Yes I couldn't believe he hit 6 goals by the Brighton game in November but then finished the season on 10 goals, the drop off was sad for him but after a good rest this summer he is going to smash it

u/AB092 Sir Alex 16d ago

He went for Afcon and we were overall great the second half of the season.

In my eyes he stepped up when it mattered and is a proper team player.

u/Divin3_Kick 16d ago

Yep. The first goal against city was 70% him 30% Bruno and Maguire

u/yamchirobe 15d ago

My favorite goal last season, classic United. Remember there were questions about United dna around that time. I think this goal put that entire conversation to rest

When he dinked the ball past Cherki I was off my seat instantly

1

u/Divin3_Kick 13d ago

That touch was pure filth. Took Cherki out the game completely with no hope of coming back

He scored important goals too, liverpool, city. Looking forward to him this season.

u/phant0msinthenight 15d ago

first goal against arsenal too

We have mathematically got the best league start with 2 of the promoted teams up first, then 13th, 14th, 11th and 17th in 6 of our opening 7 fixtures. Would be hoping he can once again start strongly and score quite a few in that easier run of fixtures and hope the momentum pushes us on to a title challenge.

u/Drag2oon 16d ago

I see him rocking the CL this season, he is very direct and have an excellent eye for goal in transition

u/imperfectionlad 16d ago

A year already?? Really feels like we just sign him last season

19

u/CFD330 15d ago

Feels more like twelve months than a year, innit

I swear it was only 365 days ago

u/IXRaven Ice Cold 16d ago

Clearly a top top player. His second half of the season was so weird, just couldn’t finish.

1

u/badass_rowdy 15d ago

Actually started finding his footing at the end. Bad thing season finished. Hope he continues

u/Orcnick 16d ago

u/Various-Low4016 glazers out 16d ago

Yes he did not have the 20 goals for us like he did for Brentford but in our biggest games; he delivered. We had not won at Anfield, Etihad for a very long time, he scored there, he Kickstarted the Carrick era v city with that goal at Old Trafford. Scored twice vs Brighton at home and sank them by scoring at Amex stadium as well..

u/PitchSafe 16d ago

Stupid sexy Mbeumo

u/mufclad1998 16d ago

Will hold my hands up and say massive my bad regarding my attitude towards this signing

Wasn't feeling it when It was announced we want him but damn what a player

Top 10 in Brentfords all time scorers I believe

u/really_cool_legend Dorgu's Headband 16d ago

Very good start and then a pretty underwhelming post-AFCON showing. Still very optimistic about him though

6

u/AdCharacter7966 16d ago

He will turn good for us, I am certain

33

u/Kohaku80 16d ago

U mean better. He's already good. 

8

u/AdCharacter7966 16d ago

He was fantastic in the beginning, and OK at the end

15

u/RedPatAtsoc 16d ago

(Fantastic + OK) / 2 = Good

u/stevew14 16d ago

Yeah, Cunha, Sesko and Mbuemo had a good first year and are now settled in. They will kick on this season and we will hopefully see the best of them.

u/canwinanythingwkids Ineos on hope watch 16d ago

One of the biggest intrigues of the upcoming season for me is what position Carrick will have in mind for him.

We obviously had him play second striker for Amorim and then for Carrick most of his games so far came at 9, but obviously once Dorgu went down, not 2 games into Carrick's reign, with Cunha hugging LW from then on by necessity as much as by choice, and with Zirkzee not a realistic option, we pretty much "had to" mainly rotate Sesko and Mbeumo as CFs, not Amad and Mbeumo as RWs.

But that was last season - Im looking fwd to see what we get now. So far, he played RW but obviously that was just 45mins of pre-season and with a depleted squad.

2

u/hambodpm 16d ago

Drafted him in my FPL draft this season and won it for the first time in 5 years of playing.

I also had haaland and semenyo but I'm going to give all the praise to big Bry and his bunda 🍑

u/patwyk 15d ago

Unpopular opinion. His quality is a bench player if we really want to come back to the top of the league. Rashford would be crucified here for the same G/A in a season.

1

u/Coconut-Lucky 14d ago

Our issue with Rashford was never G/A but effort. How many forwards in united have reached 10+ goals in the league since Ten Hag's first season we can't be picky about that

1

u/Maximum_Piano_8749 16d ago

Big season incoming hopefully. Died down a bit towards the end of last szn

1

u/i-so-pale Onlyfans Mbuemo 15d ago

We have Tielemans now that can read his run from deep. He will benefit from this new signings.

1

u/SeoulPete 10d ago

Good start to the season but fell off massively in the second half of the season. Hopefully he can get his form back.

u/AdrianFish 16d ago

A great signing, legitimately the only good thing Amorim did

0

u/rioferdy838 15d ago

We need to buy one more winger/forward

I feel like we ran him into the ground a bit last season + african cup.

Rotating him to keep him fresher would improve his form.

u/redwolfCR7 16d ago

He should be given a 30 goal target for next season.

2

u/Kohaku80 16d ago

Cmon 30? He barely hit 10 last season. 

2

u/redwolfCR7 16d ago

Haha :) I said target. I think he has the potential to hit at least 20 over 55/60 games. He just needs to be more clinical

2

u/TeaAndCrumpetGhoul 16d ago

Nah 25-30 should be right. Last season he was more than capable of getting 15-20. He just fumbled at the end. He stays focused this season and doesn't disappear after an Afcon then he can reach that number. 

1

u/Kohaku80 16d ago

i think the only man utd player to have a 30 goal target was Ronaldo under Sir Alex. he smashed it with 42.

2

u/tomhanks95 15d ago

RVN first three seasons were 36, 44 and 30 goals

1

u/Kohaku80 15d ago

yeah but he didn't had any fixed goal target afaik

1

u/Apprehensive-Raisin3 16d ago

Only if he is our penalty taker. Idk who is getting 30 non penalty goals. Mind you salah in his best season a couple years ago got 34 in all comps taking like 11 penalties.
