They have enjoyed recent victories against Arsenal and Tottenham and last Saturday they were impressive as they walloped Wolves 3-0 at Molineux Stadium.

Manchester remain unconvincing under Ralf Rangnick and despite victory last time out against Brentford, the squad looks disjointed with many players facing an uncertain future.

"Brighton’s form in April was superb,” wrote Owen in his Bet Victor predictions blog.

"With wins away against Arsenal, Spurs and Wolves, they’ve shown themselves to be one of the best away sides in the league.

“I never know what Man United we are going to see, but I thought they played well on Monday against Brentford.

"Ronaldo is ending the season in great form, scoring in his last three.

"I won’t be surprised if he scores in this one as well, but I fancy Brighton to get the win. 2-1!”

Brighton midfielder Enock Mwepu has been ruled out against Manchester United because of a groin injury.

Boss Graham Potter has revealed that Mwepu is likely to miss the last three games of the Premier League season.

Jeremy Sarmiento will sit out United’s visit to the south coast because of a hamstring problem but Potter has said that otherwise Brighton are in good health.
