Manchester United have reignited their Premier League campaign with a stunning 4-2 victory over Brighton at Old Trafford, marking their third consecutive win under manager Ruben Amorim. The triumph not only halted a recent slump against the Seagulls but also showcased a dynamic attacking trio of Matheus Cunha, Bryan Mbeumo, and Benjamin Sesko, who dismantled Brighton’s defense with a fluid, interchangeable setup likened to a game of Tetris.

In a tactical masterclass, Amorim’s side adapted seamlessly during the match, with players shifting roles to exploit gaps and create space for counter-attacks. Cunha, who finally found the net for his new club, and Mbeumo, who netted a match-winning double, exemplified this synergy. The Brazilian’s opener and the Cameroonian’s first goal of the game highlighted the effectiveness of their positional flexibility, a strategy that SunSport’s tactical expert Dean Scoggins has dubbed the “Tetris” approach.

 

Scoggins analyzed how Amorim’s formation, featuring two No.10s dropping back to plug defensive holes, allowed United’s attackers to remain unpredictable. When Mbeumo moved into a central striker role, players like Amad Diallo surged forward, creating a puzzle-like alignment that left Brighton struggling to contain the Red Devils’ relentless pressure.

Despite the victory, United still trail league leaders Arsenal by six points, though the win has reignited hopes of challenging for the title. Scoggins emphasized that the team’s cohesion and adaptability, evident in their 4-2 performance, could become a recurring asset as they continue to refine their tactics.
