In the context of a devastated force due to discipline and injuries, Man United, despite playing at home, still has to be vigilant to the highest level against unpredictable opponents like Brighton.

After being accused of assaulting his girlfriend, Antony was suspended indefinitely. This is the biggest and most painful pain in the Man United squad at the moment. The person who can play on the right wing is Jadon Sancho. After the scandal, he has no chance to stay in the main team. In theory, at this time the “Red Devils” only have Facundo Pellistri who is healthy and can take on this position. With Amad Diallo, things were still quite unlucky after healing.

However, Manchester United will be very risky if in this important match they choose someone who has not really proven their abilities like Pellistri. If they are not careful, their right wing could be paralyzed again like in previous matches. Therefore, Erik ten Hag must consider a safer plan. Last season, in many matches Ten Hag played Bruno Fernandes on the right wing while Antony was injured. M.U’s captain showed perfection in his movements and was superior to his teammates in passing the ball into the penalty area.

One final option considered is to push Diogo Dalot to replace Antony. In the context that Aaron Wan-Bissaka is protecting the right-back position very well, Dalot’s ability to compete is quite difficult. Only when Ten Hag needs to attack strongly does the Portuguese star have a chance. In terms of speed, Dalot is as fast as Antony and his finishing ability has been proven in many matches. If you only use Dalot to stick to the edge, cross and shoot from a distance, Ten Hag will not be a bad choice.

In particular, in any situation, Ten Hag should not use Marcus Rashford for this position if he does not want to waste the English star’s talent and make both wings of Man United ineffective.

Expected Manchester United lineup: Onana; Wan-Bissaka, Lindelof, Martinez, Dalot; Casemiro, Eriksen, McTominay; Rashford; Hojlund, Fernandes
