Matheus Cunha scored his first goal for Manchester United as the Red Devils capitalised on recent momentum by beating Brighton 4-2 at Old Trafford on Saturday.
United took nearly a year into Ruben Amorim’s reign to win back-to-back league games but have now won three-in-a-row after ending Brighton’s run of success at Old Trafford.
There are signs of the Red Devils’ £200 million trio ($266 million) of attacking additions in the transfer window, Cunha, Bryan Mbeumo, and Benjamin Sesko, beginning to click.
Cunha curled in his first goal for the club from outside the box to open the scoring.
Casemiro’s deflected effort doubled United’s lead before half-time.
Sesko then teed up Mbeumo to fire in at the near post.
Danny Welbeck’s brilliant free-kick and Charalampos Kostoulas’ header set up a nervy finale.
