Brighton Defeats Manchester United 3-1 at Old Trafford

Brighton & Hove Albion secured a convincing 3-1 victory against Manchester United at Old Trafford, marking their third consecutive Premier League win at this venue under different coaches. This triumph underscores Brighton's transformation into a formidable side, evidenced by their ability to control the match despite having only one win in their previous eight league games. Kaoru Mitoma and Georginio Rutter were instrumental in Brighton's victory, with Mitoma also setting a Premier League record. In contrast, Manchester United continues to struggle, sitting 13th in the league and failing to win back-to-back matches this season. Manager Ruben Amorim acknowledged the team's poor performance, stating that all players are underperforming and there is no quick fix for the current issues. Brighton's success against United highlights their growing confidence and ambition in the Premier League, while United's decline raises questions about their future stability.
