Gary Neville names two Man Utd players who 'will win lots of football matches'

Manchester United have had a massive week under Ruben Amorim by beating Liverpool away and Brighton at home. 

Amorim's side looks hungry for goals, and two of the new signings are starting to play at their best. 

Bryan Mbeumo scored a brace against Brighton, and Matheus Cunha scored his first goal for United in the 4-2 win. 

Gary Neville spoke to Sky Sports after the match, and he believes Mbeumo and Cunha are two bright spots for United, but there is still work to do. 

What did Neville say about the combination of Mbeumo and Cunha?

Neville was asked about what needs to happen to keep being convinced by United, and the former player said, "I suppose consistency. It's been a team and a club that you can't really rely on for so long.

"The idea of winning two or three matches doesn't take that away. You can't build that trust back in an instant. That's still not there, but I think that there's something happening there."

United have won three consecutive games, starting with their win over Sunderland, which also got the team's first clean sheet of the season. 

Neville continued, "With Mbeumo and Cunha, the risk was removed from those signings in the sense that they've been in the Premier League before, and they've got that hunger to deliver at a different level.

"There was a lot of things about those signings that you felt more comfortable with, and when I look at United now and Mbeumo looks like he belongs, he looks hungry, he looks like he wants to score goals."

Mbeumo has now scored four Premier League goals for United, with the Cameroonian sitting as the club's top scorer so far. 

Neville said, "It wasn't quite happening for him and Cunha in the first maybe four or five matches when they were getting into the positions they always wanted the ball, but they weren't maybe taking their chances.

"But Manchester United have got something to build on. Those two will win a lot of football matches for this club.

"If you can keep that back five compact and among them there's some decent defenders, half-decent defenders, that back five can just stay solid and the midfield in front, let them two up front go and do what they do.

"I think it could be sort of a recipe for Manchester United to have a decent season to get into the top six."
