Just after defeating Tottenham, MU receives bad news in the Premier League

Although he just shone brightly helping Manchester United beat Tottenham, striker Bryan Mbeumo alarmed fans by showing a limp while leaving the pitch after the match.

Manchester United had an outstanding day at Old Trafford with a convincing 2-0 victory over Tottenham Hotspur. This marks the fourth consecutive win for the "Red Devils" under Michael Carrick’s leadership, confirming the team’s strong resurgence. However, the fans’ joy quickly turned to concern when behind-the-scenes footage of Bryan Mbeumo surfaced.

In this match, Bryan Mbeumo once again proved why he is the most successful signing in Man Utd’s attacking line this season. The 26-year-old Cameroonian forward posed a constant threat to Spurs’ defense with his dynamic play and intelligent positioning.

He was the one who converted the team’s advantage with a delicate finish following a well-rehearsed corner kick routine, exactly as practiced. This goal not only broke the deadlock but also raised his total goals in the 2025/26 Premier League to 9, making him the club’s top scorer.

Despite playing well, Mbeumo was unexpectedly substituted by coach Michael Carrick in the second half. At first, many optimistically thought it was a tactical change to preserve energy. However, a video circulating on social media platform X (Twitter) after the match told a different story.

Reporters’ cameras caught Mbeumo moving with difficulty, limping as he passed through security to leave Old Trafford. The uncomfortable appearance and hobbling steps of the Cameroonian striker clearly indicated he suffered an injury, although its severity remains unknown.

In the post-match press conference, Michael Carrick kept details about his player’s condition confidential, fueling more speculation. Since returning from the Africa Cup of Nations, Mbeumo has become an irreplaceable striker, especially as he is outperforming Benjamin Sesko and Matheus Cunha.

Man Utd is entering an extremely tough fixture period. Their next challenge is an away game against West Ham United on Tuesday. If Mbeumo cannot recover in time, it will be a huge blow to the team’s ambition to maintain their winning streak. For now, all fans can do is anxiously await an official update from the medical staff at Carrington, hoping it is just a minor ache from intense on-field clashes.
