If beating Liverpool at Anfield a week ago marked the high point of Ruben Amorim’s first year in charge at Manchester United, this wasn’t far behind.
On an uplifting night at Old Trafford, when joy, jubilation and ultimately relief coursed around this grand old theatre, United put Brighton to the sword to register their third straight win and move into the top-four, however temporary it may be.
Their challenge was building on the Liverpool victory, and they played with a confidence and swagger so badly missing from the performances under Amorim over the last 12 months.
