Manchester United have raced into an early 2-0 lead over Brighton thanks to goals from Andreas Pereira and Scott McTominay.

The Red Devils have not had the best start to the season so could do with a bit more luck on their side, and they got it here with two scrappy efforts.

Next, McTominay bundled home from close range to make it 2-0 just two minutes later, with Brighton defending a United set piece very poorly.

This also had to be checked by VAR before it was given, so Man Utd can feel a little fortunate to already be in such a commanding position…
