Manchester United celebrated its third consecutive victory, and before the game, the famous player Gary Neville also received the Premier League Hall of Fame award. After the game, Neville believed that this week was Amorin's "best week" as Manchester United coach. He believed that Manchester United's performance had shown the potential to hit the top six.

Neville said on the Sky Sports program: "I think this is the best week since he (Amorim) took office. Looking back on the situation a few weeks ago, I would not be surprised at all if there was discussion about his possible dismissal. Before the October international break, I felt that he was under great pressure and even felt that a coaching change might be imminent. But that victory at Anfield showed that football can change the situation in an instant, and Today is another extremely crucial victory. Of course, he is not completely out of danger, and it is not the time to celebrate, but I think Manchester United is finally where they should be. When other teams finish this round, they may fall to sixth or seventh, but this is actually where most people expected them to be at the beginning of the season. "

Winning can resolve doubts, and winning can build confidence. Ren, Neville pointed out, "This is a really important week for the manager and the club. You can see the celebration after the end, the relief and joy is far more than just an ordinary win, they really need these wins. A few weeks ago I was worried that the players were losing trust in Amorim's system, and even us commentators were making that kind of noise and making the doubts louder. But there is no doubt that when you and the club When talking to people inside, they all say that the players really like him as a person. This is very important because obviously he has never lost the dressing room and the players are still willing to fight for him and win for him. "

Amorim said that the victory over Brighton made him see the team becoming more complete, and he personally liked this one better than last week's away win against Liverpool. As an old Manchester United, Neville obviously knows better what it means to beat Liverpool, "No matter what season it is, winning at Anfield is special. For Amorim, especially doing it when no one expected it, it gave the team a huge improvement. Next we will look forward to the game against Nottingham Forest next week, and then the away challenge to Tottenham. This month is still a difficult task, but I think this is the month that changes destiny. If last week started badly in Liverpool, one day Everything may be completely different. It feels completely different now, the team has momentum, the atmosphere and morale are good. "

Neville specifically mentioned the performance of Mbemo and Cunha and considered it a positive sign, "What I want to see is stability. The Manchester United team and club have not had a sense of trust for too long. Winning two or three games in a row isn't going to change that right away, but I feel like there are definitely some positive things happening right now. Mbemo The two signings with Cunha are less risky as they have both played in the Premier League and are eager to prove themselves at a higher level. They have many reassuring qualities about them. Now it seems that Mbemo has fully integrated into the team. He has desire, hunger and wants to score goals. In the first four or five games of the season, although they were in the right positions and involved, they were never able to capitalize on their chances. Now United finally have a foundation to build on. These two will win a lot of games for the team. only The back five must remain compact, the defense must be solid, the midfield must continue to provide support, and the two players in the frontcourt can play freely - I think this is a feasible solution for Manchester United to compete for the top six. "

Compared with Mbemo and Cunha, who are already Premier League veterans, the performance of first-year Sheshko has not yet met people's expectations. After coming off the bench against Liverpool, he returned to the starting lineup. Although he failed to score, he assisted Mbemo to score the goal that "changed the sound of Old Trafford." Neville commented: "There are still doubts about Sheshko. His signing is obviously more risky and has more unknown factors. He does not seem to be fully integrated yet. This is not just a question of goals, but his participation in the team coordination. You can see that Bruno and Mount (who did not play in this game) cooperate very smoothly with Mbemo and Cunha. But Sheshko has not yet become part of this chemical reaction. . His rhythm has not kept up with the team's speed, and he still needs time to adapt. Of course, he is still very young and needs time to grow. But he must find his form as soon as possible. After all, if the three of them can truly form a frontcourt trident, it will be a huge weapon.
