At Old Trafford, it was good news for their number 10. Matheus Cunha scored his first goal of the season in a 4-2 win against Brighton on Saturday.
After going eight games in all competitions without a goal following his close-season move from Wolves, Brazilian forward Cunha scored in the first half at Old Trafford to make Manchester United supporters happy. Casemiro also ended the first half with a goal to make it 2-0.
United’s confident display maintained the momentum from last weekend’s win against Liverpool and the success against Sunderland that preceded their first triumph at Anfield since 2016. That 2-1 victory against the Premier League champions had given Amorim a much-needed boost after a turbulent start to the season.

Brighton had won on their last three visits at Old Trafford and had beaten United in six out of their previous eight games in all competitions.
Bruno Fernandes was making his 300th appearance for United, and the Portugal midfielder should have marked the occasion with a first-minute goal. United captain Fernandes, unmarked from close range, dragged his header wide with the goal at his mercy.
In conclusion, this win at Old Trafford has taken them to the fourth position of the table before the Brentford vs. Liverpool match.
