Manchester United fans had plenty to cheer about after a composed 2-0 victory over Sunderland, with standout performances across the pitch. Benjamin Šeško’s back-to-back goalscoring run, Mason Mount’s long-awaited first pl goal at old trafford, and a clean sheet on debut for goalkeeper Senne Lammens gave United their third league win in four games, Softfootball reports.
For many supporters, the result offered a welcome balance of defensive solidity and attacking flair. While not flawless, the performance showed signs of a team slowly finding rhythm under Ruben Amorim who has been under alot of pressure to deliver, with the clean sheet in particular easing recent concerns about United’s defensive vulnerabilities.
Praise for Sesko, Mount, and Amad
Several fans highlighted the contributions of United’s attacking talents.
@ghanaYesu was delighted;
Sesko back-to-back goals, Mbeumo and Amad masterclass, Lammens clean sheet in his first game, Mason Mount masterclass. De Ligt proving why he’s our best CB. 3 points, clean sheet. Nice game but wasn’t enough.
@utdrah gave a detailed breakdown:
Yoro has been very solid at the back with De Ligt stepping in confidently. Amad continues to impress with his creativity and energy, while Mbeumo’s movement and assist have been top class. Sesko once again showed Gyökeres what a real striker looks like with his finishing and presence. We easily deserved five goals today.
Meanwhile,after the game yesterday Manchester United via its official X handle, posted an exclusive post match video of goalscorer Benjamin Sesko answering questions and giving his reaction to is first goal for the red devils at old trafford, watch video below;
@akamoon praised Sesko’s all-round game, he said:
Sesko had the best individual brilliance today, winning the duels and setting up key passes that would have led to goals, not forgetting his goal too. GGMU.
Lammens Shines on Dream Debut
One of the biggest stories of the night was Senne Lammens’ impressive debut. Fans praised his composure, leadership, and clean sheet performance.
@onevsone wrote:
Perfect debut from Lammens delivers what United desperately needed – their first clean sheet of the season and a Player of the Match performance that silences defensive critics.”
@ambersmith echoed the sentiment:
What a start! Debut Clean sheet Player of the Match Absolutely smashing it right out of the gate!”
After the game, Manchester United through its official X handle, shared a confirmation post showing that the young Belgian Goalkeeper Senne Lammens making his first start for the club was named the player of the match for his superb performances and keeping the team’s first clean sheet of the season, see post below:
For @inkosiyendawo, his leadership stood out:
The way he shouts and controls his defense, that will win us games. First time in a long time to have trust in a Man U goalkeeper. Manchester is red.”
Mount Wins Back Fans’ Trust
Mason Mount, who had struggled with match fitness since he joined the club earned praise for a much-improved showing.
@pinkmouse defended Amorim’s faith in the midfielder, saying:
I don’t know why people are surprised on Mount’s performance. Amorim said it not once not twice how much he wants Mount to play and how he intends bringing the beast outta him. Emotions let you all blind because you clearly don’t want the coach. Mount brings intensity to the team.
Interestingly, after the game Manchester United shared via their official X handle, an exclusive and new angle of Mason Mount’s first goal of the season and also his first for the club in the preimer league, watch video below;
@johanChebi added:
Confidence in Mount. He is a good player. Shown a good record all through, he easily passes for an ‘a must’ player in our team! Brilliant!
Room for Improvement Despite Win
Not all supporters were fully convinced. Some noted recurring flaws in United’s play.
@tribalcraft observed stating:
Still the same mistakes. They suck at anticipating basic play and that was evident in the second half. Luke Shaw sucks. Dalot sucks. I love you Senne Lammens. Happy Šeško scored. These players need to work on one-touch football and accepting passes on the half turn.
@oluwatosinosun said:
Great win but the attackers aren’t finishing off the high-quality chances the system creates. There is always an overload on attack and we still somehow won’t score. But loved the commitment from the players.
@leecousin was cautiously optimistic:
It’s a good win but no less than I expect against a team fresh out the Championship. I will judge how we deal with Liverpool next. Positives to be taken especially with the clean sheet and goal from Sesko.
Looking Ahead
While the victory lifted the mood, many fans stressed the importance of consistency. @betgeninue summed it all up with:
Good job! Now we need to build on this after the international break and start with 5 PL wins in a row. I believe we can achieve this. C’mon United!!!
Manchester United and fans all over the world who be happy with the three points and clean sheet, they will be hoping this could be the start of something special for the red devils, after the game the teams official X handle, shared a post match reaction video showing the players thanking the fans for their much needed support especially after the poor run of form the team has been going through, watch the video below;
With Liverpool looming after the international break, Manchester United’s progress under Amorim faces its toughest test yet. For now, though, fans can savor the sight of back-to-back goals for Sesko, a rediscovered Mason Mount, and the emergence of Lammens as a potential new hero between the sticks.
