Former Manchester United and Liverpool striker Michael Owen admitted that Brighton aren't pushovers and singled out former Chelsea star Tariq Lamptey for special praise ahead of the game with Manchester United. "Brighton were impressive in their 3-0 win away at Newcastle last weekend with a couple of Neal Maupay goals in the first seven minutes setting them on their way to a comfortable victory," said Owen (Via Sportskeeda). “Young Tariq Lamptey enhanced his growing reputation with another stand-out performance at right-back and Brighton will be delighted to have got their first three points on the board in just their second game of the new season." Having lost on opening day against Chelsea, Brighton recorded a stunning 3-0 victory against Newcastle United on matchday two to get their campaign up and running. Manchester United, on the other hand, suffered an embarrassing 3-1 defeat against Crystal Palace at Old Trafford. “On the other hand, Manchester United were very disappointing in their opening match of the new campaign and looked lethargic and distinctly off the pace in their 3-1 loss to Crystal Palace at Old Trafford," Owen added. “Ole Gunnar Solskjaer can point to a lack of rest and preparation time between the end of last season and the start of this but he will be expecting much more from his team and I expect a fully-fired up Manchester United to come away from the South coast with all three points. I’m going with a closely fought 1-0 victory to United.”
