Man United 4-2 Brighton: Matheus Cunha, Casemiro create Red Devils history in crucial Premier League win

Brazilian duo Matheus Cunha and Casemiro were both on the scoresheet as Manchester United recorded a 4-2 victory over Brighton & Hove Albion in the Premier League on Saturday.

Cunha's first Man United goal sent the Red Devils on their way at Old Trafford, before Casemiro registered a second, with his effort being deflected into the back of the net 10 minutes later.

History was created when Casemiro registered, as it was the first time that Man United have ever had two different Brazilian goalscorers in a Premier League match.

Antony, Alex Telles, Fred, Andreas Pereira, Fabio, Anderson, Rafael and Kleberson are the other Brazilian players to have turned out for Man United in the past.

The Red Devils had a nervy end to the match, with Brighton scoring twice to make it a 3-2 game, before Bryan Mbeumo netted his second of the contest in the final exchanges.

"It is hard to say something now. I have worked so hard for this. This is the club and this performance needs to be common and normal. I feel so good to be part of this. My first goal here at Old Trafford, I dreamed a lot of this but of course the win is much more important," Cunha told BBC Sport.

"It is so hard to say something. I joked with Bryan [Mbeumo] and [Benjamin] Sesko, I told them I need to have this feeling [scoring], I felt so anxious to be a part of this and when I scored they said 'look you can enjoy it now.' All the day the support for my team-mates, I feel so good to be part of this.

"We need to be a bit more calm next time. We know the quality of Brighton, they always have hard games and of course they have the capacity to come back but I think in the end - it is part of the game and the most important thing is in the end that we win.

"I think we are there now. We need to feel this is common. This is a club that needs to be in these kind of positions and I hope we can continue like this to finish the season where we want."

The victory has moved Man United into fourth spot in the Premier League table, only three points off the leaders Arsenal, who will tackle Crystal Palace on Sunday afternoon.

When are Man United next in action?

Man United will be aiming to make it four Premier League wins in a row when they head to Nottingham Forest next Saturday for their penultimate game before the November international break.

Amorim's side will then travel to North London to tackle Tottenham Hotspur on November 8, and they will not be back at Old Trafford until the clash with Everton on November 24.
