Brighton & Hove Albion's emphatic 3-1 victory over Manchester United at Old Trafford on Sunday has sent shockwaves through the Premier League, but it's the Seagulls' post-match comments that have truly raised eyebrows. With confidence brimming, Brighton's players have boldly declared their dominance over the Red Devils.

Captain Lewis Dunk, who was instrumental in the victory, summed up the mood in the Brighton camp. "We've had a good record against them over the years. Hopefully it continues for a long time," Dunk stated. "We were comfortable at the end, we didn't give them a chance all game. We were comfortable, we pressed them at the end. We've learned that to win a football match, it doesn't have to be pretty."

Echoing Dunk's sentiments, striker Georginio Rutter expressed his belief that Brighton can consistently come to Old Trafford and secure victories. "We're happy, very happy. We were a bit disappointed over the Christmas period, the whole period because we didn't get more points. We came back in 2025 very good and with confidence. We're happy with the three points today. There's a good bunch of fans here, it's difficult to play here. But today we stayed very, very calm, with confidence. That's why you don't have to get stressed to play our football. Today was good."

What does this mean for Manchester United?

The Brighton players' confidence is a stark contrast to the growing unrest at Old Trafford. United have struggled for consistency this season and their latest defeat has only served to highlight their vulnerabilities. The Seagulls' comments will undoubtedly add fuel to the fire for the Red Devils' supporters and pile pressure on manager Rúben Amorim.

The victory has not only given Brighton three valuable points but has also shifted the psychological balance between the two teams. The Seagulls now believe they can consistently get the better of United, and this belief could be a game-changer in future encounters.
