Man UtdScores brilliant opener
Mbeumo scored one goal to go with two shots (one on goal), one cross (zero accurate) and one chance created in Sunday's 2-2 draw versus Everton.
Analysis: Mbeumo opened the scoring with an excellent individual effort, collecting the ball on the right, driving inside and curling his finish beyond Jordan Pickford into the corner. The goal was his first of the Premier League season after attempting 11 shots across his opening three appearances, finally turning his consistent shooting volume into end product. His ability to attack from the right before moving into central shooting positions should continue to make him one of United's more regular goal threats.
Scores in 5-2 win
Mbeumo scored one goal to go with five shots (one on goal), five crosses (two accurate) and one corner in Sunday's 5-2 victory versus Ipswich Town. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 93rd minute.
Analysis: Mbeumo scored Manchester United's final goal as they won 5-2 against Ipswich. He was also crucial in the build-up to the fourth United goal, which sealed a hat-trick for Bruno Fernandes. This goal was his first of the season, and he will look to beat his tally of 11 goals from last season. In this game, he took five shots to bring him to nine for the season after two games.6
Leader in shots, crosses
Mbeumo took four shots (two on goal), crossed 10 times (two accurate) and created a chance during Saturday's 2-0 loss to Hull City.
Analysis: Mbeumo was held off the scoresheet but led United in both shots and crosses during the match. Mbeumo's double digit cross total was partly a result of taking four of the available six corner kick opportunities in the match.
Scores to end season
Mbeumo scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal), one cross (zero accurate) and one chance created in Sunday's 3-0 win against Brighton.
Analysis: Mbeumo's first season in Manchester was fine, but nothing more than fine. He scored 11 times and added three assists, but didn't come anywhere near the heights he reached with Brentford. It was still an excellent season for the team as a whole, and Mbeumo finished with two goals in the final two matches of the campaign, ending on a high note.
Nets controversial goal
Mbeumo scored one goal to go with six shots (one on goal), two crosses (zero accurate) and two corners in Sunday's 3-2 win versus Nottingham Forest.
Analysis: Mbuemo scored the final goal of the match for United Sunday, but in a controversial way, as he would handle the ball before scoring, later noted by the FA that it should've been disallowed. This does end a drought for the attacker, as his last goal came Feb 7, coming 12 games ago. He is up to double-digit goals this season, now with 13 goal contributions.
Big volume with no contributions
Mbeumo had four shots (zero on goal), six crosses (three accurate) and two corners in Sunday's 3-2 victory over Liverpool.
Analysis: Mbeumo's poor form in front of net continued Sunday, though he's truly doing everything he can. He added four shots and six crosses, and while those were largely wayward, it's still significant volume. The forward will hope to continue this volume and turn it into consistent goal contributions to close the campaign.
On cold streak
Mbeumo was injured and subbed out in the 87th minute of Saturday's 1-0 victory over Chelsea. He had one cross (zero accurate) and one corner before exiting the match.
Analysis: Mbeumo started on the right wing in Saturday's 1-0 win over Chelsea at Stamford Bridge, playing 87 minutes before being replaced by Joshua Zirkzee but struggling to make any meaningful attacking contribution as his side defended deep for large spells and relied on a single Matheus Cunha strike for the victory. The Cameroonian winger did not register a shot or a chance created and delivered just one cross during the match. Mbeumo has now gone eight Premier League games without a goal, a significant drop in form for a player who scored nine times and recorded three assists across 28 appearances this season.
Won't join Cameroon
Mbeumo will remain in Manchester during the international break and won't join Cameroon for international duty as a precaution, according to the club.
Analysis: Mbeumo has been managing some muscle issues lately and has had his workload in training handled carefully. As a precaution, he will not link up with Cameroon over the international break after once again being subbed off before the end of Friday's match against the Cherries. That said, the forward is still expected to be fully fit for the April. 13 clash against Leeds United, according to reports, and the break should help him get all the way back up to speed.
Trains ahead of Palace match
Mbuemo was back in training ahead of Sunday's match against Crystal Palace.
Analysis: Mbuemo is looking to be an option again after limping off the field Monday, with the attacker already back in training Friday. This should leave him as an option after the slight scare, a good result for the club. He has started in their past six games, with Benjamin Sesko as a possible replacement if not fit enough to start.
Assists, limps off Monday
Mbeumo delivered an assist before leaving with an apparent physical issue during Monday's meeting with Everton.
Analysis: Mbeumo didn't have a perfect outing as he missed some clear chances, but he delivered the pass that led to Benjamin Sesko's opener in the 71st minute of this game. After that, the Cameroonian picked up a blow and was unable to stay on the field in the 78th minute. Given that he was deployed as a central striker, the natural options to take his place if the issue is serious could be Sesko and Joshua Zirkzee.
Assists in draw
Mbeumo assisted once to go with two shots (zero on goal), four crosses (two accurate) and two corners in Tuesday's 1-1 draw against West Ham United.
Analysis: Mbeumo created the winner with a cross converted by Benjamin Sesko, registering his second league assist and first since early October. The winger had two shots and has been in fine scoring form, with three goals in four matches since returning from AFCON, a period in which he has registered nine shots.
Bags opener Saturday
Mbeumo scored one goal to go with three shots (one on goal), six crosses (one accurate) and five corners in Saturday's 2-0 victory versus Tottenham Hotspur.
Analysis: Mbeumo opened the scoring Saturday with a goal in the 38th minute assisted by Robbie Mainoo, just nine minutes after Cristian Romero was sent off with a straight red card. It marked Mbeumo's ninth goal of the campaign, three of which have come in the last four matches since his return from AFCON. He'll look to keep rolling Tuesday at West Ham.
Scores team's first goal
Mbeumo scored one goal to go with two shots (one on goal) and two chances created in Sunday's 3-2 victory versus Arsenal.
Analysis: Mbeumo was in the right place at the right time, taking advantage of a poor pass in Arsenal's back line to get a relatively easy scoring opportunity. The forward has a favorable matchup on Sunday when Man United faces Fulham, a team which has allowed 32 goals so far this season.
Goal in return
Mbeumo scored one goal to go with three shots (two on goal) and one cross (zero accurate) in Saturday's 2-0 win over Manchester City.
Analysis: Mbeumo just returned from AFCON but is already seeing the start, not only starting but scoring the opening goal of Saturday's win. This marks the forward's seventh goal of the season, with his last coming just a game ago. He is up to eight goal contributions, nearing double digits just over the halfway point.
Return to training
Mbuemo (international duty) has returned to Manchester and was active in training, leaving him as an option moving forward.
Analysis: Mbuemo is back in Manchester as expected this week after Cameroon exited AFCON in the quarterfinals, with the attacker back in training already. This will clear the way for play in the coming days, likely to be an option Saturday in their Derby. He has yet to miss a start this season when fit, likely to immediately return to a starting spot.
Travelling back to Manchester
Mbeumo is heading back to Manchester after completing his international duty with Cameroon at the AFCON and should be back available for the derby against Manchester City next Saturday.
Analysis: Mbeumo ended his international duty at the AFCON after that Cameroon got eliminated from the competition by Morocco on Friday. The forward has one week to be back available for the derby against Manchester City, making him in a good position to be back for that game. Mbeumo is an undisputed starter for the red devils this season and will claim back his role once back.
Headed to AFCON
Mbeumo was called up by Cameroon for AFCON, and will miss the coming weeks.
Analysis: Mbeumo has been a constant in the starting XI and is now set to miss multiple weeks while away with Cameroon. The forward hasd scored once in the last four matches but has been a consistent goalscoring threat throughout the season. Mbeumo will be back in early-to-mid January depending on how deep of a run Cameroon make.
Scores in 4-1 away win
Mbeumo scored one goal to go with four shots (four on goal), one cross (zero accurate) and three chances created in Monday's 4-1 win versus Wolverhampton. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 38th minute.
Analysis: Mbeumo scored his sixth goal of the season as he helped Manchester United regain the lead against Wolves. He had previously gone three games without scoring, having scored four goals in the four games beforehand. He put all four of his shots on target. He had only attempted more shots in one other game, and this was the most shots on target that he has had this year.
Solid day attacking
Mbeumo generated three shots (two on goal), three crosses (zero accurate) and one corner in Sunday's 2-1 victory against Crystal Palace. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 17th minute.
Analysis: Mbeumo was all around the attack for a decent match Sunday, recording three shots and three crosses but not earning a goal contribution. This is two games straight for the attacker without a goal contribution, remaining at six this campaign.
Seven crosses in loss
Mbeumo generated three shots (one on goal), seven crosses (two accurate) and two corners in Monday's 1-0 loss versus Everton. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 47th minute.
Analysis: Mbeumo was heavily involved without providing a goal or assist as Manchester United. He had scored four goals in four games before this and provided his only assist of the season in the game before this. This was only the second time this season that he has attempted seven or more crosses this season.
