February 15, (THEWILL) – Manchester United will meet Brighton and Hove Albion in a Premier League encounter at Old Trafford on Tuesday evening, and they have been forced to make a late alteration to their lineup due to defender Raphael Varane’s illness.
The Red Devils, led by interim manager Ralf Rangnick, are ready for a tough match against Graham Potter’s Brighton and Hove Albion, who are unbeaten in their previous seven domestic fixtures despite being four places behind United.
United will face a difficult task in defeating the south coast side, who are clearly in good form and becoming increasingly difficult to break down. Their pre-match preparations have not been easy.
Rangnick had picked Varane in his starting lineup, but the French centre-back has been ruled out due to sickness with little over 30 minutes to go before kick-off.
The club’s official website revealed that Rangnick had been forced to replace Varane with Victor Lindelof. Tom Heaton, the backup goalkeeper, has been promoted to the bench to complete the lineup.
The match kicks off at 9:15 pm local time.
