The Frenchman, who continues to be linked with a move away from Old Trafford, lines up on the left in Alexis Sanchez’s absence.
Martial’s inclusion is one of three changes from the opening day win against Leicester City, with Ashley Young coming in for Matteo Darmian at right-back and Romelu Lukaku replacing Marcus Rashford in attack.
Paul Pogba captains the side with Andreas Pereira and Fred getting another chance to impress in midfield, while Luke Shaw again gets the nod at left-back.
Brighton: Ryan, Montoya, Dunk, Duffy, Bong, Propper, Stephens, Gross, March, Knockaert, Murray… Subs: Button, Kayal, Bissouma, Locadia, Balogun, Jahanbakhsh, Bernardo.
