Finds net against Leeds
Mbeumo scored one goal to go with three shots (two on goal) in Sunday's 1-1 draw against Leeds United.
Analysis: Mbeumo opened the scoring with a left-footed finish from the center of the box following a cross from Youri Tielemans, converting one of his three attempts while operating as Manchester United's central striker. The Cameroon international continues to provide a consistent goalscoring threat when deployed at the point of the attack, using his movement and finishing ability to create opportunities inside the penalty area. He has now scored four goals on 24 shots while creating 11 chances across seven Premier League appearances this season.
Two shots Tuesday
Mbeumo had two shots (one on goal) and one cross (zero accurate) in Tuesday's 2-0 loss versus Atletico Madrid.
Analysis: Mbeumo took a pair of shots during Tuesday's loss, as well as sending in a cross. The attacker tried to get involved in the attack but was largely played out of the match by Atleti's excellent defensive shape. That's not to say he couldn't have done better, as Mbeumo often found himself isolated away from the rest of the squad.
Scores in draw vs. Spurs
Mbeumo scored one goal to go with two shots (two on goal), one cross (zero accurate) and one chance created in Saturday's 1-1 draw versus Tottenham Hotspur.
Analysis: Mbeumo broke the deadlock for the Red Devils in the second half following a set-up from Matheus Cunha. The Cameroon international has been one of the brightest spots for an inconsistent Manchester United squad this season, tallying three goals in his first six EPL appearances.
Productive in Sunday's draw
Mbeumo registered five shots (one on goal), six crosses (two accurate) and five corners in Sunday's 1-1 draw versus Fulham.
Analysis: Mbeumo had a productive outing Sunday despite not bagging a goal. He tied season highs in shots (five) and chances created (three) and also recorded six crosses on the attack. He has two goals through five Premier League appearances this season but his attacking stats suggest more goal contributions are in his future.
Three shots, fails to score
Mbeumo recorded three shots (one on goal), three crosses (two accurate) and two corners in Sunday's 1-0 defeat against Manchester City.
Analysis: Mbeumo earned three chances at the net Sunday and would put one on target, although it was not enough to beat Gianluigi Donnarumma. This ends his goal contribution streak, as the attacker had three straight games in all competitions with a goal contribution and two straight league games with a goal. He remains one of the club's more viable options, only behind Bruno Fernandes for goals at the club early in the campaign.
Adds assist
Mbeumo assisted once to go with one shot (one on goal), three crosses (two accurate) and three corners in Thursday's 4-0 victory over Sabah FK.
Analysis: Mbeumo took three corners during Thursday's win and also tallied an assist. This was a one-sided match right from the opening kick off and Mbeumo did well to make his mark on it, even if he was unable to score himself. He had a nice role on set-pieces and was generally dangerous with the chances he created.
Scores 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.
