"The Seagulls had won six of their last seven Premier League meetings with the Red Devils and arrived in the north-west seeking a fourth straight Old Trafford victory. But United finally overcame their Brighton hoodoo with a 4-2 triumph, as Mbeumo's goals following efforts from Matheus Cunha and Casemiro as they built on last weekend's win at Liverpool. That Anfield triumph saw Ruben Amorim celebrate back-to-back league wins for the first time since taking charge last November and this victory moved them up to fourth."
"Cunha opened his United account with a 20-yard strike that Casemiro added to with a deflected effort before Mbeumo made it 3-0 after the break. But the Red Devils rarely do things the easy way. In-form Danny Welbeck's free-kick and teenage substitute Charalampos Kostoulas' stoppage-time header had the hosts wobbling but Mbeumo struck at the death to wrap things up. Co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe was in attendance for a match that United started on the front foot,"
Manchester United ended a difficult run against Brighton with a 4-2 Old Trafford victory. Matheus Cunha opened the scoring with a 20-yard strike and Casemiro added a goal via a deflection before Mbeumo extended the lead to 3-0 after the break. Brighton mounted a response as Danny Welbeck converted a free-kick and Charalampos Kostoulas scored a stoppage-time header that unsettled the hosts. Mbeumo then struck again at the death to secure the result. United showed early intent, with Bruno Fernandes nearly scoring within a minute of his 300th club appearance, and co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe attended the match.
