"Looking to use last weekend's famous 2-1 win away at Liverpool as a major platform to build on, Ruben Amorim's men didn't take long to open the scoring as big-money summer recruit Matheus Cunha opened his United account midway through the first-half. With a resurgent mood around Old Trafford, United doubled their lead just 10 minutes later as ex-Real Madrid ace Casemiro saw his deflected effort find a way past Brighton shot-stopper Bart Verbruggen."
"With another summer recruit Bryan Mbeumo add a third just after the hour mark, all signs pointed to United being in complete control. However, watching ex-United striker Danny Welbeck produce a sublime free-kick in the final 15 minutes, Brighton set up a grandstand finish as Charalampos Kostoulas flicked home a near-post header in stoppage time. Although the mood around Old Trafford might have drastically switched, Mbeumo notched his second of the evening as the former Brentford star dragged United to a third consecutive top-flight victory."
