RUBEN'S RELIEF AT HARD VICTORY

FROM BACK PAGE

- 

We deserved the win against a very, very good team, a team that is really hard to press really high but we did well.

The Red Devils had lost six of their previous seven Premier League meetings with the Seagulls, who were looking to rack up a fourth straight win at Old Trafford.

But Brighton left the north west empty-handed despite a late push having fallen behind to Matheus Cunha's first United goal, a deflected Casemiro effort and Bryan Mbeumo's second-half drive.
