BREAKING: Ruben Amorim hints at Man Utd transfer decision ahead of Brighton clash
Ruben Amorim has named his starting XI for Manchester United's home game against Brighton in the Premier League at Old Trafford - and there's a hint towards a future move
by Felix Keith · The MirrorRuben Amorim has left Antony out of the Manchester United starting XI for their Premier League game against Brighton.
Amorim has rotated his team for the game, which comes just three days after the 3-1 win over Southampton, with Harry Maguire, Joshua Zirkzee and Diogo Dalot coming into the line-up. That means Lisandro Martinez, Rasmus Hojlund and Alejandro Garnacho drop to the bench, where Antony remains.
The Brazilian winger is close to joining Real Betis on loan in the January transfer window, having fallen down the pecking order at United. He got onto the pitch in the second half against Southampton, but could be about to be involved for the final time this season.
Man Utd XI: Onana; Maguire, De Ligt, Yoro; Dalot, Mainoo, Ugarte, Mazraoui; Fernandes, Amad, Zirkzee.
United come into the game on the back of an improved run of results, albeit with inconsistency still very much present in the performances. Amorim's side drew 2-2 with Liverpool at Anfield earlier this month before coming through on penalties against Arsenal in the third round of the FA Cup, despite playing most of the match with 10 men.
They followed that up with a very unimpressive 3-1 win over bottom side Southampton on Thursday, which needed a late hat-trick from Amad to settle things.
United begin their 2pm kick-off on Sunday in 13th place in the Premier League on 26 points from 21 games.
