, I think it’s easier for these centre-backs to control our striker.”
Despite his promising on-field performance, Cunha is facing off-field scrutiny. According to reports, he has already earned three yellow cards this season and will be in danger of another one-match suspension if he receives just two more bookings.
Casemiro’s Yellow Card Quandary
Defensive midfielder Casemiro featured prominently in the Liverpool match, earning a yellow card before being substituted. With only five yellow cards this season, Amorim may face selection dilemmas if Casemiro needs to avoid additional bookings. Casemiro has been cautious with his playing style throughout the campaign and now faces potential suspension.
Harry Maguire’s Resilience
Centre-back Harry Maguire received praise for his defensive display against Liverpool, particularly his late equalizer which crowned a successful match. Despite facing criticism throughout his career at Manchester United, Peter Crouch argued that Maguire has been unfairly demonized. “I just think it shows absolutely massive b******s to consistently go ,” he said on the That Peter Crouch Podcast.
The England defender’s form and contributions in recent matches have begun to silence critics, with his header against Liverpool being highlighted as one of his biggest goals for Manchester United.
Ruben Amorim, manager of Manchester United, is optimistic about the team’s prospects. “We’ve claimed victory in three of our last four league fixtures,” he stated. “And demands for my dismissal have died down – at least temporarily.” The Portuguese coach will be hoping to continue this positive run against Brighton.
Manchester United faces a challenging task in avoiding further bookings for Casemiro and ensuring Harry Maguire’s consistent performance, all while looking to maintain their momentum against Brighton. The upcoming match will undoubtedly shape the narrative of both teams’ seasons moving forward.
