Bryan Mbeumo praised Manchester United’s collective spirit and determination after their thrilling 4-2 win over Brighton at Old Trafford on Saturday, a result that extended their Premier League winning streak to three matches.
The Cameroonian forward played a starring role, netting twice in the second half to secure the points for Ruben Amorim’s side.
Earlier goals from Matheus Cunha and Casemiro had put United in control before Danny Welbeck and Charalampos Kostoulas pulled Brighton back into contention.
Mbeumo, however, sealed the victory with a composed finish deep into stoppage time, preserving United’s remarkable home record of never losing a league match when leading at half-time (P327 W302 D25).
Reflecting on the result, Mbeumo expressed his delight with the team’s progress, saying United “want to fight for the best places.” The 25-year-old added that the squad’s hard work, togetherness and improving chemistry are driving their recent resurgence.
“I think we played a great game,” Mbeumo told Sky Sports. “We are a bit disappointed to concede two goals, but the most important is the win, and in the end, we did it.
“The atmosphere is crazy here. The fans are unbelievable, and it’s always good to score goals and especially here.
“I enjoy it a lot here. It hasn’t been easy at the start. It’s a new environment, a new expectation, but I think with the automatism, with the link-up with the team, I think everything is going the right way.
“The work we put in, the effort, the togetherness we give on the pitch is key, and after we try to stick to the plan, and we try to play as best as possible.
“I like the challenges, came here to a big club, and we want to fight for the best places.”
Manchester United are currently 4th on the Premier League table, with their tally of five wins, one draw and three losses amounting 16 points.
