Harry Redknapp has made a prediction for Manchester United’s Premier League clash against Brighton at Old Trafford on Sunday.
The former top-flight manager feels a ‘thriller’ could be on the cards as the Red Devils aim to win back-to-back home games under Ruben Amorim.
United defeated bottom-of-the-table Southampton 3-1 in their last Premier League match on Thursday night, with Amad Diallo scoring a hat-trick.
Brighton, meanwhile, will also be full of confidence given United’s problems with consistency mixed with their 2-0 win at Ipswich Town last time out.
Ahead of the United vs Brighton clash, Redknapp told BetVictor: ‘This could be a thriller.
‘Manchester United were awful against Southampton for the first 70 minutes, but what a finish to the game and what a big three points.
‘They’ll need to improve here though. Brighton cruised to the win over Ipswich and looked back to their best.

‘They’ve been a bit up and down this season, but I still look at this side and think they should be threatening the top six, there’s so much quality here.
‘I can see the Seagulls getting a lot of joy on the break with the pace and quality they’ve got in wide areas. I’m going for a high-scoring draw. Manchester United 2-2 Brighton.’

Quizzed for his ‘one to watch’, Redknapp added: ‘How can it not be Amad Diallo, he is on fire!
‘This lad never stops running and never stops trying to make things happen, he’s United’s best player by a mile at the minute.’
Brighton currently sit ninth in the Premier League table ahead of the next round of fixtures, with Fabian Hürzeler’s side three spots above 12th-placed United.
Goals from Kaoru Mitoma and Georginio Rutter helped the south coast club defeat Ipswich on Thursday while they also kept a clean sheet.
