Sky Sports pundit Paul Merson has revealed where he stands on Manchester United’s upcoming Premier League match against Brighton at Old Trafford on Sunday.

Clubs are currently trialling squad cost rules and top to bottom anchoring in shadow, but top-flight sides remain restricted to losses of £105m over a rolling three-year period. Aston Villa failed in a bid to raise this limit to £135m last summer and Liverpool chief Billy Hogan was among those who 'did not see the sense' in agreeing to that.
