Win against Sunderland, then win against Liverpool. Two Premier League wins for the first time with Amorim as United manager. On Saturday, United struck with goals from newcomers Mbeumo and Cunha plus Casemiro against Brighton and “lifted the roof” at Old Trafford. In Brentford, a sloppy bunch of Liverpool players walked off the pitch with a 3-2 loss. The fourth Premier League game with a loss in a row. Arsenal now lead by four points over Liverpool, with one fewer games played. For the first time since Ole Gunnar’s Solskjaer led Manchester United in a Premier League title race, United supporters sense something is going on.
Solskjaer led United to 3rd place in the 2019/20 season, but miles away from Manchester City at the top. The following season, the situation was completely different. Then United stayed in the title race and finished in 2nd place, 12 points behind league champions City. On Saturday, after the strong win against Brighton at Old Trafford, and three games in a row of wins, Ruben Amorim is heading for something completely different from the miserable 8th place of Ten Hag and the historically weak 15th place of Ten Hag/Amorim last season.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer cracked the Premier League code right from the start as a super substitute from a few chaotic days in December 2018. Ruben Amorim has finally delivered against a Premier League newcomer (Sunderland), a reigning Premier League champion (Liverpool), a “mid-table” club (Brighton) that has caused big problems for United in recent seasons. This in a row!
While the Liverpool players and Slot are “licking their wounds” after four Premier League games in a row without a point, United players and Ruben Amorim are floating in towards the next game. Then next. Then next. Manchester United suddenly find themselves with more points (1) than reigning Premier League champions and arch-rivals Liverpool. That’s how Man Utd supporters get Solskjaer flashbacks!
