Forward scores twice in 4-2 victory over Brighton
‘He’s improving when we are organising the final third’
Ruben Amorim praised “working machine” Bryan Mbeumo, who scored twice, and pointed to the significance of a third consecutive league win after Manchester United’s 4-2 victory over Brighton at Old Trafford on Saturday.
First-half goals from Matheus Cunha and Casemiro were followed after the break by Mbeumo making it 3-0. Yet from cruising United suffered a scare as Danny Welbeck and Charalampos Kostoulas scored – the latter in added time before Mbeumo’s second close to the final whistle.
Amorim was asked about Mbeumo’s import and his role in recruiting him this summer. “He’s a working machine. He’s so good in transitions. He’s improving when we are organising the final third,” said the head coach, before praising his connection with Amad Diallo at right-wingback. “[It] is really hard to beat these two guys because they change positions, they are really fast, they are good in one against one.
