What Danny Welbeck said about Man Utd immediately after Brighton defeat

Danny Welbeck claimed Ruben Amorim’s team is the best Manchester United side ‘we have faced in a while’.
This followed the Red Devils’ securing a mostly deserved 4-2 win against Brighton in the Premier League .
Three points secured also saw the Portuguese head coach secure his first three consecutive wins at the United helm in the English top-flight .

As things currently stand at the time of writing, 16 points secured in nine Premier League games sees us return to the top four spots.
Whether Manchester United stay put for the time being, of course, depends on follow-up results from Liverpool (currently losing to Brentford), Bournemouth, and Tottenham.
Regardless of what occurs over the rest of the weekend, Amorim should be proud of the improvement.
And who better to assess this new reality than former Red Devil Welbeck?
“ It is the best [Man Utd] side we have faced in a while. They were really organised and structured, they always have incredible players and today they really punished our mistakes ,” the Brighton striker told Sky Sports .
“A difficult game but one we can look back and analyse. I do believe we can come here and get the three points.
“I’m feeling really good. Fit and strong, I’m glad to be among the goals and most important thing is trying to get the three points and I will keep on doing my best.”

United are in a very good moment – as their recent record in the Premier League 100% confirms.
However, the road in any given season is a long one, especially in English football.
That said, few can deny Manchester United are building up a head of steam that all seemed to be kick-started by a 2-1 at Anfield.
Fortuitous, as some may claim, judging by the in-game stats, to the victor must go the spoils, and Amorim’s men have not let up since.
We remain confident that if the former Premier League greats can secure around eight or nine points from November’s batch of fixtures – we should be taken seriously as a contender for a Champions League slot.
