Man UtdWon'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.
Scores opener Saturday
Mbeumo scored one goal to go with two shots (one on goal) and two crosses (zero accurate) in Saturday's 2-2 draw against Tottenham Hotspur.
Analysis: Mbeumo scored his fifth goal of the season Saturday, a header in the 32nd minute assisted by Amad Diallo. He did not do much else besides that goal, only adding one off-target shot and two inaccurate crosses through the rest of the match. He played the full 90 minutes for the fourth consecutive match.
Scores brace in victory
Mbeumo scored two goals to go with three shots (three on goal), two crosses (one accurate) and two chances created in Saturday's 4-2 win against Brighton.
Analysis: Mbeumo was United's standout performer, scoring a brace including the decisive goal that sealed the 4-2 victory. His first goal came from a fine run and finish in the 61st minute, and he kept United's momentum when Brighton threatened. Mbeumo has now scored three goals and delivered one assist in his last three Premier League appearances, finally finding his rhythm with his new team and performing at the level he showed during his Brentford years.
Scored opener in Anfield win
Mbeumo scored one goal to go with three shots (two on goal), three crosses (one accurate) and one corner in Sunday's 2-1 victory versus Liverpool.
Analysis: Mbeumo scored his second goal of the season and picked up an assist in the previous game against Sunderland. His goal came within the opening minute of the game. He was assisted by Amad Diallo. During the game, he put two shots on target from three attempts and also created a chance.
Assists opener in 2-0 win
Mbeumo assisted once to go with two shots (one on goal), three crosses (three accurate) and one corner in Saturday's 2-0 victory versus Sunderland.
Analysis: Mbeumo collected his first assist of the season from his only chance created, Manchester United's 2-0 win over Sunderland. He has started each of United's games this season, and this is the fifth in which he has created a chance. He also took two shots, which he has also done in five of the Premier League matches this season.
Three shots and six crosses in win
Mbeumo had three shots (one on goal), six crosses (one accurate) and two corners in Saturday's 2-1 victory over Chelsea.
Analysis: Mbeumo has continued his run of attacking threat for Manchester United, but has only scored one goal in the five games played so far this season. He has taken three or more shots in four of the five games this season and attempted at least four crosses in each game. He is also Manchester United's second highest set piece taker this year.
Four shots, no goal
Mbeumo registered four shots (one on goal), five crosses (one accurate) and one corner in Sunday's 3-0 loss versus Manchester City.
Analysis: Mbuemo struggled to get much going against City after a rough outing from United in the derby, with the attacker firing off four shots but not finding the back of the net. He now has 12 shots in four games this season, with one goal to show for it.
Gets first goal of season
Mbeumo scored one goal and registered five accurate crosses on Saturday against Burnley.
Analysis: Mbeumo was a key factor in Manchester United obtaining their first victory of the EPL season over Burnley. In 90 minutes played, the right winger scored one goal from three shots (two on target, one off), created five chances, and generated 0.66 expected assists. The goal was Mbeumo's first as a United player, and his second in all competitions this season. He will hope to build on this momentum against Manchester City after the international break.
