Coach Ruben Amorim excited Manchester United supporters with his heartfelt celebration after the intense 4-2 triumph against Brighton.
The Old Trafford side is gradually recovering after a concerning start to the season, including their elimination from the League Cup by Grimsby Town. However, things are rapidly improving under Amorim's leadership.
As the summer signings began to settle in, Man United secured three consecutive Premier League wins, climbing back into the Top 4 amid a chaotic round of fixtures. In the match against Brighton, Matheus Cunha opened the scoring, marking his first goal since joining for £62.5 million from Wolves. Casemiro doubled the lead, while Bryan Mbeumo shone with a brace, including the decisive goal to seal the win.
After the match, the Portuguese coach pumped his fist in the air and shouted loudly, “Come on!” towards the stands before leaving the pitch. A fan captured the moment and shared it on social media, instantly going viral.
One supporter commented: “He said the good days are coming back! That’s my coach!”.
Another wrote: “It’s great to see him. Amorim has faced a lot of criticism, hopefully this winning streak continues.”
When asked about the current impressive form, Amorim calmly replied: “I feel very good but not surprised. The whole team showed the right spirit, and with that mindset, everything goes the right way. We deserved the 4-2 win.”
Regarding Brighton’s near equalizer, he admitted: “When we conceded, we were a bit worried but reacted better than before. Brighton is a strong team, but today’s victory was well deserved.”
When questioned about moments of self-doubt, Amorim affirmed: “Every coach experiences doubt, but I always knew what I had to do. I have a clear philosophy about how Man United should play, and that has helped me overcome tough times.”
The joy doubled when Matheus Cunha shared his feelings: “My message to the fans? I’m one of them too. I grew up with this club, wearing the Man United shirt and scoring is a dream come true.”
