Amorim breathes a sigh of relief! MU now has a star aspiring to Salah’s level

Manchester United is steadily getting back on the path to victory following a rocky beginning, with Bryan Mbeumo, the £71 million acquisition, being the standout name energizing the “Red Devils” supporters.

Man United’s season began in chaos. They failed to win their first two matches in the Premier League against Arsenal and Fulham, then suffered a painful League Cup exit to lower-tier Grimsby Town after a penalty shootout.

However, since then, Amorim’s squad has slowly regained their winning touch. Three consecutive home wins over Burnley, Chelsea, and Sunderland have brought full joy. Despite two unfortunate losses to Man City and Brentford in between, United now have 10 points from 7 rounds, temporarily climbing into the upper half of the table—a clear improvement compared to the same period last season.

More importantly, this positive sign is linked to the emergence of Bryan Mbeumo, a player whom experts are comparing to elite names like Mohamed Salah and Antoine Semenyo.

Joining Man United in the summer 2025 transfer window for £71 million from Brentford, Mbeumo carries the hope of revitalizing the “Red Devils” attack, which had lacked vigor. Last season, only Everton and three relegated teams scored fewer goals than Man United, a statistic that disappointed fans. Therefore, bringing in Mbeumo along with new signings Benjamin Sesko and Matheus Cunhais seen as a comprehensive effort by the club to rebuild their offensive line. And it seems this plan is starting to pay off.

During the victory over Sunderland, Mbeumo delivered a clever assist that allowed Mason Mount to open the scoring, marking his first assist at Old Trafford. Even more notably, according to statistics from Squawka, Mbeumo became the third Premier League player in 2025 to score 10 goals and provide at least 5 assists, standing alongside Salah (Liverpool) and Semenyo (Bournemouth).

This clearly demonstrates the efficiency and influence of the Cameroonian star in attack. With his breakthrough ability, speed, and agility, he is quickly becoming the brightest spark in Amorim’s lineup.

Although Mbeumo has only been involved in 3 goals since arriving at Old Trafford, his impact is undeniable. In a context where forwards like Matheus Cunha and Joshua Zirkzee have yet to show consistency, Mbeumo is the “fresh breeze” Man United needs to restore their attacking identity.
