Ruben Amorim<\/a> has claimed that Manchester United<\/a>\u2019s performance in the defeat to Arsenal<\/a> was better than when they beat Liverpool<\/a> and Brighton<\/a>.<\/p>\n The Red Devils suffered a 1-0 home loss to Arsenal in their first match of the 2025-26 campaign but have turned their form around in recent weeks.<\/p>\n United have won their last three games in a row \u2013 beating Sunderland, Liverpool and Brighton to surge into the Premier League<\/a> top four.<\/p>\n Speaking after Saturday\u2019s 4-2 win over Brighton, Amorim said: \u2018I think the best game we did this season was against Arsenal, the first one.\u2019<\/p>\n The United boss added: \u2018[But] it was a more complete performance [against Brighton than Liverpool]. <\/p>\n \t\t\t\tGet personalised updates on Manchester United every day\t\t\t<\/p>\n Wake up to find news on your club in your inbox every morning with Metro\u2019s Football Newsletter. <\/p>\n Sign up to our newsletter<\/a> and then select your team in the link so we can send you football news tailored to you. <\/p>\n \u2018You can say whatever you want about Liverpool, but they didn\u2019t deserve to lose. We deserved to win but they didn\u2019t deserve to lose.<\/p>\n \u2018I think today [against Brighton], we did a little bit of everything. We had the ball.<\/p>\n \t\t \u2018We created chances, we defended high [up the pitch] and low [down the pitch]. I liked [the performance] more today than last weekend.\u2019<\/p>\n Meanwhile, Amorim has revealed that United defender Luke Shaw<\/a> is struggling with a \u2018virus\u2019.<\/p>\n Shaw lasted for 65 minutes against Brighton before he was replaced by Ayden Heaven<\/a>.<\/p>\n Amorim, though, has insisted that Shaw will be fully fit for United\u2019s next match against Nottingham Forest on November 1.<\/p>\n \u2018[Luke Shaw] had a virus during the week,\u2019 Amorim said. \u2018He struggled a little in the game. But he\u2019s going to be ready for the next one.\u2019<\/p>\n Amorim has also described Bryan Mbeumo as a \u2018machine\u2019 after the summer signing scored twice in the victory over Brighton.<\/p>\n \u201dHe\u2019s a working machine,\u2019 Amorim added. \u2018He\u2019s so good in transitions. He\u2019s improving in the final third. <\/p>\n \u2018The connection with Amad Diallo. It\u2019s really hard to beat these two guys, because they change positions, they are fast and so good in one-vs-ones.\u2019<\/p>\n Mbeumo told Sky Sports: \u2018I enjoy it a lot here. It hasn\u2019t been easy at the start. <\/p>\n \u2018It\u2019s a new environment, a new expectation but I think everything is going the right way 1761450072.<\/p>\n \u2018The work we put in, the effort, the togetherness we give on the pitch is key and after we try to stick to the plan and we try to play as best as possible.\u2019<\/p>\n Arrow Arrow Arrow![\"Manchester](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/GettyImages-2243252417.jpg\")
