Manchester United take on Brighton at Old Trafford on Saturday, Jan. 19. Here’s all the info you need to watch.

Manchester United have arguably been the best team in the Premier League over the last several weeks, winning their last five games and climbing back into the race for a spot in the Champions League. United have seemingly found a new confidence and identity under interim manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer. The former United forward has brought an attack-minded philosophy to the club, a far cry from the conservative style of former manager Jose Mourinho.

The Red Devils can exact a measure of revenge when they welcome Brighton to the Theater of Dreams on Saturday. The Seagulls handed United their first defeat of the season in August, a game that set the tone for the end of Mourinho’s tenure as manager. Brighton scored three times in the first half that day, and United looked to be outplayed by the time an hour had passed.

One of the biggest reasons for United’s success over the last few games has been Paul Pogba. The midfielder came back to the club a few seasons ago with a sizable amount of fanfare (and a transfer fee to match), bringing lofty expectations. Pogba showed flashes of the player he could potentially be under Mourinho, but it seems that Solskjaer has brought out the best in him. Pogba has scored or assisted in all but one of United wins over their winning streak, including two goals against both Bournemouth and Huddersfield.

If United win on Saturday, they could move into fifth place in the league table by passing Arsenal. The three points would put them within striking distance of the top four, a feat that seemed nearly impossible just a few short weeks ago.

It seems that United have finally found a way to get the most out of the talent that they’ve developed and acquired over the past several seasons. If their form holds, the team and their fans could be in for a very exciting end to the season.

The Premier League game between Manchester United and Brighton will be broadcast on CNBC. Live streaming is available on NBC Sports Gold, which you can access with a subscription.
