Late at night on May 19, Beijing time, the 38th round of the Premier League will usher in a high-profile focus game, the Red Devils
Manchester United Football Club
will be the visitors to challenge a solid
Brighton
The team. For Manchester United, this game is not only the finale of the season, but also a key battle for them to save face and boost their morale.
Looking back at Man U's performance this season, it is undoubtedly disappointing, after 37 rounds, they only achieved 17 wins, 6 draws and 14 losses, and ranked 8th in the EPL table with 57 points, which is almost their worst performance in recent seasons. With no hope of winning the title and the race for fourth place out of reach, this match against Brighton is more of a battle of honor for United.
Despite United's overall poor performance this season, manager Jens Ten Hagar is still hoping to draw a relatively successful conclusion to his side's campaign. In order to achieve this goal, he is likely to field the strongest starting lineup in his mind. Looking at the past meetings, United have only won 1, drew 1 and lost 4 of the last 6 meetings with Brighton, which shows that Brighton is indeed a big nemesis of United. Therefore, Ten Hag needs to work hard on his tactical arrangement and personnel selection to ensure that his team can get a good result in this match.
In terms of the starting lineup, Onana is expected to continue to hold the United goal; in the backline, the four-guard combination of Wan-Bissaka, Casemiro, Evans and Dalot will be the stalwart of the defense; in the midfield, the double-back combination of Sofyan Amrabat and Menu will be responsible for intercepting tackles, while B Faye will continue to serve as the core of the midfield and be responsible for organizing the attack; in the attacking end, the three-pronged combination of Gana Qiao, Amad Diaro and Rasmus Hoylen will be responsible for scoring breakthroughs. Diallo and Rasmus Hoylen's trident combination will be tasked with scoring on the break.
Of course, the result of the match does not depend entirely on the merits of the starting lineup, but also on the clinical play of the players in the match and the tactical arrangement of Ten Hagar. But no matter what, this game is an important test for United, and they need to prove their strength and value with practical actions.
For Man Utd fans, this match may not have the same passion and expectation as in the past, but they still want to see their team show their tenacity and excellent technical and tactical level in the last round of matches. For Ten Hagar, this game is also an important opportunity for him to prove his coaching ability.
All in all, the Premier League finale between Manchester United and Brighton will be a game full of variables and attractions. Although United is currently in a disadvantageous position, the charm of a soccer game lies in its unpredictability. Let's wait and see if Man U can pull off a comeback in this match and bring this season to a relatively successful end.
