A powerful counterattack weapon! Manchester United signs Mbeumo for €75 million; 8 goals and 1 assist this season, scoring against the Big Six teams.

In the latest Premier League round, Manchester United defeated league leaders Arsenal 3-2 away, securing back-to-back league wins after a 2-0 home victory over Manchester City in the previous round. With 6 points gained from the last two matches, United have climbed to 4th place in the Premier League, entering the Champions League spots. Securing a Champions League spot for next season is one of Manchester United’s league objectives this season.

Last summer, Manchester United invested €75 million to sign the “hive king” Mbeumo from Brentford, thereby finding a potent counterattack weapon. Bruno Fernandes excels in quick transitions rather than breaking down defenses, and paired with a counterattack specialist like Mbeumo, United’s performance in high-level clashes has significantly improved.

Mbeumo, 26 years old and 1.71 meters tall, primarily plays as a right winger but can also operate as a forward. Valued at €75 million on Transfermarkt, he is Manchester United’s most expensive player with a contract running until 2030. Although he missed several games due to the Africa Cup of Nations, he has contributed 8 goals and 1 assist in 18 Premier League appearances. His performances in top-tier matches have been particularly impressive, as Mbeumo’s United career has already scored againstLiverpool, Manchester City, Arsenal, and Tottenham Hotspurwith only Chelsea among the Premier League Big Six yet to be breached by him. Another statistic highlights Mbeumo’s importance to United: during the 5 Premier League matches he missed due to the Africa Cup, the team managed only one win. Initially signed for €55 million, his value has now risen to €75 million, making this transfer a very worthwhile investment for Manchester United.
