Manchester United secured a 4-2 win over Brighton in the Premier League on Saturday evening. Ruben Amorim celebrated his third consecutive victory following a monumental win against Liverpool at Anfield last weekend, this time defeating the Seagulls.
United's goals were netted by Matheus Cunha, Casemiro and Bryan Mbeumo, before Danny Welbeck scored from a free-kick, giving Brighton a glimmer of hope.
Despite Charalampos Kostoulas scoring late in the game, Mbeumo's second goal sealed the deal for United. Here are our player ratings for United's performance at Old Trafford...
Senne Lammens - 6
Since his debut against Sunderland, he has been a refreshing addition to the team. He made several crucial saves, including one denying Yankuba Minteh when United were two goals ahead, but he should have saved Welbeck's free-kick.
Leny Yoro - 6
He was brought back into the team due to Harry Maguire's absence through injury. Despite some shaky moments in the first half, he managed to deliver a solid performance.
Matthijs de Ligt - 7
Possibly having the best season of his career, he has been exceptional this season, with the crowd erupting in cheers after a robust tackle in the second half.

Luke Shaw - 7
Substituted in the 64th minute due to an injury, United fans will be hoping it's nothing serious as Shaw has shown great resilience after a disappointing performance in the Manchester derby.
Amad - 7
After an impressive performance against Liverpool, he continued to shine on the right flank. He was denied a penalty in the first half.
Casemiro - 7
Scored through a heavily deflected effort. The 33-year-old disrupted play, made some crucial interceptions and looked impressive once again.
Bruno Fernandes - 7
Marked his 300th appearance for the club with a masterful turn just before half-time and set the pace from the middle of the pitch. Provided quality in the final 10 minutes when Brighton attempted to claw their way back into the match.

Diogo Dalot - 6
Didn't contribute much offensively but was solid when required to defend. Dalot's preferred position is on the right, so he deserves praise for performing well on the opposite side in the past week.
Bryan Mbeumo - 8
Mbeumo and Cunha were the standout players on the pitch. He has hit the ground running since his move from Brentford and deserved his brace.
Benjamin Sesko - 7
Had opportunities to score but fell just short. The Slovenian is beginning to find his rhythm at Old Trafford, and grabbed an assist for Mbeumo.
Matheus Cunha - 8
His first goal since his summer transfer from Wolves was worth the wait. He was outstanding in the closing stages at Anfield and reiterated his importance with a stellar performance.
