Premier League 2025 | Old Trafford, Manchester
Manchester United extended their winning streak with a thrilling 4–2 victory over Brighton at Old Trafford. Goals from Matheus Cunha, Casemiro, and a brace from Bryan Mbeumo powered the Red Devils to another crucial three points, lifting them to fourth place in the Premier League standings.
The result also marked United’s third consecutive league win, as Amorim’s men continue to find their rhythm after a mixed start to the campaign.
⚽ Match Summary: United Attack in Full Flow
Manchester United began with high intensity, pressing Brighton deep and dictating tempo early on. Their efforts were rewarded when Matheus Cunha scored his first Premier League goal in the 24th minute, calmly finishing from close range after a pinpoint delivery from Casemiro.
Just ten minutes later, Casemiro turned scorer — doubling United’s lead in the 34th minute with a towering header from a set-piece. The veteran Brazilian was instrumental throughout, controlling midfield and adding both a goal and an assist to his name.
In the second half, Bryan Mbeumo stole the spotlight. The Cameroonian forward scored twice — first in the 61st minute with a clinical counterattack finish, and again late on to seal the game, showcasing his pace, positioning, and confidence in front of goal.
Brighton attempted a late fightback with goals from Danny Welbeck (74’) and Christos Kostoulas (90+2’), but United’s attacking momentum proved too strong to halt.
