Amorim finds the strike partnership Manchester United have been waiting for

Cunha scored his first goal for MU.

What pleased the Portuguese coach the most was not the 4-2 scoreline, but the way his team started to play as a real team - rhythmic, cohesive and able to make a difference through proactive play. At the heart of that change were two names: Bryan Mbeumo and Matheus Cunha.

When the attack knows how to "breathe in unison"

In a fiery game against Brighton, Mbeumo and Cunha not only scored but also showed signs of two players who understand their roles in the system. Mbeumo scored twice, taking his tally for the season to five, while Cunha scored his first for the club – a worthy reward for his hard work and perseverance. But it wasn’t those stats that really impressed Amorim.

What he saw was an attack that began to operate on tactical intent, rather than waiting for individual moments. Cunha acted as a modern-day “false 9”, constantly dropping deep, stretching the opposition defence, creating space for Mbeumo to run into. Mbeumo, in turn, with his speed and keen positioning, was the dagger that cut into the space Cunha opened up.

This fluid exchange makes Man United’s attacking system more dynamic and unpredictable than ever. Not only attacking, both also participate in high pressing, support the defense and switch states extremely quickly. The statistics are just the surface: Mbeumo has two goals, Cunha one, but behind that are dozens of smart moves, effective challenges and efforts off the ball to help the club maintain constant pressure.

Mbeumo is shining at MU.

That image is a far cry from the Man United of last season - disjointed, lacking cohesion and reliant on inspiration. Amorim has brought a new spirit: every pass, every run has a tactical meaning.

Ruben Amorim and the mark of the philosophy of "proactive football"

Since arriving at Old Trafford, Amorim has stuck to his philosophy: control by ideas, not by possession. Man United didn’t dominate possession against Brighton, but they dominated the tempo and space. Whenever they won the ball back, Man United switched quickly, exploiting the gaps between the two lines of the opponent. Mbeumo’s two goals came from exemplary counter-attacks – proof of a team that understood the coach’s philosophy and trusted each other.

After the match, Amorim did not talk about numbers. He simply commented calmly: “Today, we put in a complete performance. The players knew what to do in every phase of the match.” That sentence encapsulated the entire philosophy he was building: a team that knows how to control the rhythm, knows how to withstand pressure and knows how to explode at the right time.

Amorim has a pair of strikers worth waiting for.

What is remarkable is that Amorim did not seek to create stars, but to create a system that allowed every player to shine in their role. Mbeumo became the energy source for the front line - the one who initiated the pressing and inspired his teammates. Cunha was the hinge between the midfield and the attack, helping Man United circulate the ball more coherently and unpredictably.

From a place of disarray and crisis, Man United now begins to look like a team that is organized, has a clear direction and especially has confidence. Three consecutive victories are not only a series of positive results, but also a testament to the evolution in football thinking that Amorim brings to the Premier League.

After all, the most important thing that Man United fans noticed was not the number of goals or the position in the rankings, but the feeling that their team had truly “come back to life”. Mbeumo and Cunha, through their quiet efforts and harmony in playing style, became symbols of the new Man United - united, modern and knowing how to win with collective strength.

If that spirit can be maintained, Old Trafford may no longer be a place of disappointment, but a fortress of desire and belief. Because in the football that Ruben Amorim is building, victory does not only come from goals, but also from understanding, trust and team spirit - values that are gradually reborn at Manchester United.
