Manchester United 1 Brighton 0 | Premier League | Old Trafford | Kick-off: 3pm | Saturday, 25 November, 2017

Manchester United stayed on the tail of League leaders Man City after a Lewis Dunk own goal gave them a laboured 1-0 win over Brighton at Old Trafford on Saturday.

United's 32-year old wing-back Ashley Young let fly from the the edge of the penalty area in the 66th minute and his shot took a heavy deflection off Dunk, leaving visiting goalkeeper Mathew Ryan rooted to the spot.

The winner settled an uneventful contest as Brighton's packed defence foiled waves of attacks by United's 4-3-3 formation, with Anthony Martial and Marcus Rashford deployed either side of striker Romelu Lukaku.

35 mins: Lukaku heads wide from a Valencia cross - other than that, it's been fairly comfortable so far for the Seagulls.
