Man Utd 1-2 Brighton LIVE SCORE: Mitoma fires Seagulls back in front following Bruno Fernandes penalty – updates

Man Utd 1-2 Brighton

71. Baleba mops up superbly as Garnacho threatens to burst into the box.

United didn't get going until the 82nd minute on Thursday, but their star man of that night - Amad Diallo - has gone missing in this half - so far.

Man Utd 1-2 Brighton

69. A double switch for the visitors.

Mr Brighton Solly March is on as he continues his recovery from an ACL injury, and he's joined by Georginio Rutter.

Yankuba Minteh departs with a goal and an assist to his name, and it's also the end of Danny Welbeck's return to Old Trafford.

67. Into the final quarter and despite United needing a goal, it's Brighton looking the more likely to score again.

The Seagulls are now finding so much room on the counter.

Darts champ Luke Littler – a boyhood United fan - was on the pitch parading his PDC World Crown at half-time.

But it might be the only silverware seen round these parts for a while.

It was Brighton that saw a goal by Joao Pedro harshly chalked off but they did hit the bullseye a few minutes later – with Mitoma converting a cross by Minteh.

United’s mini revival is in real danger of collapsing here.

Man Utd 1-2 Brighton

64. It's a double change for the Red Devils.

Ugarte is one of the players to make way and the other is Kobbie Mainoo, who has struggled to get into the game.

Alejandro Garnacho and former Brighton academy player Toby Collyer are on in their place.

62. To add insult to injury, Manuel Ugarte was booked for his challenge on Yasin Ayari in the build-up to Brighton goal.

In might have been his last action of the game too with Ruben Amorim preparing changes.

57. At the other end of the pitch, another set-piece is almost perfect for De Light.

Fernandes' delivery just brushes off the head of the centre-back.

53. Brighton are back in front!! Or are they?!

An awful free-kick into the area from Yasin Ayari after the midfielder had slipped causes chaos, but eventually it falls to Joao Pedro.

An excellent first touch from the Brazilian takes him away from Joshua Zirkzee, and his second sees him power low under Andre Onana.

The Seagulls celebrate but inside the area Diogo Dalot is down and complaining about a challenge on him.

The video officials take a close look and decide that Jan Paul van Hecke and kicked the underside of Dalot's boot a split second after he cleared the ball.

Peter Bankes is sent to the pitchside monitor and he echoes VAR's ruling, disallowing the goal for a supposed foul.

A lucky escape for Manchester United.

Man Utd 1-1 Brighton

51. You get the feeling that the next goal in this one will prove crucial.

As it happens, both sides have scored with their only shots on target.

Man Utd 1-1 Brighton

49. Amad has his tail up as he attacks the goal in which he scored three on Thursday.

Cutting inside from the right, he lets fly with a shot that is blocked bravely by a defender.

Man Utd 1-1 Brighton

47. A sore one for Harry Maguire, who gets in the way of a Baleba blaster at the start of the second half.

Credit to the centre-back though, he didn't even go down.

Kick-off - Man Utd 1-1 Brighton

46. We're back at it at Old Trafford where Manchester United are attacking the Stretford End.

Can they prevail in this one with the help of the end where Denis Law was crowned king?

First half facts and figures

From Graeme Bryce at the City Ground

It's men against boys here and Forest already have this game in the bag.

Chris Wood - who else? - added a third with a header just before the break to make it 3-0.

Saints simply can't match Forest's work ethic - their defensive solidity - or firepower.

Ivan Juric will be furious at how easily his side has surrendered goals, with two starting from throw-ins when they gave Morgan Gibbs-White the freedom of the City Ground.

The Premier League's worst team are living up to their pre-match billing - Forest meanwhile are showing true Champions League form.

From Martin Blackburn at Old Trafford

Credit to United for the way they fought back into the game.

Given their recent record against the Seagulls, they could have folded when Minteh gave the visitors an early lead.

Fans certainly feared the worst – but would have been heartened by the response.

Zirkzee won the home team a penalty which Fernandes converted and this game is very much in the balance.

Half-time - Man Utd 1-1 Brighton

The first half comes to a close on what has been an emotional afternoon following the passing of Denis Law.

An emotional Old Trafford were caught cold by an early Yankuba Minteh goal, but were cheered by the way that Manchester United fought back.

A Bruno Fernandes penalty brought Ruben Amorim's team level, and this one will have all to play for in the second period.

Man Utd 1-1 Brighton

45. Maguire gets his head on the resulting free-kick, but fails to steer his header on target from the back post.

Again though, the offside flag had already gone up with the Brighton defence holding their line brilliantly.

Man Utd 1-1 Brighton

44. Mitoma is fortunate not to become the third Brighton man in the book.

The forward clearly pulls back Amad after the United winger had escaped along the near touchline.

Peter Bankes is satisfied that a free-kick to the hosts will suffice.

Man Utd 1-1 Brighton

42. Yankuba Minteh becomes the second Brighton player to have his name taken by Peter Bankes.

The Brighton goalscorer is cautioned for a rash challenge on Matthijs de Ligt.

Minteh joins Carlos Baleba on a yellow card.

Man Utd 1-1 Brighton

40. Amad is slipped through on goal, but a heavy touch as he attempts to move around Verbruggen takes him far too wide to find the net.

Thankfully for the winger, a belated offside flag spares his blushes.

Elsewhere, high-flying Nottingham Forest have a third against bottom-of-the-table Southampton.

37. Brighton work the ball well outside the United penalty area, but the whistle blows just as Joao Pedro is lining up a blaster.

Turns out Ayari had followed through and caught Maguire in his attempt to tee up the Brazilian.

Man Utd 1-1 Brighton

35. After a troubled beginning to his time at Old Trafford, Zirkzee is beginning to look a real asset.

His hold-up and link-up play has been excellent this afternoon.

33. The first half hour flew by at Old Trafford but the game has entered a slight lull as both teams catch a breather.

That ends quickly though when De Ligt clatters Welbeck.
