Wayne Rooney has praised Man Utd’s Bryan Mbeumo

Manchester United legend Wayne Rooney has praised Red Devils star Bryan Mbeumo after his impressive performance against Liverpool on Sunday.

After struggling with goalscoring problems last season, Man Utd decided to revamp their front line by signing Matheus Cunha, Mbeumo and Benjamin Sesko this summer after letting Marcus Rashford, Antony, Jadon Sancho, Rasmus Hojlund and Alejandro Garnacho leave.

United have looked like a better team so far this season but have struggled to convert their chances. However, Mbeumo took his chance against Liverpool early in the match and Ruben Amorim’s side eventually managed to win 2-1 thanks to Harry Maguire’s late winner. This is the Red Devils’ first win at Anfield in almost a decade.

Mbeumo, meanwhile, has made a good start for United after joining from Brentford, where he has scored three goals and registered a single assist so far this season.

However, Rooney has now changed his mind and said Mbeumo has proven to be a great signing. Furthermore, he stated that scoring against Liverpool has made the 26-year-old a legendary player for United and that he has been Man Utd’s best player of the season so far.

Mbeumo, valued at around £61 million by Transfer markethas everything in his arsenal to become a world-class player and should become a fan favorite very soon.

Expert praises Mbeumo

Rooney said:

“I’ll be honest, I was a bit skeptical when Manchester United signed him. I didn’t know if he had the ability to play for United. But he’s proven me wrong. I think he’s been a great asset to the team and by far United’s best player of the season. Whatever he does now in a United shirt, it doesn’t really matter, does it? Because he scored against Liverpool!”

United had their toughest matches at the start of this season and therefore had a difficult start. However, after beating Liverpool, they are now just two points behind Arne Slot’s side, who sit fourth in the league.

Man Utd found it difficult to win two Premier League games in a row under Amorim, but they have now succeeded. However, all this positivity will disappear if they fail to beat Brighton next weekend, who have won six of their last seven games against Man Utd.
