MU fans pointed out a problem related to striker Bryan Mbeumo in the 0-1 defeat of the home team against Arsenal in the opening round of the Premier League.
MU received the only goal after the corner kick of Declan Rice, when goalkeeper Altay Bayindir handled badly and let Riccardo Calafiori score the decision.
However, the debut of the two rookie Bryan Mbeumo and Matheus Cuha still brings many positive signals: both play enthusiastically and energetic. Coach Ruben Amorim even asserted that his team “could win any match in the Premier League” if they continued to show this spirit.
However, from the perspective of the fans, a problem has been revealed in Mbeumo. The Cameroon striker, the author of the last 20 goals last season, was arranged on the right in the attack 3, often cut in with his left leg.
In the right Wing-back position, Diogo Dalot kicked the main before giving way to Amad Diallo in the 55th minute. Amad was one of the rare bright spots of MU last season and was rated as a dangerous spearhead under Amorim. The fact that he did not start from the beginning made many people surprised.
However, when Amad came on, the MU fans began to understand the reason. In fact, Amad and Mbeumo stepped on each other, both of their left legs, often bustling in the middle from the right wing and occupying the same space.
Reaction from fans on social networks:
- One commented: “Mbeumo and Amad cannot play together, please !!!”
- Others said: “I always said … Amad on the yard we all hit the border. I chose Dalot RWB more than Amad.”
- Another commented: “Amad and Mbeumo always want to stand in the same place.”
- A fan analyzed: “Now everyone understands why Amorim chose Dalot from the beginning. Dalot overlooked, creating a space for Mbeumo to cut inside. And Amad was bundled in, making Mbeumo not have space to handle.”
- The last concluded: “We are more balanced when there is Dalot in RWB. Amad plays well when he comes in, but both he and Mbeumo want to cut in and finish, no one will accept the ball with his right foot to cross.”
MU will have the opportunity to correct Sunday until the guest before Fulham at Craven Cottage, with the goal of winning the first season.
