Premier League Announces Bryan Mbeumo News on Friday

Against rivals Liverpool on Oct. 19, he scored an immediate goal within the first 62 seconds of play. Manchester United prevailed 2-1, and the Red Devils won at Anfield for the first time since Jan. 2016.

Matty Cash ( Aston Villa ), Bruno Guimaraes ( Newcastle United ), Erling Haaland ( Manchester City), Eli Junior Kroupi (Bournemouth ), Nordi Mukiele (Sunderland), Igor Thiago (Brentford) and Jurrien Timber ( Arsenal) were also in contention for the award.

Mbeumo joins former Liverpool defender Joel Matip as the second Cameroonian to receive the honor. Matip previously scooped the award in Feb. 2022.

Amorim Wins Manager of the Month

Manchester United also received the news that head coach Ruben Amorim has won the Barclays Manager of the Month award.

"I'm really happy," he told. "Not just for my staff, but also for my players. I think they deserve full credit for this award because, in the end, the manager that wins this kind of award is not the best team, but the team that performs maybe better during this month. So, I just expect to win the next one because it is a sign we won football matches."

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta, Aston Villa head coach Unai Emery and Bournemouth boss Andoni Iraola were among the nominees who fell short.

The Red Devils enter the weekend eighth in the Premier League table but even on points (17) with sixth-placed Tottenham.

Saturday's away visit to Tottenham Hotspur Stadium could allow United to leapfrog Spurs in the table. The match kicks off at 7:30 a.m. Eastern time and will be broadcast on Peacock.
