The final round of matches in the 2023-24 Premier League season comes to a close, and at the Amex Stadium, Manchester United score twice late on to seal a 2-0 victory over Brighton! The Seagulls continued their free-flowing attacking performance from the first half, but couldn't breach the Red Devils' defence with Pedro having a shot cleared off the line and Lallana having another blocked within seconds of one another in the best chance of the early stages. United grew into the game as the second period progressed and created opportunities for Garnacho, McTominay and Diallo, before the left-back Dalot popped up in the box to send a clinical finish beyond Steele! Hojlund rubber-stamped the points with injury time looming, skipping through the Seagulls defence before finishing in clinical fashion. Brighton will end the season in 11th place, while three points for Erik ten Hag's side aren't quite enough to lift them above eighth into the European places, with Chelsea and Newcastle also winning on the final day to confirm United's lowest-ever Premier League finish.

Newcastle have restored their two-goal lead away at Brentford, meaning it's going to take the latest of late comebacks from the Bees to give Manchester United a leg-up into seventh place, regardless of the full-time result at the Amex.

Brighton & Hove Albion vs Manchester United

Garnacho steps in-field off the right and tries a left-footed shot at goal, but Brighton have things covered and it's an easy effort for Webster to get in the way of.

Brighton & Hove Albion vs Manchester United
17:37
Brentford have recovered from 3-0 down to trail 3-2 at home against Newcastle in their corresponding final day match, and if they can draw level, Manchester United seeing out a victory here would send them above the Magpies into seventh!

Brighton look to be readying substitutes, but it remains to be seen whether Webster will be withdrawn as part of those changes as he receives further treatment on the sideline.
Brighton & Hove Albion vs Manchester United
17:32
Webster fires a simple aerial ball straight out of play and is berated by De Zerbi, but points to his eye and is soon receiving treatment by the Brighton physio team. It's certainly an elaborate bluff if he's just trying to excuse his poor pass, but that block on Garnacho's earlier shot appears to be what's caused the problem.
Brighton & Hove Albion vs Manchester United
17:28
Substitution Sofyan Amrabat Raphaël Xavier Varane
Brighton & Hove Albion vs Manchester United
17:27

17:14
WIDE!!! Brighton continue to push the envelope and Adingra hooks a cross back for Pedro, who is put off by Casemiro and sends his glancing header straight into Onana's gloves!!
Brighton & Hove Albion vs Manchester United
17:12
OFF THE LINE!!! Brighton go within inches!! Gross' clipped wide ball to Moder is nodded back across the face of goal, and comes to Pedro whose close-range shot is somehow blocked on the line by Casemiro and Wan-Bissaka!!! Gross keeps the chance alive and finds Lallana in the box, and his effort too is blocked by Casemiro to send it behind for a corner!!
Brighton & Hove Albion vs Manchester United
17:09
CHANCE!!! Pedro cuts inside off the left with a mazy run and tees up Gross, whose first-time shot through the crowd ricochets off Barco and goes behind for a goal-kick!!

Brighton & Hove Albion vs Manchester United
17:05
With Newcastle 3-0 up in their corresponding final day match at Brentford, Manchester United look destined for an eighth-placed finish in the Premier League this season, and it's certainly their opposition Brighton who appear to be in the ascendancy at the moment as Pedro kicks off the second half - the Seagulls' final 45 minutes under the tutelage of Roberto De Zerbi!!
Brighton & Hove Albion vs Manchester United
17:02
Pedro has spearheaded the Brighton attack in sensational fashion so far, having six touches in the box and firing off two shots, both of which were off-target. He's also managed 10 final-third passes, creating one big chance for Lallana, and has won four of his five duels, including two dribbles from three, turning possession over on three occasions via a tackle, an interception, and winning a free-kick for the Seagulls.
Brighton & Hove Albion vs Manchester United
16:57
That's the half-time whistle, and so far we're goalless at the Amex despite a whole host of chances for the hosts Brighton! Defender Webster alone has had three opportunities, heading over and wide either side of having a goalbound effort cleared off the line by Martinez. Manchester United goalkeeper Onana has also been tested by Barco, Moder and Pedro, who also fired beyond the upright from close range. The Red Devils have been restricted to two efforts from McTominay and Garnacho, both from tight angles, and must improve through the middle of the pitch, particularly defensively, if they're to get anything whatsoever out of this game.
Brighton & Hove Albion vs Manchester United
16:50
HALF-TIME: BRIGHTON 0-0 MANCHESTER UNITED.

SAVED!!! Garnacho beats Moder with a gliding run in behind and tries to find the bottom corner from an acute angle, but Steele's got his near post covered and parries behind for a rare Red Devils corner!
Brighton & Hove Albion vs Manchester United
16:45
Brighton have already generated 0.91 xG and maintained 64.2 per cent of possession in the first half - it's been one-way traffic so far on the south coast.
Brighton & Hove Albion vs Manchester United
16:45
More great football from Brighton sees Welbeck, Lallana and Gross all combine on the edge of the box, but Casemiro steps in to make a vital interception for United.
Brighton & Hove Albion vs Manchester United
16:43
CHANCE!!! Brighton turn possession over easily and Pedro plays a fantastic pass through to Lallana in the box. He attempts a snap-shot, but Amrabat's there to block and the Seagulls captain shepherds the ball behind for an Albion corner.
Brighton & Hove Albion vs Manchester United
16:42
Acres of space open up for Barco on the left edge and his fires an early cross into the middle, but there's no-one present in blue and white as Onana makes a routine catch.
Brighton & Hove Albion vs Manchester United
16:38
Lallana tries to skip away from Casemiro and gets a shot away on the edge of the box, but a deflection off the Brazilian takes all power out of the effort and Onana can easily collect for Manchester United.
Brighton & Hove Albion vs Manchester United
16:38
Brighton have got the better of Manchester United of late with wins in four straight clashes, dating to May 2022. The Seagulls have outscored United 10-2 during their winning streak, and with the chances they've created so far look like they're doing their best to recreate that combined scoreline here!
Brighton & Hove Albion vs Manchester United
16:37
WIDE!!!! How on earth are Brighton not 1-0 up?? Pedro and Lallana play a delightful one-two in the box and the Seagulls captain lays it off to his striker. Pedro steps beyond Dalot with ease and looks for the far corner with a shot across the face of goal, but drags it just wide of the post with Onana rooted to the spot!!
Brighton & Hove Albion vs Manchester United
16:35
Some glorious link-up play from Brighton sees Welbeck and Lallana combine to send Adingra careering into space down the right, but the Cameroonian's drilled cross is swept clear by Casemiro!!
Brighton & Hove Albion vs Manchester United
16:33
BLOCKED!!! Brighton go within a whisker of opening the scoring!! Barco's cross is flush onto the head of Webster, whose downward header is goalbound before Martinez crucially sticks out a leg to deflect it over the crossbar and behind!!
Brighton & Hove Albion vs Manchester United
16:32
Adingra's low cross into Pedro sees the Brazilian pull the ball back for Baleba, whose first-time shot takes a deflection and skews behind for a corner!
Brighton & Hove Albion vs Manchester United
16:30
WIDE!!!! Fernandes saunters over halfway on the counter-attack and splits Brighton down the middle before playing in McTominay to his right. The Scot goes hard and low, but can only find the side netting with a powerful strike!!
Brighton & Hove Albion vs Manchester United
16:30
A fantastic cross-field pass from Webster picks out Barco on the left, and although he beats Wan-Bissaka on the inside, the Argentine's looping cross towards Pedro is an easy one for Martinez to head clear.
Brighton & Hove Albion vs Manchester United
16:28
WIDE!!! The Seagulls' free-kick is played wide to Barco, who fires a cross into the middle which Webster gets up to but can only glance wide of the far post!!! That's two chances in as many minutes for the centre-back!

BLOCKED!!! Pedro drops a shoulder and charges into the United box, but Wan-Bissaka's there in cover and gets across to block the Brazilian's attempt!

Brighton & Hove Albion vs Manchester United
16:24
SAVED!!!! Brighton win a free-kick which is whipped low into the area by Gross, and Moder's deft touch flicks the ball goalwards and forces Onana into a low save to his right!!

16:24
Yellow Card Sofyan Amrabat
Brighton & Hove Albion vs Manchester United
16:20
Adingra shows some nice feet to roll the ball through Dalot's legs before being stopped by the defender, who drags him to the floor. He is lucky to get away without a yellow card.
Brighton & Hove Albion vs Manchester United
16:18
Brighton have started brightly and are putting United under plenty of pressure. Moder has been excellent on the right and has already won two of his three duels.
Brighton & Hove Albion vs Manchester United
16:17
CHANCE! Barco gains possession on the left and is in plenty of space outside the box. He turns past Wan-Bissaka before driving a low shot on target, but Onana sticks out his leg to make a good save. That would have been a fantastic way for Barco to score his first Premier League goal!
Brighton & Hove Albion vs Manchester United
16:15
Mainoo wins possession off Pedro in Brighton's half and slips a pass into Fernandes, who goes from an ambitious chip from distance. However, Steele collects it easily. Mainoo goes down and looks hurt after his challenge but quickly gets back to his feet.
Brighton & Hove Albion vs Manchester United
16:12
TACKLE! Casemiro has time in possession just inside United's half and lifts a wonderful pass down the middle of the pitch and through to Garnacho. The winger darts inside from the left and takes a strong touch, but Moder slides across to take it away from the Argentine before he can get a shot away.
Brighton & Hove Albion vs Manchester United
16:10
Moder shows some tricky feet to dart down the right before combining with Gross in the midfield, but a loose touch helps Wan-Bissaka get across and clear the danger. Moder is playing at Brighton's right-back in a surprising change of shape.
Brighton & Hove Albion vs Manchester United
16:08
OVER! The first chance goes to Brighton! Gross has a corner on the left, and he swings his cross high towards the back post. Webster gets above Wan-Bissaka but heads his effort high over the bar from a tight angle.
Brighton & Hove Albion vs Manchester United
16:06
Brighton have enjoyed a long spell of possession and are pushing the ball around the halfway line. United are looking to put them under pressure and are making it difficult for the Seagulls to progress forward.
Brighton & Hove Albion vs Manchester United
16:04
It will be interesting to see if it takes Brighton time to get into the contest after making six changes to the side that lost to Chelsea. They will be hoping for a repeat of their 3-1 win against United at Old Trafford from earlier this season. Welbeck, Gross and Pedro all scored and start today.
Brighton & Hove Albion vs Manchester United

16:00
Brighton have won each of their last four Premier League games against United – the last side to beat the Red Devils in five consecutive league games was Norwich City between 1988 and 1990. Both teams are on the pitch and are ready to get started.
Brighton & Hove Albion vs Manchester United
15:50
United make one change to the side that beat Newcastle 3-2. Martinez makes his first start since February and replaces Evans at centre-back. Varane has missed the previous seven games through injury but is back on the bench. He is leaving at the end of the season and could make his final Premier League appearance for the Red Devils.
Brighton & Hove Albion vs Manchester United
15:44
Brighton makes six changes to the side that lost 2-1 to Chelsea in their previous Premier League outing. Steele starts in goal instead of Verbruggen, with two alterations occurring in the defence. Lewis Dunk is out of the squad with a knee injury, and Lamptey drops onto the bench, with Barco arriving in at left-back and Gross moving to right-back. The German leaves a space in the midfield, meaning Baleba comes in, with Moder also replacing Gilmour. Lallana is chosen as the captain on his final Seagulls appearances and is picked ahead of Enciso. Finally, Welbeck appears up front. Pedro switches over to the wing, and Buonanotte misses out.

United ended a three-game winless run in the Premier League with a narrow 3-2 victory against Newcastle United in their previous outing, with Kobbie Mainoo, Amad Diallo and Rasmus Hojlund all scoring to keep the Red Devils' hopes of securing European football next season alive. The visitors have lost a club-record 14 league games and are in eighth position after a disappointing campaign. Erik ten Hag's men are behind the Magpies on goal difference after collecting 57 points. However, they will secure a place in the Europa Conference League if they better Newcastle's result against Brentford. The visitors could also qualify for Europe if they beat Manchester City in the FA Cup final, but they will want to end their league season on a high today.
Brighton & Hove Albion vs Manchester United
15:30
Brighton head coach Roberto de Zerbi is taking charge of the Seagulls for the final time after it was announced that he would be leaving the club after their season-ending fixture against United. The Italian replaced Graham Potter in September 2022, leading Albion to sixth place last season, their highest-ever finish in the top flight to get them into the Europa League for the first time in the club's history. Brighton won Group A but were knocked out at the last 16 stage by Roma. The hosts have endured a difficult period, only winning one of their previous eight Premier League games and are in 10th position, losing 2-1 to Chelsea in their last match. The Seagulls cannot overtake West Ham in ninth but could drop down as far as 13th place if they lose and other results go against them.
