Micah Richards and Alan Shearer have commended the performance of Manchester United attackers Bryan Mbeumo and Matheus Cunha after their 4-2 victory against Brighton on Saturday. United secured their third consecutive win under manager Ruben Amorim, having previously defeated Sunderland and Liverpool.
The match saw United quickly take a 2-0 lead with goals from Matheus Cunha and Casemiro. Bryan Mbeumo, who joined from Brentford in the summer, extended the lead with a well-taken goal in the second half. Despite Danny Welbeck and Charalampos Kostoulas scoring for Brighton, Mbeumo sealed the win with another goal.
After the weekend’s fixtures, United now hold the sixth position in the Premier League standings after nine games, only two points behind second-placed Bournemouth and one point ahead of reigning champions Liverpool. Following a loss to Brentford, United have bounced back with three straight wins, showing promise in Amorim’s 3-4-2-1 formation.

They praised the team’s resilience and effectiveness in executing tactics, highlighting the players’ roles in the system. The duo’s contribution, despite their significant transfer fees, has been pivotal in revitalizing United’s attacking prowess.
Looking ahead, the pundits emphasized the importance of maintaining consistency and building on the current momentum. They acknowledged Mbeumo’s clinical finishing and Cunha’s adaptability to the high-pressure environment at Manchester United.
