Brighton fans were in upbeat mood after Graham Potter's team to face Manchester United at Old Trafford was announced

Brighton are unchanged from the starting XI that walloped Newcastle 3-0 last time out, with Poland's Jakub Moder and Belgium's Leo Trossard in the starting line-up once more.

Both impressed against Newcastle and both scored excellent goals while on international duty last week. Trossard will play just behind the front pairing of Danny Welbeck and Neal Maupay, while Moder will likely be charging up and down the left flank.

Joel Veltman will once again be on the left side of a defensive trio alongside Lewis Dunk and Ben White.

There are also a places on the bench for Ecuador international international Moises Caicedo and Poland youngster Karbownik.

Manchester United made two changes from their last Premier League - the 1-0 win against West Ham on 14 March.

Paul Pogba is in for Scott McTominay and Ed Cavani returns for Daniel James.
