Despite some nervy moments late in the game, Manchester United held on to their lead and climbed to fourth place in the table. The win marked the first time United has secured three consecutive league wins since August 2024. Amorim praised his team's performance, highlighting their understanding of the game plan and ability to execute it under pressure.

“The players understood really well what to do in every moment,” Amorim said. “We had to suffer a bit at the end, but it wouldn't be United without a bit of suffering.

“I have that feeling, I think it was a more complete performance than at Liverpool. You can say Liverpool did not deserve to win that game, though we deserved to win.”

“Today we did everything. When it is like this I feel more complete as a manager. I like this win more than last week.”

Amorim heaped praise on Matheus Cunha and Bryan Mbeumo, who both played key roles in the win over Brighton. Cunha scored his first United goal, while Mbeumo netted a brace, and Amorim praised their quick adaptation to the team.

“He (Cunha) feels more confident if the game is harder, I really like the way he defends today he was not jumping all the time,” Amorim added.

“When he has the ball I have no concerns about his ability at all. He was struggling about not scoring goals, he can try to hide but everyone understood really well.

“He (Mbeumo) is a working machine, he is so good in transitions. The connection with Amad (Diallo), it is really hard because these guys are really fast, they are so good one-on-one.”
