Manchester United showcased their revamped attacking prowess to break their Brighton curse, securing a 4-2 victory over the Seagulls despite a late scare. Following a notable win against Liverpool, the hosts took the lead in style with Matheus Cunha scoring his debut goal for United, skillfully assisted by Casemiro.
Shortly after, Casemiro found the net with a deflected shot, extending United’s lead. Bryan Mbeumo then added another goal, seemingly sealing the game, before late strikes from Danny Welbeck and Charalampos Kostoulas made for a tense finale. However, Mbeumo’s second goal in stoppage time ensured United’s third consecutive win.
Brighton had troubled United in the past, but Ruben Amorim’s team convincingly dispelled that trend at Old Trafford. The visitors started brightly, with Cunha scoring impressively. Despite a late Brighton resurgence, United’s victory marked another significant step forward under Amorim’s leadership.
The high-profile signings of Cunha and Mbeumo have paid off handsomely for United, with both players shining in each match. While there are still questions surrounding Sesko, his potential is evident alongside Cunha and Mbeumo. The duo’s Premier League experience has been invaluable, reaffirming their quality with every game.
Carlos Baleba, once linked to United, featured for Brighton but struggled to make an impact. Despite Welbeck’s brilliant goal, United’s resilience was evident as they held on for the win. Amorim’s managerial acumen has been crucial in transforming United’s fortunes, positioning them favorably in the league standings.
As United continue their upward trajectory, the uncertainties surrounding Amorim are gradually dissipating. With consistent performances like this, any doubts about his capabilities will soon fade away.
