How to watch Man Utd v Brighton free in Carabao Cup 3rd round: TV channel, live stream and kick-off time
Pressure is building on Michael Carrick ahead of Manchester United's Carabao Cup third-round tie with Brighton on Wednesday evening.
The Red Devils produced a meek display in a 1-0 Manchester derby defeat on Sunday and sit 13th in the table – with four points from four games.
Carrick's side have failed to reach the levels of last term and need a result to jump-start their season.
Brighton have made Old Trafford a happy hunting ground in recent years, winning four of their last five games at the Theatre of Dreams, and will be high in confidence after a positive start to the new campaign.
The Seagulls have won three of their six games in 2026/27, including a 5-0 thumping of Coventry City on the weekend.
Radio Times has rounded up everything you need to know about how to watch Man Utd v Brighton on TV and online.
