Only Manchester United can completely defeat an opponent while still making people feel like they have just overcome a big obsession. It was truly an inexorable and characteristic moment for Man United.
Man United's recent head-to-head record against Brighton has been poor, and every time the two sides meet, they create dramatic games. This encounter is no exception.
Initially, the "Red Devils" captivated home fans with 3 goals to take the lead. However, after that, they suddenly collapsed in a bland way.
It was easy to get caught up in a satisfying performance in the first half, but the second half reminded that this team still has a long way to go to perfect. How could Man United make things look both easy and difficult in the same match? That is the art - the art of chaos called Man United.
Until Bryan Mbeumo scored the fourth goal in stoppage time, a sense of anxiety still engulfed the stands. Its not hard to clearly feel the atmosphere changing from excitement to extreme tension. Of the four clear chances created by the home team, they missed three. However, somehow, they still ended the match with 4 goals.
That is what Ruben Amorim wanted to emphasize when speaking at the post-match press conference. Man United's current squad is built from players who are in line with his playing philosophy.
Amorim is referring to the quality and influence of Cunha and Mbeumo. This rookie duo represents a new version of the Old Trafford winners.
"You can see he's hungry for that. Today Cunha defended very well, and when he had the ball, I was completely assured of him" - Amorim praised Cunha.
From the place of decline and crisis, Man United is now gradually taking on the form of an organized team, with a clear direction and full of confidence. 3 consecutive victories are not only a series of positive results, but also a clear testament to Amorim's revolution in football thinking.
After all, the most important thing that Man United fans feel is not the number of goals or position on the rankings. Instead, it felt like their team was truly reviving.
Mbeumo and Cunha, with their persistent efforts and harmony in playing style, have become symbols of a new Man United - united, modern and won by collective strength.
"I have never felt ashamed of what I am doing, no matter the outcome. I am not under any pressure from Sir Jim Ratcliffe. He always believes in and understands the direction we are building.
The biggest pressure comes from the fans, because facing them is always the most difficult thing. But what I feel most clearly right now is the urgency when we are not allowed to lose" - Amorim shared.
