Ralf Rangnick’s penultimate fixture in charge of the Red Devils comes with a tough test at the Amex Stadium this evening.
United ended their home campaign on a relatively positive note last time out against Brentford, with Cristiano Ronaldo going some way into proving he is not yet done.
Still, United’s major problems of late have come from their lack of consistency under Rangnick and Brighton have raised their game against the bigger teams of late.
As much of a goodbye as a number of their players were afforded at Old Trafford, a win over a Brentford side with little to play for will do little to change the mood around the club at the moment. The Champions League is now a distant dream.

DISALLOWED GOAL!
