Mbeumo has not scored in eight games
Manchester United forward Bryan Mbeumo is facing intense scrutiny after failing to find the net in eight consecutive matches, a sharp decline following his £71 million summer move. Despite remaining the club's top scorer with nine Premier League goals, the Cameroonian international has not recorded a goal or an assist since early February. Analysts point to tactical changes under manager Michael Carrick as a potential cause for his slump, leading to calls for him to be benched ahead of the upcoming match against his former club, Brentford. As teammate Benjamin Šeško closes in on his goal tally, Mbeumo faces mounting pressure to rediscover his early-season form and avoid being labeled a transfer disappointment.
Manchester United forward Bryan Mbeumo has come under heavy criticism due to his declining performance in recent matches. The footballer, transferred at the start of the season for 71 million pounds, played excellently in the first months. However, the Cameroonian forward has now failed to find the opponents' net for eight matches in a row. He last scored on 7 February in the match against Tottenham. Goal.com reports this.
This season, Mbeumo remains the team's top scorer in the Premier League with 9 goals, but his overall contribution has significantly decreased. The forward, who has not registered a goal or assist for two months, is preparing to take the field against his former club Brentford on Monday. Fans and experts are demanding head coach Michael Carrick to drop him from the starting lineup.
The player's form may have been negatively affected by Ruben Amorim's resignation and his participation in the Africa Cup of Nations. Under Amorim, he shone as an attacking midfielder, while in Carrick's system, he is performing the role of a central forward. Currently, another new team member, Benjamin Sesko, has caught up with Mbeumo in terms of goals. If the Cameroonian footballer cannot find his form by the end of the season, there is a risk that he will follow the path of Rasmus Hojlund, who failed last year.
