Brighton manager Graham Potter insists that his side will be focusing on themselves in their Premier League opener against Manchester United.

The Albion will be hoping to spoil the party for new United boss Erik ten Hag, who will take charge of his first competitive game with the club.

United lost the last time they played against Brighton, with the 4-0 humbling hurting their chances of qualifying for the Champions League.

During an interview with The Athletic, Potter said: "I'm happy as I can be with this pre-season. In terms of how we are performing, how we are acting every day and in games.

"We had a tricky game against Estoril on not the greatest pitch and not the most awe-inspiring environment - but the attitude was spot on from the players. It's good when you have that, the humility to get on with your work, do their best, push each other and work for each other."

Potter continued: "Like anything in the Premier League, there are no easy ones. You've got to be ready to compete and to try and get points against anybody.

"We've proved that but, still, I don't take any game for granted and no game should be totally out of our reach. We just need to focus on us, preparing as well as we can and then we'll see."
