A number of statistics have emerged that underline how quickly Bryan Mbeumo has made himself indispensable to Manchester United.
Mbeumo dazzling
Mbeumo has not missed a beat since joining United from Brentford during the summer transfer window.
United brought him in as part of their attacking department overhaul, initially paying £65 million to bring him in ahead of other interested parties. He has been incredible for the club. Mbeumo is currently United’s leading goalscorer with five Premier League goals and six in all competitions. He also provided one assist.
The Cameroonian has turned United’s right channel into a dangerous attack route. Above all, he has created a deadly partnership with Amad. Even more astonishing is that Mbeumo appears to be having an equally big impact on the left.
Ruben Amorim used him on this side of the pitch during the 2-2 draw against Tottenham Hotspur and he was fantastic, even finding the back of the net to break the deadlock.
Mbeumo’s performances in October earned him a hat-trick of individual awards. He fended off stiff competition to win United’s Player of the Month award, the Premier League equivalent, and the PFA Fans’ Player of the Month award.
Ahead of Monday’s match against Everton at Old Trafford, United pointed out a number of key Premier League statistics in which Mbeumo is currently leading.
Excellent Mbeumo songs
In addition to being United’s top scorer, Mbeumo has also played the most games this season, alongside Bruno Fernandes, Benjamin Sesko and Matthijs de Ligt.
Statisticians needed [via United] reveal that Mbeumo’s off-ball running is the highest in the Premier League so far. He boasts an astonishing 169 runs behind the defence. No other player has made more. Ollie Watkins (146), Viktor Gyokeres (120) and Mohamed Salah (114) follow Mbeumo.
The 26-year-old United forward made 105 off-ball runs to finish in attacking third in the Premier League. He is joined by Florian Wirtz (Liverpool) and Gyokeres, who have also registered the same number.
When it comes to expected assists (xA), Bryan Mbeumo also tops the Premier League leaderboard. He has logged 2.54, which puts him ahead of Jack Grealish (2.48) and Kieran Dewsbury-Hall (2.45).
After all, only Manchester City striker Erling Haaland (14) has scored more open-play goals than Mbeumo’s five.
Mbeumo and United’s meeting with Everton starts at 8pm.
