Ruben Amorim sends message to Matheus Cunha after Brighton win

Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim has heaped praise on Matheus Cunha following the 4-2 Premier League win over Brighton & Hove Albion at Old Trafford.

The Red Devils secured a third-straight victory after a solid performance against the Seagulls. Bryan Mbeumo was the standout performer for the club with a brace.

Cunha was also brilliant in the final third and bagged his maiden United goal in the second half. Speaking after the game, Amorim said that Cunha feels more confident when the game is harder and he likes the responsibility.

He told Sky Sports after the victory: "Everyone felt against Liverpool, he feels more confident if the game is harder. He likes the responsibility.

United have temporarily climbed to fourth in the standings after the victory over the Seagulls. They are just three points behind the Gunners, who have a game in hand.

There has been a tremendous turnaround with three wins on the bounce and the onus is on extending the run against Nottingham Forest on the road next weekend.
