Manchester United broke their losing streak against Liverpool at Anfield (2-1), and one player stood out in particular: Bryan Mbeumo.

Signed this summer for £71 million from Brentford, the 26-year-old Cameroonian was under immediate pressure to justify his transfer fee. Mission accomplished. Even Wayne Rooney, who was initially skeptical about Mbeumo’s ability to make his mark at Old Trafford, didn’t hesitate to change his mind:

I had my doubts at first, but he’s proved me completely wrong. He’s already United’s best player this season.

Mbeumo, who netted his second Premier League goal, was relentless on the pitch, constantly pressing, making runs, and showcasing his technical skills. According to Rooney, his attitude and determination are exactly what is expected from a Manchester United player.
