose a player.' Jonny Evans (muscular injury), expected return date: Unknown.
