ITV pundit Ian Wright and Sky Sports pundit Roy Keane have dropped their telling prediction for Manchester United’s forthcoming Premier League clash vs Brighton.

Manchester United will play their final match of October on Saturday, with the Red Devils hosting Brighton at Old Trafford for a 5:30pm UK kick-off time.

The Red Devils are riding a wave of momentum after United defeated Liverpool 2-1 at Anfield in a stunning Premier League performance under Ruben Amorim.

The narrative has once again shifted around United manager Ruben Amorim, who has picked up his first back-to-back Premier League wins as head coach at the club.

United defeated Sunderland 2-0 at Old Trafford ahead of the October international break and the Red Devils followed it up with their superb showing against Liverpool.

Ian Wright and Roy Keane’s Man Utd vs Brighton prediction had one eye-catching moment in it

Ian Wright, Roy Keane and Jill Scott teamed up once again for their head-to-head predictions against Gary Neville and Jamie Carragher for this weekend’s matches.

However, Jamie Carragher was absent on The Overlap and Paul Scholes replaced the Liverpool legend to partner alongside Manchester United legend Gary Neville.

Neville made an immediate prediction for United vs Brighton at Old Trafford and Wright could not help but tease the Sky Sports pundit after the Liverpool result.

“You just jumped on the Liverpool result,” Wright said to Neville.

“You’re just flying high. You’re like flying high on your own supply, [Gary].”

Wright then suggested that he could see United winning, but before he could suggest a scoreline, Keane interjected with a 2-1 result for the Red Devils.

“I do think United will win, but I don’t think,” Wright said, before getting cut off.

Keane then added: “2-1 United. You [Scott] got the next ones. I just jumped in.”

Ruben Amorim’s clear-cut message for Man Utd about the Premier League clash vs Brighton at Old Trafford

Speaking after United’s 2-1 win over Liverpool, Amorim explained why his players appeared tired and urged his team to look forward to the Brighton match.

“We are a team that controls the game with the ball,” he said, as per Manchester United’s official website.

Amorim added: “When you spend so much time without the ball, and that is not normal, we struggle a little bit. That is normal.

“Let’s enjoy the win but focus on what we have to improve to win [against] Brighton.”

United are ninth in the Premier League table ahead of the Brighton clash and the Red Devils are now only two points outside of the top four this season.
