Manchester United's recent resurgence under coach Ruben Amorim continued with a 4-2 victory over Brighton & Hove Albion, their third consecutive Premier League win. Bryan Mbeumo's match-winning goal in stoppage time propelled United to fourth place in the league standings. The match was a significant test for an improving United, as Brighton has been a formidable opponent since the 2021-22 season. United's previous victory against Liverpool was a notable achievement, marking their first win at Anfield since 2016. The Brazilian forward Matheus Cunha opened the scoring with a sublime 24th-minute strike, his first goal for the club. Casemiro's shot took a deflection, resulting in the second goal, and Mbeumo's well-taken third goal just after the hour mark put United in complete control. Danny Welbeck's free kick and Charalampos Kostoulas' header pulled one back for Brighton, but Mbeumo's fine strike in the 96th minute sealed the victory. United's success against Brighton was a crucial step in their revival, as a loss would have potentially undone their recent progress. Mbeumo expressed his enjoyment of the game and the team's cohesion, emphasizing the importance of their collective effort and challenges. The match showcased United's ability to maintain their form and secure a crucial win, despite the pressure and Brighton's determined efforts.
