VS
Manchester United vs Brighton pairs United’s traditional stature with Brighton’s ability to win at Old Trafford and create sharp reversals. United won 3–0 away in June 2020 and 2–0 at home in February 2022, but Brighton answered 4–0 at home in May 2022 and 2–1 at Old Trafford in August 2022. Brighton followed with 3–1 away wins in September 2023 and January 2025, before United won 3–0 away on 24 May 2026. New meetings will test that reversal.

United carry the traditional reference
Manchester United have supplied many of the clearest results in this Premier League pairing. United won 1–0 at Old Trafford on 25 November 2017 and 3–1 there on 10 November 2019, then added 3–0 away on 30 June 2020 and 3–0 again in the League Cup on 30 September 2020. Their 2–0 home victory on 15 February 2022 reinforced that stronger reference across league and cup settings.
Brighton have changed the script
Brighton’s answers have been emphatic and venue-sensitive. They won 1–0 at home on 4 May 2018 and 3–2 there on 19 August 2018, then produced a 4–0 home victory on 7 May 2022. Brighton also won 2–1 at Old Trafford on 7 August 2022, 1–0 at home on 4 May 2023 and 3–1 away on 16 September 2023. Brighton’s 3–1 win at Old Trafford on 19 January 2025 was followed by another 2–1 away victory in the FA Cup on 11 January 2026. United answered with a 3–0 victory at Brighton on 24 May 2026, but the contrast shows why their status does not guarantee a comfortable match. A future meeting will ask whether United can restore home control or Brighton can create another reversal.
