Manchester United team news: Injury, suspension list vs. Brighton & Hove Albion

Sports Mole rounds up Manchester United's injury and suspension news ahead of Saturday's Premier League clash with Brighton & Hove Albion.

Since this article was published, this game has been called off due to a coronavirus outbreak in the Manchester United squad. A new date for the game will be confirmed in due course.
