The final day of a punishing season for Manchester United could still see them qualify for Europe when they travel to Brighton today.
The Red Devils edged a 3-2 win over Newcastle on Wednesday night to open up their chances of leapfrogging the Magpies at the last hurdle.
Should they better Newcastle’s result at Brentford, they will take seventh place and a spot in the Europa Conference League.
Either way, they can only reach the Europa League by winning the FA Cup next weekend due to their poor goal difference compared to sixth-placed Chelsea.
Erik ten Hag was able to welcome back a number of key players in midweek and will be confident of avoiding the club’s lowest-ever finish of eighth in the Premier League era.
This game will also be Roberto De Zerbi’s last in the Brighton dugout after his surprise decision to leave by mutual consent.
Date, kick-off time and venue
Brighton vs Manchester United is scheduled for a 4pm BST kick-off time today Sunday May 19, 2024.
The Amex Stadium in Falmer, near Brighton, will host.
