Manchester United’s manager, Ruben Amorim, emphasized the significance of their 4-2 win against Brighton & Hove Albion in the Premier League, considering it more crucial than their previous victory over Liverpool. The team’s success was propelled by goals from Bryan Mbeumo, Matheus Cunha, and Casemiro, securing their third consecutive Premier League triumph, a feat not achieved since August 2024 before Amorim assumed the managerial role.
Despite facing a late resurgence from Brighton, United managed to maintain their lead at Old Trafford, building on their recent win at Anfield in 2016 and advancing to fourth place in the league standings. Amorim commended the players for their adaptability throughout the match, acknowledging the team’s resilience in securing the victory.
Highlighting the performances of Cunha and Mbeumo, Amorim praised their contributions as they continue to integrate smoothly into the team. He lauded Cunha’s confidence in challenging situations and defensive efforts, as well as Mbeumo’s work ethic and effectiveness in transitional play, particularly in tandem with Amad Diallo. The manager expressed satisfaction with the team’s collective effort, deeming the win against Brighton as a more complete and gratifying performance compared to their previous matches.
