This result showed clear progress under coach Rúben Amorim.
He recently said, “There is no momentum with our team,” but that may no longer be true after three wins in a row against Sunderland, Liverpool and Brighton.
The match also came close to marking a year since Amorim took charge at Old Trafford.
Brighton’s data-driven approach to recruitment is often praised across the league. However, it was United’s summer signings who made the difference this time.
Cunha and Mbeumo both played key roles in securing the victory.
United were criticised for sitting too deep and using long balls in their last game at Anfield. But this time they played more attacking football, reports The Telegraph.
They pressed high and created chances against a Brighton side known for its careful passing and organised play.
When Welbeck and Kostoulas scored to cut the lead, United had to stay calm and defend well.
In the final seconds, Mbeumo struck again to make it 4-2 and end Brighton’s hopes.
The win lifted the mood at Old Trafford and eased pressure on Amorim. The team now looks confident about pushing for a European place.
