Ruben Amorim has urged Manchester United to stay grounded after their third straight Premier League victory lifted them into fourth place.
United's 4-2 win over Brighton at Old Trafford followed triumphs against Sunderland and Liverpool, marking a sharp upturn in their recent form.
The victory meant that United have recorded three straight Premier League victories for the first time since the period spanning May to August 2024.
Goals from Matheus Cunha and Casemiro handed United a commanding two-goal lead. While Brighton threatened late on, Bryan Mbeumo's second-half brace was enough to seal a deserved three points.
But Amorim warned his players not to lose focus as they prepare for a tricky away fixture against Nottingham Forest.
"You can sense that the team feels different," Amorim said.
"We believe we can respond to challenges and solve problems on the pitch, and that confidence helps us win games. But three weeks ago, things looked very different, and it can change again just as quickly. We have to keep that urgency in every training session."
Cunha finally opened his account for United, scoring his first goal for the club on his ninth appearance across all competitions.
The Brazilian found the net with his 25th attempt of the season, ending a frustrating run that had seen him record the most shots without a goal among all Premier League players in 2025-26 prior to this match.
"I think it was a more complete performance," Amorim added.
"We had possession, created chances, defended high and deep when needed. It felt like a more balanced display — and, as a manager, that makes me feel more complete too."

I agree with you. Dorgu is a disastrous buy since last season and am not understanding why using Dorgu on that left position since start of the season instead of playing Luke Shaw who is better than him…you can see now Dorgu didn’t start and Manu win.I prefer Luke Shaw on that left position because look back on the performance he did on the Euro 2021 he play great game until the final and scored in the final look how southgate have bring the best out of him even though he was playing a left back on that time.Amorin should take note on this.Shaw can bring whole team to moving forward and he was the longest serving player on this United team by now and he deserve the captain armband.
I believe he will do that when Licha is back, Licha will be at the LCB and Luke will be at LWF it will be a mad combination, I can't wait.

In my opinion, Dorgu played well when he substituted Amad. He slotted in perfectly. Amad can rest to be fresh for the Forest game.
I don't think you watch the match Dorgu was at fault for the free kick that leads to the goal, control ball and do a simple pass he couldn't, that guy won't stay long in Manchester United.

You’re right. Should bench him and try on Luke Shaw on that position.

Amorim has to learn how to bring out the most from a player, trust and believe the player not expect immediate good performance from them
if he had lost these same people could have been blaming the system and the coach, regardless of the performance of the players

Bench players need to show up. Yesterday changes come on pitch were poor performance. Zirkzee is the tallest guy never judge corner and we concede goal Dorku was very poor Also .if someone complaints not getting. Time that’s what they have to perform when get chance and every single change yesterday except Hyden did nothing Dorku left him isolated every single time when Briton attach from left side he can’t cross he can’t control

What! Embarrassing? The players can adapt to his style of play very well. Finally we are winning, hope this momentum continues.
Yes your right players can adapt to the style slowly by slowly and even their patience will pay off.

Man Utd players have the quality to win all games but Amorim style and tactics are embarrassing. Yet he has refused to change.

Dorgu was the problem in the starting eleven b4 thank God he changed him to the bench and started playing Amad and that has helped with Amad and Mbeumo teaming up to score. Dorgu will improve but he needs to make quick decisions and keep the ball more instead of falling to the floor because he didn't make the right decision on time and giving the ball away
