Bryan Mbeumo names Man United change that has sparked stunning turnaround

Manchester United forward Bryan Mbeumo has revealed a key change that is inspiring his side’s remarkable upturn, following the 4-2 win against Brighton and Hove Albion.

Mbeumo bagged a sensational brace against Brighton as United clinched a third consecutive Premier League victory on Saturday.

Matheus Cunha gave United the lead in the 24th minute, producing a brilliant finish. The strike marked Cunha’s first one for United since joining in the summer.

Less than 10 minutes later, Casemiro doubled United’s advantage. The veteran midfielder’s effort struck a Brighton player to roll into the back of the net. Mbeumo’s left-footed shot at the hour mark made it 3-0 for United.

Brighton threatened a late comeback through goals from Danny Welbeck and Charalampos Kostoulas , but Mbeumo struck again in the 97th minute to seal the win and lift United into fourth place in the Premier League .

Mbeumo has taken his tally for United to five goals and one assist in 10 appearances across all competitions.

After the final whistle, Mbeumo spoke to Sky Sports and credited United’s resurgence to the “effort and togetherness” of the squad.

Mbeumo told Sky Sports [as quoted by Daily Star ], “I enjoy it a lot here.”

“It hasn’t been easy at the start, it’s a new environment, new expectation, but with my link-up with my team, everything is going the right way.”

“We all put a lot of work in training, that’s the most important thing.”

The Cameroonian continued, “What we do out there we try to repeat on the pitch. We are going to try to understand each other even better.”

Asked what has changed at United. Mbeumo answered, “The work we put in, the effort, the togetherness is the key. We try to stick to the plan and try to play as best as possible.”

“I like the challenges, I came here to a big club and I want to fight for the best places.”

United are back in action next Saturday when they face Nottingham Forest at the City Ground.
