Danny Welbeck claims Brighton came up against the ‘best Manchester United team in a while’ following his team’s defeat at Old Trafford.

United claimed a third successive Premier League win for the first time since February 2024 as they beat Brighton 4-2 on Saturday.

Bryan Mbeumo added United’s third on the hour mark to seemingly put the game to bed before Welbeck and Charalampos Kostoulas gave Brighton hope with two late goals.
