The Reds had to battle to win their first weekend match at home against Fulham, as summer addition Joshua Zirkzee scored the game-winning goal off the bench in a dream debut.
At Old Trafford, United appeared to be a more cohesive team overall, but they will be put to the test against the competitive Seagulls team.
Recruitment chiefs at United will be watching the trip to the south coast on Saturday, but their main priority is still to bolster Ten Hag's team.
Manuel Ugarte's transfer to Old Trafford is getting closer after he was once again left out of Paris Saint-Germain's weekend lineup. Additionally, an agreement has been reached to sign Guidars FC's 18-year-old defensive midfielder Sékou Koné, although the club is not yet done.
Twistok.com has compiled some of the most recent news on the team in light of all of that.
Increased attention in the midfield
According to rumors, United is interested in André from Fluminense and may try to add him to their midfield in the final week of the transfer market.
Although no formal offer has been made, TNT Sports Brazil reports that "negotiations" have started between the player and the club. Wolves, a rival in the Premier League, are also rumored to be interested.
Ugarte's transfer is getting closer, but PSG's unwillingness to drop their asking price of €60 million (£50.8 million) has slowed things down.
Negotiations are still going on over a possible loan with a purchase commitment. Consequently, hiring managers appear to be making backup arrangements and are rumored to have considered André.
The 23-year-old is currently in his fourth season as a fixture in the first squad at Fluminense.
Fulham is believed to have expressed interest in the player in the past and has not followed through on a £25 million move.
Whether United follows suit or manages to get a deal done for Ugarte is still to be seen.
Sancho exit route
Jadon Sancho could be offered a lifeline from Italy with reports of ‘firm interest’ coming from Juventus.
Sky Sports reporter Dharmesh Sheth claims the Serie A giants are ‘exploring the conditions’ of a deal and have already held talks over personal terms with the out-of-favour winger.
After last season's controversy and his January loan move to Borussia Dortmund, Sancho was welcomed back by Ten Hag but is still not playing for United's first squad. The 28-year-old is now behind Alejandro Garnacho, Amad Diallo, and Antony for the right wing position. He was not included in the squad for Fulham's visit last weekend.
Sheth continues, saying that although there is no indication of the kind of offer that would bring United to the table, they would be "open" to appropriate ones. Executives at the club are eager to recover a significant amount of the £73 million they paid for the England international just three years prior. Sancho's Reds contract is set to expire in two years.
