Prediction: 0-1
Manchester United
Manchester United will be aiming to build on a hard-fought 2-1 win over Leicester City when they take on Brighton at the American Express Community Stadium on Sunday afternoon. The Red Devils did defeat the Foxes in their opener, but their performance was anything but impressive. Romelu Lukaku is likely to return to the starting line-up and he should help the last season’s runners-up improve offensively. Alexis Sanchez will be yet another man to watch in the away team and El Nino Maravilloso is likely to pose a big threat for the opposition defenders. The Seagulls failed to impress in a 2-0 loss to Watford at the weekend and we do not believe that they are going to claim a major scalp on day 2 of the new Premier League campaign. In their last meeting in the English top flight Brighton defeated Man Utd, meaning that Jose Mourinho’s men are hungry for revenge.

Speaking of his international career, Alireza JahanBakhsh scored two goals for Iran on the road to Russia and he will represent his homeland at the 2018 FIFA World Cup finals. Due to his style of play, Jahanbakhsh has always been compared to legendary Iranian footballer Mehdi Mahdavikia.
Highlighted Team (Manchester United):
Over the years Manchester United have established themselves as one of the greatest clubs in world football. The Red Devils have won three European Cup (Champions League) trophies and they have clinched no less than 20 Premier League titles. A number of top-class players were part of Manchester United in the past, but, no doubt, the club’s biggest legend is coach Sir Alex Ferguson, who was in charge of the team for 26 years. During Alex Ferguson’s spell at Old Trafford the club won a number of trophies, but the Red Devils have been struggling in all competitions ever since he retired. Louis van Gaal helped Manchester United win the FA Cup trophy in the 2015/2016 season, with Jese Lingard scoring the winner in the 2-1 triumph over Crystal Palace at Wembley Stadium. The likes of Bobby Charlton, Paul Scholes, Roy Keane, Ruud van Nistelrooy, Wayne Rooney, Cristiano Ronaldo, George Best and Eric Cantona are the football stars that graced Old Trafford for Manchester United.
