Good day, everyone, and welcome to my blog. In the Premier League today, Manchester United beat Brighton 4-2 at home and are now on a three-game winning streak, which has happened for quite some time now. Today, many football fans were actually waiting to see if Manchester United would go back to default settings and lose against Brighton, who, by the way, has beaten Manchester four times in their previous meetings, so I was not expecting a win from United today with the record Brighton had against them head to head.
Ruben Amorim has faced numerous challenges with that team since last season, when he took over the job. It has been a difficult time for the young manager to the extent that he didn't have confidence in watching his players take a penalty. This moment is significant for him, and I hope he enjoys this victory today, because he deserves every bit of it. The big question after this game today is whether Manchester United has changed for the better, or if they are still not there yet to say they are back. There have been many instances like this when Manchester United will look good, and before you know, they have lost form again.
The consistency is the issue with Manchester United players for a long time, which is what past managers have been trying to change, but no effect has been made. However, with Amorim, it looks like things could take a new turn. It's still quite early to see that Manchester United are back to their best, even though they have been tested with top teams like Liverpool, who they beat 2-1 last week. Manchester United have been decent, and the players have shown they are hungry to win, which is what every manager wants to see in their players. Amorim has expressed in the past how he feels with his players when he doesn't win matches.
Some fans have said Amorim lacks composure when dealing with the media and his players, but deep down, I will say the man has been frustrated a lot over the past year in charge of Manchester United. It is also important to note that United spent a lot of money in the summer window to reinforce the squad for this season. Benjamin Sesko is the most expensive player United bought this summer, but I don't believe he has integrated into the squad fully, as he has not had that much impact in the team. However, Bryan Mbeumo has been astonishing since he joined, plus today he got a brace against Brighton.
Manchester United's next game will be away to Nottingham Forest. This is an important match as Forest's new manager will be looking to make a statement, and Manchester United can't drop points as they are now in the top four on the league table. It will be interesting to see how that game plays out next week. So, guys, that will be all for now. Thanks for stopping by and have a good day
