Michael Carrick spots key Bryan Mbeumo detail

The most startling thing about Mbeumo’s start at Old Trafford is how comfortable he has looked in a United shirt.

Even when the team wasn’t winning to start the season, he consistently looked like the key threat in games, something which Amorim pointed out as well.

So it was expected that once the team starts clicking, Mbeumo will take it up another notch, which is exactly what has happened.

Carrick spotted this detail, noting how Mbeumo ‘looks like’ he can cope with being at a big club.

He said: “I like their new signings. Particularly, Cunha and Mbeumo. I like Mbeumo, he looks like he can cope with being at a big club and in a successful team. There are shoots, but it’s just consistency, you look at Liverpool, Arsenal, and City, consistency gets you a long way in this league.”

Man Utd don’t have one major worry about Mbeumo

When a player starts on fire at a new club, the initial euphoria gives way to one key worry, and United have been witness to it.

Before Mbeumo, another left-footed right-winger thrilled the Old Trafford faithful with a blazing start to life at the club.

Antony looked unstoppable at the beginning of his career at the club, but because he was new to the league, he was quickly figured out by opponents once he played some games.

As a result, his form fell off a cliff, and he didn’t have the mental resilience to keep thriving anymore.

That’s a major worry United don’t have with Mbeumo, because he’s been terrorising defences in the league for multiple years.

For him, this run of form is not a purple patch where he’s caught the opposition off guard. It’s the continuation of domination he already excelled at.

The only doubt was whether he could do it at a high profile, and as Carrick said, he has aced that challenge as well.
