The duo from MU revealed, earning high praise from Amorim

The duo from Manchester United that earned coach Ruben Amorim’s full admiration after their 4-2 victory over Brighton are Matheus Cunha and Casemiro, two explosive players who helped the “Red Devils” continue their momentum.

Manchester United continued to show a strong resurgence under coach Ruben Amorim by defeating Brighton 4-2 in an emotionally charged match at Old Trafford. The valuable three points not only secured the “Red Devils” their third consecutive Premier League win for the first time since February 2024 but also lifted them to 4th place, just 3 points behind Arsenal.

The match was full of drama as Cunha, Casemiro, and Bryan Mbeumo each scored to put Man United ahead 3-0. However, Brighton fought back fiercely, scoring twice late in the second half, making the contest tense. It wasn’t until the 97th minute that Mbeumo sealed the 4-2 victory with a decisive strike into the top corner after a clever pass from Bruno Fernandes.

After the match, coach Ruben Amorim showered praise on Matheus Cunha, who has been a bright spot in Man United’s recent play: “Cunha is growing more confident every day. He played very maturely today, especially defensively. Previously, Cunha was often impatient and lost his position, but today he was disciplined and effective. He deserved that goal.”

The Portuguese coach also did not forget to commend Casemiro, who scored and showed admirable fighting spirit: “Casemiro brings experience and sets an example for the younger players. There were times he was ranked behind many midfielders, but he fought back and now even gets called up to the national team. That spirit is something every player should learn from.”

Evaluating the team’s overall performance, Amorim said this was one of the most complete matches since he took charge of Man United: “We controlled the game well, knowing when to press and when to fall back. Of course, a Man United win always has some ‘nail-biting’ moments at the end, but we deserved this result.”

Coach Amorim also revealed that withdrawing Luke Shaw early was just a precaution, as the English defender had recently recovered from a mild virus.

The victory over Brighton not only earned 3 points but also affirmed the progress of Man United under Amorim’s leadership — a team gradually rediscovering its identity and confidence in winning.
