Manchester United continued their impressive recent form at Old Trafford.

Manchester United claimed a third successive win 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 Brazil forward 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, lashing into the bottom-right corner from the edge of the box.

Brazil team-mate Casemiro then doubled the lead with a deflected effort, before Mbeumo gave United complete command when he curled inside the near post following good work from Benjamin Sesko.

Danny Welbeck gave Brighton a glimmer of hope with a fine free-kick, and that was furthered in injury time when Charalampos Kostoulas headed home his first goal for the club.

Yet Brighton could not complete the comeback, and Mbeumo made sure of the points with an emphatic finish in the final minute of stoppage time.
