Such has been Mbeumo’s performances at the Theatre of Dreams, club legend Wayne Rooney has hailed the ex-Bees star as United’s ‘best player this season’. Manchester United summer signing Bryan Mbeumo (Picture: Getty) ‘I think his biggest attribute is that he gives real quality,’ Hargreaves said of £65m summer signing Mbeumo. ‘He reminds me of Mohamed Salah in and around the box. ‘When he gets the ball, he has a clear picture of exactly what he wants to do.

Matheus Cunha has been less influential for the Red Devils (Picture: Getty) ‘It’s been better, but I still think Manchester United can improve,’ Yorke told Snabbare. ‘Mbuemo has been good. Cunha has shown it in moments but I don’t think he has been as effective as when he played at Wolves. ‘In the summer, Cunha was the signing that excited me.

He hasn’t quite lived up to that just yet. ‘I think there are spells in games where you see a glimpse of the things he has done but he’s not been dominating games like what I saw from him when he was playing for Wolves. ‘If he can show that sort of drive, the skills, the vision and score those sorts of goals in a United shirt then I will say wow, that’s the guy we bought from Wolves. ‘From what I’ve seen of him so far, it’s potentially there. We’ve only seen little spells. ‘Mbeumo on the other hand, I think he’s over-performed on what I thought he would produce in all honesty. ‘I wasn’t quite sure about him coming to United but you’ve got to give people the benefit of the doubt, and I did. ‘I think he’s playing at another level since coming to United, and United have improved based on adding Cunha and Mbeumo to the team.’ Manchester United drew 2-2 with Tottenham and Nottingham Forest in their last two games before the November international break.
