They are the best — Danny Welbeck praises Amorim's Man United

Brighton striker Danny Welbeck was full of praise for Ruben Amorim's Manchester United, claiming that they were the strongest Red Devils team he has faced in a while. 

The Seagulls have dominated this tie in recent years, winning six of the last eight games against Manchester United. On Saturday, however, Amorim's side came out guns blazing and won 4-2. 

Speaking after the game, Welbeck told Sky Sports that Manchester United were organised and structured. He also praised the Red Devils' superior quality. 

"It is the best [Manchester United] side we have faced in a while,” he said, per Goal. 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.

"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."
