Bryan Mbeumo maintained his outstanding form for Manchester United by netting the first goal against Tottenham, leading fans of the Red Devils to hail him as the “ideal fit” for Ruben Amorim’s forward line.
The match Tottenham vs Man United was full of drama as both teams played cautiously for over half an hour. The deadlock was broken in the 32nd minute when Amad Diallo delivered a precise cross from the right flank, allowing Bryan Mbeumo to leap and head the ball into Spurs’ net.
That marked the Cameroonian striker’s fifth goal in 11 Premier League games this season, continuing his perfect week after being awarded Player of the Month for October. Mbeumo also maintained a special record: no player has scored more goals at Tottenham Hotspur’s ground than him (4 goals) in the last five EPL seasons – a true “archenemy” for the North London club.
Under Ruben Amorim, Mbeumo has been positioned as the sole striker and shines thanks to his positional awareness, strong finishing, and excellent synergy with Amad Diallo. This duo has become a hot topic among fans on social media.
One fan wrote: “Mbeumo is fully exploiting Amad’s abilities this season.” Another commented: “The connection between Mbeumo and Amad finally makes sense.” Meanwhile, a humorous supporter shared: “What can we do to postpone AFCON? We can’t afford to lose both Mbeumo and Amad right now.” A wave of positive reactions shows that the link between these two players is one of the rare bright spots in Amorim’s ongoing team-building process.
However, despite Mbeumo’s opener for United, Tottenham fought back fiercely in the second half. Mathys Tel equalized before Richarlison scored a stunning long-range shot to put Spurs ahead 2-1. But the drama wasn’t over, as Matthijs de Ligt scored a crucial header in stoppage time to seal a thrilling 2-2 draw.
After 10 rounds, Mbeumo has scored 5 goals in the Premier League, affirming the value of the £65 million transfer United made in the summer. At 26, he demonstrates maturity in performance and mentality, bringing a fresh look to the Red Devils’ attack.
With his current hot streak, Manchester United fans have reason to believe Bryan Mbeumo will become the “new Van Persie” at Old Trafford – a player who can redefine the Red Devils’ attacking style in the Ruben Amorim era.
