sportsmole.co.uk, 21 August 2024, 08:28
Manchester United will be bidding to make it successive wins at the start of the new Premier League campaign when they travel to Brighton & Hove Albion on Saturday afternoon.

The Red Devils opened their 2024-25 season with a 1-0 success over Fulham, and the winning goal came from new signing Joshua Zirkzee, who converted a cross from Alejandro Garnacho.

Man United will now be looking to move onto six points in the table when they head to the Amex this weekend.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up Man United's injury and suspension news ahead of their contest with Brighton, who are currently at the top of the division courtesy of their 3-0 success over Everton last time out.

Leny Yoro

Status: Out

Type of injury: Foot

Status: Out

Type of injury: Hamstring

Possible return date: September 14 (vs. Southampton)

Hojlund picked up a hamstring injury during a pre-season fixture with Arsenal, and the Denmark international will be missing until at least the middle of September.
