Manchester United cruise past Brighton 4–2 as Cunha and Mbeumo shine in Old Trafford thriller

Manchester United’s resurgence under the spotlight continued in emphatic fashion on October 25, 2025, as they defeated Brighton & Hove Albion 4–2 at Old Trafford, extending their winning streak to three straight Premier League matches. It was a display of renewed energy, squad depth, and attacking flair — qualities that had been missing earlier in the season.

New signing Matheus Cunha opened his United account in style, marking his first goal for the club while wearing the iconic No. 10 shirt, symbolically ushering in a new era of creativity and confidence. But it was veteran midfielder Casemiro who stole the early headlines, delivering a masterclass of control and leadership — registering two goals and two assists that underpinned United’s dominance for much of the match.

Equally dazzling was Bryan Mbeumo, whose quick movement and ruthless finishing produced a brace that earned him the Man of the Match award. His link-up play with Cunha and Benjamin Šeško, who contributed an assist, kept Brighton’s defense in constant disarray. The young full-back Ayden Heaven also impressed, notching a crucial assist in what many fans hailed as his breakout performance in a United shirt.

The four-match photos shared in the viral post captured the night’s raw emotion — Casemiro’s powerful celebration after his second goal, his embrace with Amad Diallo when the scoreline hit 3–0, Cunha’s skyward salute after his debut goal, and the electrifying Old Trafford crowd roaring in unison during the opening strike. Each image reflected not just a result, but a team rediscovering belief.

Brighton, to their credit, refused to fold, pulling two goals back through João Pedro and Simon Adingra, but United’s attacking relentlessness ensured the Seagulls never came close to staging a full comeback. The victory pushes Erik ten Hag’s men higher up the table, tightening the race for a top-four spot and reinforcing faith among fans that the rebuild is finally yielding results.

Across social media, reactions celebrated the performance as United’s “most complete display of the season.” Many praised the balance between experienced figures like Casemiro and the youthful firepower injected by recent signings. With three wins on the bounce, United appear to have found rhythm, intent, and perhaps — at long last — consistency.

If this momentum continues, Old Trafford may once again become the fortress it was always meant to be.
