Mbeumo rekindles 20-goal dream for Man Utd

When Mbeumo put pen to paper on the £71m deal, many were skeptical.

Bryan Mbeumo may not be Manchester United's biggest star yet, but he's bringing something Old Trafford has been missing for over a decade - a striker who knows how to spark hope. His two goals against Brighton last weekend not only helped Ruben Amorim's side secure a third successive win, but also put Mbeumo on course to reach 20 Premier League goals, something no one at the club has achieved since Robin van Persie in 2013.

From the faith of Amorim

When Mbeumo signed for £71m, many were skeptical. He had come from Brentford, not a big club, and had never played in the high-pressure environment of Old Trafford. But Amorim saw something in the Cameroonian that United lacked: speed, intelligent movement and the ability to make a difference in the final third.

In his debut against Arsenal, Mbeumo made the Gunners' defense miserable. He did not score, but left his mark with his energy and courage. The first goal came in the League Cup, and from then on Mbeumo continued to improve. After 9 Premier League matches, the Cameroonian striker has 4 goals, an impressive performance for a rookie, in the Premier League.

“I don’t put limits on myself. I always want to aim for great things,” Mbeumo said after the win over Brighton. Those words reflect the spirit that Amorim is instilling in the club’s dressing room, the spirit of daring to dream, daring to fight and not being afraid of failure.

Along with Matheus Cunha and Benjamin Sesko, Mbeumo forms a promising attacking trio. All three arrived at Old Trafford this summer, and it took time for them to find their groove. But after a few weeks, the positive signs have arrived.

But now, Mbeumo has shown his worth.

Against Brighton, all three had their say on the goals. Mbeumo finished coolly, Cunha opened the scoring with a delicate touch, and Sesko increasingly proved his worth with his intelligent off-the-ball movement. After a season in which United failed to have a single player reach the 10-goal mark in the Premier League, the trio are breathing new life into a dry attack.

“It’s not easy to adapt to a big club, with so much pressure and expectation. But we help each other every day, and now things are starting to click,” Mbeumo said. That team spirit is making the Manchester United dressing room a more trusting place, after years of division and disappointment.

More than numbers

If Mbeumo can reach 20 goals, he will write a memorable chapter for Manchester United. But more important is the way he scores, his intelligent runs, his ability to create space and his courage in front of goal. Mbeumo is not the type of striker who is arrogant or loud, but the type of player who works quietly, efficiently and modestly, an image that "Red Devils" fans have not seen for a long time.

Mbeumo’s story is also a microcosm of the rebuilding journey that Amorim is building. Unlike the summers of reckless spending, MU this season plays with a plan, discipline and a clear collective spirit. Amorim is creating a team that knows how to take advantage of youth and fighting spirit, something that Sir Alex once considered the DNA of Manchester United.

Bryan Mbeumo is playing better and better.

Twelve years after Robin van Persie helped Manchester United win the Premier League with 26 goals, Old Trafford has yet to see anyone match that feat. Big stars like Romelu Lukaku, Marcus Rashford and Cristiano Ronaldo have all failed to reach 20 goals in the same season. But Mbeumo, a signing that was considered suspicious, is getting closer with his drive and desire.

It’s too early to talk about a historic milestone, but what’s certain is that Manchester United are resurrected. Every acceleration from Mbeumo, every shot on target from Cunha, every pass from Sesko… gives the belief that the “Red Devils” have escaped the darkness of the past.

Four goals do not make a legend. But for Bryan Mbeumo, it is confirmation that Manchester United have found someone who can turn desire into goals, and goals into belief.
