Ruben Amorim’s ambition for established players in the transfer market seems to be yielding positive results. Matheus Cunha and Bryan Mbeumo were instrumental in Manchester United’s victory over Brighton, marking the first home win since 2022.
Cunha scored his debut goal for the club, while Mbeumo netted his fifth goal of the season as the Red Devils secured their third consecutive win. Their impressive performance comes as no surprise, considering they collectively scored 35 goals in the Premier League last season with Wolves and Brentford.
United made significant investments in Cunha and Mbeumo, spending £200 million to bolster their attacking options alongside Benjamin Sesko. Early signs suggest that this investment could prove fruitful.
Gary Neville believes that United now possesses two players capable of consistently winning matches for the team. He commended their experience in the Premier League and hunger to excel at a higher level.
Neville’s colleague, Jamie Redknapp, is optimistic about United’s prospects this season, suggesting they could finish as high as fifth in the league. However, he cautioned that the situation could quickly change, emphasizing the need for consistent performance.
The win against Brighton was pivotal for Amorim, according to Neville, who highlighted the relief of pressure on the Portuguese coach following a crucial victory. The momentum gained from the win could provide Amorim with some breathing space as the team continues to perform well.
