Brighton vs Man United: Match Preview
Brighton & Hove Albion have cruised through the FA Cup thus far, scoring five goals twice while beating Liverpool in the fourth round. On the other hand, Manchester United reached the semi-finals by clinching four back-to-back 3-1 wins, with Everton, Reading, West Ham United, and Fulham falling prey at their hands.
But the two teams have blown hot and cold, as far as their recent form is concerned. Brighton & Hove Albion last won back-to-back matches over a month ago. On the other hand, Manchester United ended a four-game unbeaten run by losing 3-0 to Sevilla on Thursday to crash out of the UEFA Europa League.
Brighton and Manchester United have already clashed once this season, with the Seagulls beating the Red Devils 2-1 at Old Trafford in August.
Team News:
Brighton:
Robert De Zerbi has a few injury issues to contend with. Exciting young striker Evan Ferguson and defender Joel Veltman have both been sidelined for a few weeks, meaning Pascal Gross may play at right-back with Danny Welbeck up front.
â Brighton & Hove Albion (@OfficialBHAFC) April 22, 2023
Jason Steele will be assessed after missing the win at Chelsea, but the likes of Adam Lallana, Tariq Lamptey and Jeremy Sarmiento remain absent.
There could be a significant start for young Julio Enciso, who scored the winner over the Blues last time out.
Man United:
Ten Hag will also miss many of his key players. Lisandro Martinez, Donny van de Beek, Raphael Varane, Tom Heaton, Phil Jones, and Alejandro Garnacho are all out, whereas given that he is recovering from a knock, Scott McTominay might not be rushed into this fixture.
After netting his first United goal in the previous round, Marcel is eager to make an impact at Wembley ð#MUFC || #FACup
With both first-choice central defenders out injured, the old duo of Victor Lindelof and Harry Maguire are likely to be back. Casemiro and Christian Erikson could form a midfield pivot, while Anthony Martial could play up front with Marcus Rashford on the right flank.
Brighton vs Man United: Head to Head:
Manchester United holds the upper hand when it comes to head-to-head records. These two teams have met 29 times previously, where the Red Devils have won 19 games. Brighton has won only five games, while the other five matches ended in draws.
The last meeting, which was back in August in the Premier League, resulted in a 2-1 win for Brighton. Pascal Gross scored a brace for the Seagulls, whereas for ten Hag's side, Argentine midfielder Alexis Mac Allister netted an own goal.

Whenever a new transfer window arrives, with more money coming into the game, we see more spending and expensive buys from clubs around the world. However, along with experienced and proven footballers, football clubs always tend to buy new, exciting teenage footballers, even before they become stars.
Today, in this article, we will list the 20 most expensive teenagers in football transfer history.
20 Most expensive teenagers in football transfer history
Please note that the fee is based on Transfermarkt's data and is accurate as of August 7, 2025.
20. Javier Saviola – River Plate to FC Barcelona – 2001 – €35.90m (Age 19)
Image | FC Barcelona
Javier Saviola's transfer to FC Barcelona from River Plate was the record fee for any teenager till it was later broken by Wayne Rooney. After scoring 24 goals in 41 matches, besides his 11 assists for River Plate, while winning the Argentine league in consecutive years, Saviola became the star FC Barcelona were looking for.
However, the transfer did not work that well for both him and the club as he was loaned out many times and went to play for Real Madrid in future as well.Saviola was recently the assistant manager of the Barcelona U19 team as well.
19. Josko Gvardiol – Dinamo Zagreb to RB Leipzig – 2021 – €36.8m (Age 19)
Image | transfermarkt.com
A Croatian defensive prodigy, Gvardiol impressed with his versatility and speed by playing as a ball-playing centre-back and left-back. His performances for Dinamo Zagreb and Croatia’s national team stirred RB Leipzig to break their transfer record.
Along with skill, Josko Gvardiol's physical strength and tactical intelligence made Leipzig pay €36.8m for the defender in 2021.
Two years later, Leipzig sold Gavrdiol to Manchester City for a whopping €90.00m.
18. Wayne Rooney – Everton to Manchester United – 2004 – €37m (Age 18)
Rooney with the fan who wanted United to buy him. Image | manchesterunited.com
One of England’sgreatest ever talents, Rooney was signed for a then-record fee for a teenager. His all-around attacking prowess, vision, and finishing skill justified the huge investment.
In the 2003/04 season for Everton, Rooney had already scored nine goals in the Premier League as a teenager, which made Sir Alex Ferguson sign the youngster for a record €37m.
Rooney became Manchester United’s all-time leading scorer with 253 goals in 559 official games, winning five Premier League titles and a Champions League trophy.
17. Luke Shaw – Southampton to Manchester United – 2014/15 – €37.5m (Age 18)
Image | MUFC on X
A highly rated left-back, Shaw was signed for his blend of strong defensive skills and speed. He was seen as the next big defender from England after John Terry, as he had done quite well at Southampton and England U-21s then.
Luke Shaw was bought by Manchester United in 2014 with a transfer fee of €37.5 million, making him one of the most expensive teenage footballers ever.
Despite serious injury setbacks, he has developed into a dependable member of United’s backline since then and continues to be a member of Ruben Amorim's team.
16. Yankuba Minteh – Newcastle United to Brighton – 2024 – €38.8m (Age 19)
Image | Brighton
A direct, pacey Gambian forward, Yankuba Minteh, earned his big move as Brighton always invests in young, aggressive talents to shape their Premier League competitiveness and future development.
Newcastle United were the first to sign him, but sent him on loan to Feyenoord, where he scored 11 goals and had five assists. Brighton then signed him permanently in the 2024/25 season, for €38.8m, making him one of the most expensive teenagers in football transfer history.
Last season, he had 12 goal contributions for Brighton in the Premier League.
Dejan after signing for Juventus. Image | Juventus
Dejan Kulusevski, the Swedish winger, scored 10 goals and assisted 9 times in Serie A in the 2019-20 season, leading Juventus to pay a premium to have him in the Winter transfer window.
Although he was brought to Turin with a €39m transfer fee from Atalanta BC, he was soon loaned out to Parma and Tottenham Hotspur. In 2023, he was eventually bought by Spurs with a transfer fee of €30.00 million.
14. Fabio Silva – Porto to Wolves – 2020/21 – €40m (Age 18)
Image | Wolves
Portuguese striker Fabio Silva came with impressive youth goal-scoring records for FC Porto U19 and the FC Porto team from the 2018-2020 season. Seeing his talent, Wolves paid a significant fee of €40m, hoping that his technical finishing and physicality would translate well into Premier League success.
However, he was soon loaned to various clubs. Last season, he joined the team after spending a season at UD Las Palmas on loan.
13. Vitor Roque – Athletico Paranaense to FC Barcelona – 2024 – €40m (Age 19)
Image | FC Barcelona
Barcelona acquired Roque to bolster their attack during a rebuilding phase. Known for his goal instinct, technical skill, and agile movement, Roque had scored 21 goals in 45 games for the Brazilian club Paranaense to attract a €40m bid from the Catalan club.
However, after only 2 goals in 16 games for the Spanish, he was sent back on loan to Real Betis and eventually signed for Palmeiras last season.
12. Archie Gray – Leeds United to Tottenham Hotspur – 2024 – €41.25m (Age 19)
Image | Spurs News
A promising English defensive midfielder, Archie Gray, made a high-profile resume after winning the U21 Euros and doing well for Leeds United.
This helped Tottenham sign him for €41.25m in 2024 as they continued to focus on developing young home-grown talent.
Archie played 28 Premier League and 11 Europa League games for Spurs in his first season at the club.
11. Jorrel Hato – Ajax to Chelsea – 2025 – €44.18m (Age 19)
Image | Chelsea FC
Dutch defender Jorrel Hato, who came through Ajax’s ranks, secured a big move to Chelsea. With Enzo Maresca and Chelsea’s long-term strategic vision for rebuilding their defence, Hato was supposed to be the next big thing for the Blues.
The left-back has a knack for scoring and contributing to goals as well. He had eight goal contributions in the 2024/25 Eredivisie for Ajax.
10. Franco Mastantuono – River Plate to Real Madrid - 2025 - €45m (Age 18)
Image | Fabrizio Romano/X
With a €45 million coming on 14th August 2025, Argentine U21 star Franco Mastantuono is all set to be the most expensive teenager in the football transfer window of the 2025/26 season.
The right-winger had a successful 2024/25 season with River Plate, scoring seven times in 22 games along with four assists, which led him to make his senior debut for Argentina as well.
9. Vinicius Jr. – Flamengo to Real Madrid – 2018 – €45m (Age 18)
Image | Real Madrid on X
Real Madrid and Brazilian youngsters have always been a love affair made in heaven. After scoring 10 goals and assisting four times in 32 goals for Flamengo in the 2017-18 season, Vinicius Jr.’s electrifying pace, dribbling, and flair made him a valued acquisition for Real Madrid.
Vinicius was brought to Real Madrid for €45m, which made him one of the most expensive teenagers in world football of the last decade.
Despite a slow start, he developed into a key player, helping Madrid win three La Liga titles and two UEFA Champions League trophies.
8. Rodrygo – Santos to Real Madrid – 2019 – €45m (Age 18)
Image | Real Madrid on X
As I was saying, Real Madrid and Brazilian teenage stars stand in a love affair made in heaven.
Following Vinicius Jr., Rodrygo was signed to strengthen Real Madrid’s attack with a versatile winger capable of playing across the frontline. Rodrygo had already done well for Santos in the previous season, which caught the eyes of Los Blancos, and soon he was signed for €45m
Since then, he has won three La Liga titles and two Champions League titles with the club, while scoring 68 crucial goals and providing 51 assists.
7. Endrick – Palmeiras to Real Madrid – 2024 – €47.5m (Age 18)
Image | Real Madrid on X
Now it would be boring for you if I repeated the same thing. Butwhat can I do if we have three back-to-back, same transfer patterns on our list of the most expensive teenagers in football transfer history?
Hailed as one of Brazil’s brightest prospects, Endrick’s prolific youth scoring and sharp finishing caught the eye of Real Madrid.
Endrick was brought to Bernabeu by Carlo Ancelotti after he helped Palmeiras win the Brazilian league in successive previous seasons.
6. Anthony Martial – Monaco to Manchester United – 2015 – €60m (Age 19)
🗓️ On this day in 2015...
Anthony Martial introduced himself to Old Trafford with THAT goal against Liverpool on his #MUFC debut 🥲🫶pic.twitter.com/2pbOF0B6F3
Martial’s dazzling speed, dribbling, and flair from France made Manchester United break their teenage transfer record. After a great season with AS Monaco, where he scored 12 goals and provided five assists, United broke every record to bring him to Old Trafford.
He had an immediate impact with 17 Premier League goals in his debut season, though injuries and form fluctuations have tempered his career since.
5. Leny Yoro – Lille to Manchester United – 2024 – €62m (Age 18)
Image | Fabrizio Romano on X
Manchester United invested heavily in Leny Yoro’s defensive attributes, physicality, and maturity beyond his years.Yoro was signed by United under Erik ten Hag for €62m, a record transfer fee for a teenage defender.
He still continues to be one of the pillars of the United defence under new boss Ruben Amorim.
4. Romeo Lavia – Southampton to Chelsea – 2023 – €62.1m (Age 19)
Image | Chelsea FC
Belgian midfielder Romeo Lavia’s combination of technical skill, tactical intelligence, and defensive contributions enticed Chelsea to pay a club-record fee of €62.1m for a teenager.
Lavia was first discovered by Manchester City, where he flourished for the Manchester City U-21 and U-23 teams. Then, he did well for Southampton to be able to attract a large bid from Chelsea.
3. Matthijs de Ligt – Ajax to Juventus – 2019 – €85.5m (Age 19)
Image | Ajax
Matthijs De Ligt captained a young Ajax side to the 2018/19 Champions League semifinals and even scored a decisive goal for them in the quarter-finals. Juventus rewarded him with one of the highest fees ever for a teenage defender when he was bought for a record fee for a teenage defender, €85.5m.
After spending seasons with Juventus and FC Bayern Munich, the defender signed for Manchester United in 2024, under former Ajax boss Erik ten Hag.
2. Joao Felix – Benfica to Atletico Madrid – 2019 – €127.2m (Age 19)
Image | X
Touted as a generational talent, Joao Felix was signed as a creative attacking replacement for Antoine Griezmann by Atletico Madrid in 2019 for a club record €127.2 million.
Felix had scored 20 goals in 43 games for Benfica, along with 11 assists, before joining the Spanish club. However, he could not justify the price tag and soon found himself playing for different clubs.
At 25, he has now signed for Saudi Pro League club Al-Nassr FC.
In the 2016/17 season, Mbappe scored 28 goals and had 14 assists in 46 games for Monaco, which had set him up as one of the greatest footballing talents on earth. Among those 28 goals, 6 were in the Champions League in just 9 games.
Monaco have agreed to loan Kylian Mbappe to PSG with an option to sign him for €180m next summer. Medical tomorrow. (Source: L'Equipe) pic.twitter.com/cXSjQRva3K

The design includes nods to the home city of Birmingham, with design details inspired by the iconic Bullring, where the team has a new fan store.
AFC Bournemouth
The red and black stripes are a little broader than usual and the metallic gold trim adds a sprinkling of glitz. It's unlikely to make much of an impact outside of the immediate vicinity of the Vitality Stadium.
Brentford
Brentford's latest home shirt celebrates the 100th anniversary of the team adopting red and white stripes as their official club colours. Naturally, the design is just that, with the heritage faux lace-up collar being the only real retro appointment of note, a nod to the first batch of home jerseys worn by the Bees in 1925.
Brighton & Hove Albion
Rather than the standard yellow trim, this season's familiar blue-and-white stripes are accompanied by accents of minty turquoise, like the rails that run along the city's seafront.
The new kit has been designed to visually encapsulate the rugged landscape that surrounds Burnley and celebrate the beauty of Lancashire.
Chelsea
Chelsea have revealed their sleek away kit, with a largely white look, accented with red and green. Meanwhile, the home kit has its standard blue colour with dark blue texture all over the kit.
Crystal Palace
After a few years of more experimental and off-piste designs, the Eagles' new home jersey features clean red and blue stripes with all the extra detailing picked out in white.
Everton
This one comes in a beautiful shade of creamy yellow and includes subtle references to the industrial heritage of the Bramley-Moore docklands, the site of the club's new stadium. The pattern on the sleeves references the old railway lines that ran in and out of the area and have since been reinstalled as a heritage attraction.
Fulham
Fulham's association with Adidas has brought a beautiful, bright white kit with black stripes on the shoulder and crest.
Liverpool FC
Liverpool started their partnership with Adidas this year. Their home kit with the red and white combo looks like one of the best jerseys of the season. Their away kit will have white as the dominant colour with red stripes on the shoulders.
The blocky, tessellating pattern found on the collar and cuff is actually a replication of the yellow and blue tile pattern found in the Lowfields Tunnel near Elland Road.
Manchester City
Keeping the typical sky blue colour, Man City have adopted a new look, with a white slash across the front and minimalistic emphasis on its sponsors.
Manchester United
This design is fairly traditional, with a solid red base and sparse black-and-white trim. However, the material does contain a subtle reference to Old Trafford via a smattering of dots and stripes.
Newcastle United
Newcastle United’s 2025/26 kit doesn’t just look good, but also does good, with £5 per shirt sold going to the Newcastle United Foundation.
Nottingham Forest
With a folding collar and immaculate white pinstriping inspired by the revered home shirt of 1992-1994.
Sunderland
A lovely bit of retro-infused handiwork from Danish brand Hummel here, who have used Sunderland's cult classic 1989-91 away kit as inspiration for a demure maritime-themed jersey that is covered in a pattern made up of local coastal landmarks, including the Roker Beach lighthouse.

Manchester United records that may never be broken
87 years of having Academy graduates in the squad: Dating back to 30th October 1937, Manchester United have had an academy graduate in every single matchday squad since a staggering run of 87 years.
Fewest goals conceded at home in a single season: Manchester United incredibly conceded just four goals at Old Trafford throughout the 1994/95 campaign, which also happened to be the final 42-game season.
Longest run without conceding a goal (1,113 minutes): The 2008/09 season saw Manchester United fare slightly better than the aforementioned 1994/95 campaign, and they even had another dizzying defensive record to match. Between November 15th and February 18th, Edwin van Der Sar managed to keep 14 consecutive clean sheets, setting a record for the longest run without conceding a goal - a total of 1,113 minutes, which still stands today.
Trick of league titles (twice): Pep Guardiola and Manchester City may have become the first side to win four consecutive top-flight titles, but their neighbours still hold an almighty feat when it comes to winning the league trophy on the bounce. In the years between 1998 and 2001, and then again between 2006 and 2009, Manchester United achieved a three-peat of league titles on two separate occasions.
Invincible away from home: Manchester United’s covid-stricken 2020/21 campaign saw them set a new record for the longest unbeaten run away from home in the Premier League.
League victory with the fewest points: Title winners now must aspire to hit at least 90 points or more if they are to clinch the league, but the 1996/97 campaign saw United win with a mere 75 points.
Most Premier League titles - 13: Manchester United have lifted 13 Premier League titles, which is five more than the next-nearest Manchester City who are slowly but surely catching up to their neighbours.
Longest unbeaten run by an English club in the UEFA Champions League: Although another of their eternal rivals Liverpool are the most successful English side in Europe, Manchester United still hold the longest unbeaten run in the continent’s elite club competition. From 2007 to 2009 - a period in which they lifted the Champions League and reached another final, United went 25 games unbeaten.
Never lost a home game when leading at halftime since 1984: Manchester United have managed to keep an astonishing home record intact since 1984. When leading at half-time at Old Trafford, they have not gone on to lose, a record that has stood since a defeat to Ipswich on May 7th 1984.
