Coach Erik ten Hag faces a number of tactical and injury-related decisions when MU plays Brighton on Saturday.
Antony’s absence opens up a big question on the right wing as second choice Jadon Sancho was left out of the squad after a public disagreement with Ten Hag.
MU will at least have Rasmus Hojlund after his debut from the bench against Arsenal before the international break. It is likely that the Danish striker will be placed in the starting lineup so that Alejandro Garnacho can take charge of the right-wing, and Marcus Rashford will play on the left.
Mason Mount is unlikely to return from a hamstring injury, while Amad Diallo is absent due to a knee problem. New signing Sofyan Amrabat is also a doubt after withdrawing from Morocco’s squad due to minor pain.
MU’s problems in defense are also not resolved when Luke Shaw, Tyrell Malacia, and Raphael Varane cannot return at this time, not to mention Ten Hag is also worried about Lisandro Martinez. The Argentine defender did not play despite going to South America for the World Cup qualifiers because of a leg injury that forced him to leave the field in the match against Arsenal.
For their part, Brighton is waiting to assess the physical condition of Evan Ferguson, who withdrew from the Republic of Ireland team due to a knee injury. If this 18-year-old striker who just scored a hat-trick is absent, former MU player Danny Welbeck can take the opportunity.
Expected lineup MU vs Brighton
MU: Onana; Wan-Bissaka, Lindelof, Martinez, Dalot; Eriksen, Casemiro; Garnacho, Fernandes, Rashford; Hojlund
Brighton: Verbruggen; Milner, Webster, Dunk, Estupinan; Gross, Gilmour; March, Fati, Mitoma, Pedro
