It was the second game in a row that the defender had missed, having not played in the 1-1 draw with West Ham last week. That turned out not to be the case, and de Ligt was nowhere to be seen in the matchday squad. In his post-match press conference, Amorim remained tight-lipped about a potential return for the centre-back. "I don't know, sometimes you have an idea then you have to see day by day, the head coach said. I'm not going to say when he is coming back."

Amorim's latest comments on the England international, though, suggested he may not be out for long. Martinez has been sidelined since February with a serious knee injury, but he has since returned to full first-team training. Here's a look at the latest on Manchester United's injuries... Amorim said ahead of the Brighton match that the knock suffered by Maguire was nothing serious. But he still elected not to name the centre-back in Saturday's matchday squad despite deeming that Mason Mount - who was also reportedly dealing with a knock last week - was fit enough to make the bench.
