Manchester United continued their recent impressive form at Old Trafford.
Manchester United secured a third straight victory as Matheus Cunha opened his account for the club and Bryan Mbeumo scored twice in a 4-2 win over Brighton and Hove Albion.
Cunha was United’s first signing of the transfer window, but the Brazilian striker had failed to find the net in any of his first eight games for the club.
But he broke his duck in the 24th minute, striking into the bottom right corner from the edge of the box.
His Brazilian teammate Casemiro then doubled the lead with a deflected effort, before Mbeumo put United in complete command when he curled in at the near post following good work from Benjamin Sesko.
Danny Welbeck gave Brighton a glimmer of hope with a fine free-kick, and this was accentuated in injury time when Charalampos Kostoulas headed home his first goal for the club.
Yet Brighton were unable to complete the comeback, and Mbeumo made sure of the points with an emphatic finish in the final minute of injury time.
