As quoted by The Manchester Evening News, Manchester United winger Daniel James has pinpointed exactly how they beat Brighton on Sunday afternoon.

What did he say?

The Red Devils eased past Graham Potter's side 3-1 in the Premier League, and they looked as menacing going forward as they have been all season.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's men racked up 21 shots on goal, with 11 of them finding the target. And, according to James, a key part of their victory came down to how the forwards interchanged with one another, and worked hard off the ball to win it back.

He said: "The gaffer at the start of the season... it was about moulding us as a team. As the weeks have gone by, the interplay... We played at Norwich and played at Chelsea, that interplay, creating chances going forward.

"That high press obviously is a big thing for us. Winning the ball high up and going on the counter and that's how we got our goals (against Brighton). We've just got to take every game in our stride and believe we can win every game because we've got the ability to do so."

Playing to your strengths

Make no mistake about it, United have shown that they are a devastating team on the break since Solskjaer took charge. The Marcus Rashford winner against Tottenham last season, or the 4-0 drubbing of Chelsea in the opening game of the Premier League campaign this time around, are just two examples of how the Red Devils are as dangerous as they come when the opposition loses the ball.

Against Brighton on Sunday, United looked fast and decisive going forward, not allowing the Seagulls to even breathe inside their own half. In games where they have looked to dominate the ball and simply try and create chances when teams are defending their own areas, they have looked woefully out of ideas. In that disappointing 1-0 defeat to Newcastle at St James' Park, Solskjaer's side had just three shots on target over the course of the 90 minutes.

James' insight into how they beat Brighton should act as another reminder to the United boss that the club should simply look to play to their strengths.
