Bryan Mbeumo keen to keep upping his level as Manchester United chase success

Momentum feels steady yet charged around Manchester United again. The rhythm of Ruben Amorim’s side shows a new sense of conviction. That belief had faded in past seasons. Every attack looks sharper, and every move has intent. Bryan Mbeumo stands at the centre of it. His arrival changed how United attacks, and the crowd at Old Trafford now demands intensity, not hesitation. Saturday’s clash with Brighton fully carried that energy.

Manchester United beat Brighton 4-2 at Old Trafford on 25 October 2025 and claimed their third straight league win. They did not cruise through the match, as the contest swung between control and chaos. Matheus Cunha scored his first goal for the club and calmed early nerves.

Casemiro’s deflected strike doubled the lead before half-time. When Mbeumo struck the third, United looked in command. However, Brighton refused to give up. Danny Welbeck, once a United forward, curled in a clever free-kick. Charalampos Kostoulas then headed home in stoppage time and made it 3-2.

As a result, anxiety spread across the stands. However, Mbeumo answered back with his second goal and sealed a hard-fought 4-2 victory. After the match, the 26-year-old spoke calmly about his form. The former Brentford man said he aimed high without setting limits. That confidence matches the belief growing inside Amorim’s dressing room. Wayne Rooney even called Mbeumo Manchester United’s best player this season, and few can now argue with that.

“I always try to aim big in everything that I do. I try not to set limits on myself and on what I can reach. I am just going to work on that as much as possible.”

A new rhythm under Amorim and Mbeumo’s influence

Mbeumo joined in the summer and reshaped United’s attack. His off-ball runs continue to confuse defenders and open gaps for Cunha and Benjamin Sesko. He presses constantly and turns loose touches from opponents into counterattacks. When the Cameroon international starts wide, he cuts inside with his left foot and remains a constant goal threat.

Amorim also trusts him to shift roles when needed, showing his adaptability. Mbeumo’s focus and ambition continue to lift standards in training and push the team to work harder. He is also helping Manchester United land Carlos Baleba, showing how far his influence now reaches.

If he maintains this form, Mbeumo will definitely finish the season as United’s most decisive attacker. He is the main outlet for goals, assists, and endless drive for United. Mbeumo’s movement, attitude, and calmness shape a team that once drifted but now chases trophies again with intent. If he scores 20 goals this season and repeats his Brentford form from last season, Manchester United will definitely be in a better place by the end of the season.
