Manchester United vs Brighton & Hove Albion LIVE: Premier League result, final score and reaction

Heading into today's game, Manchester United had won each of their last eight Premier League matches at Old Trafford; they last enjoyed a longer home winning run in the competition back in 2013, en route to winning their last league title under Sir Alex Ferguson.

Alleviating the early pressure from their hosts, Brighton mount a quick counter: Solly sends Mitoma away on the break, but when the latter finds Lallana just outside the Manchester United box, a heavy touch sees the move disintegrate.

Dunk dives in to make a vital block inside his own box, after Reguilon plays in Rashford, who takes a couple of touches then unleashes a powerful strike at goal from the left-hand side of the area. Ultimately, it wouldn't have counted anyway, as the flag goes up for offside soon afterwards.

Rashford slings over a dangerous low cross fron the left touchline, which Hojlund only narrowly fails to make contact with, as he dives desperately into the six-yard box trying to make contact.

Following a free-kick routine orchestrated by Fernandes, a looping header from the edge of the box by Hojlund sails well over the crossbar. It's been an impressive start from the home side so far.

SAVE! Steele sticks out a leg to deny Rashford at the near post! After a direct run from the Man United forward, he reaches the byline and eludes Veltman's challenge; however, his close-range shot lacks conviction and allows Brighton's goalkeeper to make the save.

Determined play from Reguilon in midfield recovers the ball, and his forward run towards the left byline then earns Manchester United the first corner of the game. However, having taken it short, they almost immediately lose possession.
