Ten Hag looking to get off to a perfect start

Man Utd spent over £50m to secure the services of Ajax's Lisandro Martinez, a player ten hag knows very well of course. Tyrell Malacia has arrived from Feyenoord for £13.50m to add competition to the left-back spot, while Cristian Eriksen will add plenty of creativity to the midfield and expertise from dead-ball situations after his free transfer move from Brentford.

Brighton have brought in striker Julio Enciso from Libertad for just over £10m and winger Simon Adingra from Danish side Nordsjaelland for £7.20m. Yves Bissouma has left the club to join Tottenham for £26m and Ostigard moved to Napoli for just under £5m. Tudor Baluta has left on a free transfer and a number of players have left the club following loan spells.

Brighton Predicted Lineup: Sanchez, Veltman, Dunk, Duffy, Lamptey, Mwepu, Alzate, Cucurella, Mac Allister, Trossard & Maupay
