Manchester United secured a 4-2 win against Brighton, with a huge performance from Bryan Mbeumo.
United were up by three goals before a Danny Welbeck free-kick got Brighton back into the game.
Welbeck, who grew up in the United academy, was part of United's last Premier League title-winning squad in 2012/13.
The Englishman spoke about his former team after the match, making a big admission that could have some opponents worried.
What did Welbeck say about this Man United squad?
Speaking after the match, Welbeck said, "It is the best [Manchester United] side we have faced in a while. They were really organised and structured, they always have incredible players and today they really punished our mistakes.

"A difficult game but one we can look back and analyse. I do believe we can come here and get the three points."
Welbeck's goal became the seventh goal he has scored against his former team, which includes six in the Premier League.
Welbeck continued, "We are a bit gutted. There was part of the game early on where we dominated but a few silly mistakes led to goals. We are up against quality so they will punish you. It is a learning curve of us.
"We showed great character at the end but it wasn’t good enough. We put ourselves in a really difficult position. We have a great group and everyone is going to keep fighting, whatever the score is.
"We got two goals and were closing to maybe getting a third. It didn’t happen but it is a good sign we showed character."
