Manchester United's impressive form continued with a 3-0 win over Brighton at the Amex Stadium, moving them up to fifth in the Premier League and extending their unbeaten run to 15 games.

Teenager Mason Greenwood opened the scoring with a crisp finish, bamboozling Seagulls defender Lewis Dunk with quick footwork.

United were ruthless in the final third, with midfielder Bruno Fernandes netting via a deflection and then volleying in to finish a swift counter-attack.

Brighton did pose some threat in the second half, but David de Gea made a flying save to deny Aaron Connolly as Graham Potter's side remain in 15th place, six points above the relegation zone.

United's performance was a far cry from the slow and structured football they struggled with under previous managers, showcasing a free-flowing brand of football that has now seen them score 38 goals during their 15-game unbeaten run.
