Manchester United is trying to win 3 consecutive games but encounters 3 major enemies. Last season, they suffered 8 kills! Amorim said that the double red would be insignificant.

With Manchester United's consecutive wins over Sunderland and Liverpool, Ruben Amorim's dismissal crisis has been temporarily lifted. However, fans will still feel uneasy in the next three Premier League games, because the next three opponents, Brighton, Nottingham Forest and Tottenham, killed the Red Devils by a combined 8 times last season! Is Manchester United really on track, or is it just a flash in the pan? Amorim's team needs to prove themselves with three consecutive victories.

In recent seasons, Manchester United lost its home games against Brighton and away games against Nottingham Forest and Tottenham, and both were led by Amorim. Saturday's opponent, Brighton, has even won an astonishing three consecutive games as a guest at Old Trafford. Not only that, Brighton defeated Manchester City, Chelsea and Newcastle United this season, drew with Tottenham, and is quite strong against strong teams.

Nottingham Forest beat Manchester United twice at home and away last season. Among them, it was former Red Devils youth training player Anthony Elanga who scored the winning goal at home. Ten Hag originally bought the Swedish fast horse for 15 million pounds and spent 100 million euros to sign Anthony, which made Manchester United miserable.

Since the 2-2 away draw with Tottenham in April 2023, Manchester United has not avoided failure in any game away from North London. Even in that draw two years ago, the Red Devils conceded a two-goal lead and narrowly escaped defeat. In the 2023/24 and 2024/25 seasons, Manchester United lost all 6 times they faced Tottenham, with a goal-to-loss ratio of 3-12.

Last season, Manchester United was defeated by Tottenham in the home and away league, League Cup and Europa League finals. Especially the 0-1 loss in the Europa League final was a huge blow to the club, resulting in the team having no European competition to play this season.

So while last week's superb victory over Liverpool at Anfield restored some positive vibes at United, Amorim knows those vibes could change again if a positive result or two are not achieved in the coming weeks. But if you can continue to win, you will build better momentum and boost morale.

Data shows that Manchester United’s last three-game winning streak in all competitions was in January this year, but the three-game winning streak in the Premier League has to be traced back to February 2024. At that time, Ten Hag’s team won five consecutive victories in all competitions, including defeating Wolves, West Ham United, Aston Villa and Luton in the Premier League.

"This victory is important today, but not so important tomorrow." Amorim said when leaving Anfield Stadium. "The challenge now is to build a better future. Defeating the defending champion is a significant, but insignificant step. A good team must achieve more. If we can show today's spirit in training and games God, we will win a lot of games. But to do this, everyone needs to speak with actions. Now, the team must focus on Brighton."

Liverpool star Carragher believes that Manchester United will face new challenges in the next game, because opponents will know more about the operation of Amorin's 343 formation long pass tactics. The two recent opponents, Sunderland and Liverpool, both played very open games with Manchester United, thus giving the Red Devils a chance to counterattack.

Carragher said: "Manchester United did win, but this cannot cover up the problems since Amorim took charge. He can beat Manchester City, Liverpool and Arsenal, but we often discuss the 343 system. One of the reasons why I think it is not suitable for Manchester United is that in It cannot tear down other teams when it needs to attack. Perhaps when Manchester United is not favored to win, this system can be effective through a 5-back and 4-man attack. However, when Manchester United is attacking, especially at home, the front four may not be so active in dropping back to defend."
