Ruben Amorim praises Manchester United’s 4-2 win over Brighton
Manchester United defeated Brighton 4-2 at Old Trafford on Saturday as manager Ruben Amorim praised his team’s performance above their recent Liverpool triumph. Bryan Mbeumo scored twice while Matheus Cunha and Casemiro added goals to secure a third straight league win. The victory lifted United to fourth place and marked their best run since August 2024 before Amorim arrived.
Amorim said the match felt more complete than the Liverpool game despite late pressure from Brighton. He highlighted Cunha’s defensive work and first United goal alongside Mbeumo’s speed and transition play. The manager noted his team executed tactics well across all phases while acknowledging some late anxiety at the stadium.
The result continues United’s resurgence under new leadership. Amorim expressed greater satisfaction with this win than the historic Anfield success from the previous week.
