Anthony Martial
Just as Martial looked prime to lead the line for United after a promising pre-season injury strikes at the worst possible time. The Frenchman has suffered a hamstring injury in training and is unavailable to face the Seagulls, with no return date given just yet.
When asked if Martial was unavailable, Ten Hag said: "Yes. It is always difficult to say with injuries [how long he will be out for]. I hope it is not for too long."
Expected return date: N/A
Cristiano Ronaldo
Though not at full match fitness, Cristiano Ronaldo is available and could now start after Martial's bad luck. The Portuguese is not at 100 per cent, though, as he missed the vast majority of pre-season due to family reasons amid his desire to leave Old Trafford.
Ten Hag said we will 'see on Sunday' when asked if Ronaldo would start before adding: "I am really happy. We have a top striker. He is here and is in the squad."
Expected return: August 7
Jadon Sancho
Sancho wasn't involved in the friendly against Atletico as expected after coming down with an illness but is expected to be back for the game.
Expected return date: August 7
