However, after emerging as one of Amorim's most threatening assets, the ex-United forward has acknowledged his initial assessment was mistaken."For me he [Mbuemo] has been Manchester United's stand-out players this season and he hasn't got his rewards for his hard work and the sacrifices he's made for the team," he said on his BBC Podcast. "It was a great goal."I'll be honest I was a bit sceptical when United signed him, I don't know if he had the ability to come and play for Manchester United, but he's proved me wrong.

I think he's been a great addition to the team and is by far United's best player of the season."Rooney also showered praise on United head coach Amorim following his successive Premier League triumphs since taking over from Erik ten Hag last November. "It's such a huge win for the manager," he continued."I've questioned decisions, I've questioned tactics, I've questioned players' desire over this season and last season.
