    Barely 20 minutes in and when United attacks break down there’s four or five United players being completely bypassed by Brighton’s counter and they’re not even trying to get back. Attitude or fatigue, neither a good sign after 20 minutes.

    Solly March is going to carry on for now. Now Bruno Fernandes is down after being caught by Danny Welbeck. Welbeck offers a hand to help his opponent up but Fernandes is unwilling to take it.

    Solly March has made huge progression under Roberto de Zerbi. His end product is much better and his final third thinking too.

    This injury doesn't look too positive for him. It will be a big blow for Brighton if he has to go off.

    Worrying scenes for Brighton. Solly March is down on the pitch receiving treatment. He looks in pain. They won't want to be making any changes so early in the game.

    Bruno Fernandes is so clever.

    He keeps popping up in little pockets and he's so hard to track.

    He drifts into midfield then plays high and Brighton lose him.

    Roberto de Zerbi will be pleased with what he has seen. Brighton are so confident going forward. Their latest attack sees Kaoru Mitoma get it all wrong after United fail to get it clear. Encouraging signs though for the Seagulls.

    It was stuck in the middle of Enciso's feet and he's trying to manipulate it with the outside of his right foot.

    He was superb against Chelsea and it's no surprise he's been given the start today. He's a real talent.

    In addition to coming closest to scoring with his excellent free-kick, Alexis Mac Allister is finding little pockets of space around Manchester United's defensive line.

    The World Cup winner has superb vision, which allows him to pick out team-mates.

    He will cause United problems if they don't start closing him down.

    Brighton's fans clearly noted Manchester United keeper David de Gea's awful performance with the ball at his feet during the Europa League loss to Sevilla. Every time the ball is played to him huge roars go up from those in blue and white hoping for a mistake.

    Pascal Gross goes sprawling on the hard surface by the advertising hoardings after a challenge with Antony.

    He doesn't make a fuss about it and play quickly resumes with Julio Enciso sending an effort narrowly wide of David de Gea's post.

    It seems like United are happy to let Brighton have the ball and try to hit on the counter with the likes of Rashford and Antony using their pace in behind.

    Great noise from Brighton's fans. Good to see there are not as many empty seats at Wembley as there were yesterday.

    Antony has improved a lot recently. He gets back a lot more now and helps out his full back.

    That save will have done De Gea the world of good following his unhappy night in Sevilla.

    And it's World Cup winner Alexis Mac Allister who takes it but David de Gea has it covered. It's a good save by the United keeper who is hampered by the late afternoon sunshine.

    Clumsy by Antony, who concedes a free-kick right on the edge of his penalty area. Great early chance for Brighton to take the lead. Alexis Mac Allister is standing over the ball.
