Alan Shearer wowed by ‘composed’ Man United whiz who’s showing exactly why INEOS pushed to sign him

Alan Shearer has included Bryan Mbeumo in his Premier League Team of the Week for the last round of fixtures.

Rightfully so, too, as the forward is quickly becoming Ruben Amorim’s new talisman with his sensational showings.

Manchester United’s No.19 added to his tally for the season with a brace against Brighton and Hove Albion on Saturday, six days on from his scintillating opener to get the Reds off the mark against Liverpool at Anfield.

Mbeumo recorded United’s third and fourth goals at Old Trafford over the weekend, with his latter allowing the M16 faithful to breathe a collective sigh of relief after Brighton had tried to force their way back into the game and make it 3-2 in injury time.

Thankfully for Amorim, the Cameroonian got himself in the right place at the right time to find the back of the net in 90+7 minutes, securing all three points and a third straight win for United.

Even aside from his contributions, Mbeumo made himself a real handful for the Seagulls.

He completed four successful take-ons and made four final-third passes, whilst also recording four touches in the opposition’s box, creating two big chances and winning two fouls (StatmanDave).

When naming the 26-year-old in his TOTW, Shearer said (via the Premier League website): “This is why Man Utd were so keen to sign him.

“He was a constant threat against Brighton and produced two composed finishes.”

Indeed, United spent around two months negotiating with Brentford to try and facilitate Mbeumo’s arrival, having two bids rejected before they succeeded with their third proposal.

INEOS eventually pledged to shell out £65 million for the attacker, after which he put pen to paper on a five-year deal.
