Fans left in disbelief after witnessing what ‘fantastic’ Man Utd star did to Adama Traore | OneFootball

A circulating video on social media shows Manchester United star Bryan Mbeumo taking on West Ham United winger Adama Traore in an astonishing sprint test.

The two players crossed paths at the London Stadium as their respective clubs met in a midweek Premier League contest.

The Red Devils were riding high on confidence, having won their first four matches with Michael Carrick at the helm, but their winning streak came to an abrupt end in the capital.

Tomas Soucek gave the Hammers the lead in the 50th minute with a close-range finish. However, Benjamin Sesko came off the bench to ensure MUFC remained unbeaten with the new manager, salvaging a draw with a 96th-minute equaliser.

Bryan Mbeumo ran faster than Adama Traore

While West Ham and Man Utd shared the spoils, at least we had a clear winner in the foot race between two of the Premier League’s most impressive powerhouses.

A United supporter shared a video on X that focuses on Traore and Mbeumo sprinting from one end to the other.

It all began with a misplaced pass from Luke Shaw that allowed West Ham to launch a blistering counterattack.

As expected, Traore was eager to join the play. After all, the Spanish winger is considered one of the fastest players in Premier League history. During his time at Wolves, he registered a top speed of 36.64 km/h during a contest against Manchester City in December 2021.

However, the video shows Mbeumo beating the bulky winger for pace as he decided to track back to support his teammates at the back.

“Did I really just watch Mbeumo smoke Adama for speed?” commented the fan who posted the video, while others celebrated the Cameroonian’s incredible pace, as well as his great dedication to the cause.

Perhaps the most astonishing fact about the whole episode is that Traore had only entered the pitch in the 90th minute, while Mbeumo had been on the field from the very start, but still managed to outrun his foe.

Admittedly, the former Brentford star didn’t enjoy his best outing, but he still provided Benjamin Sesko with the assist for the equaliser, and, as proven by the video above, never shied away from duty.

Fans and observers have been hailing Mbeumo for his ‘fantastic’ displays this season. While his technical skills are undisputed, it’s his relentless runs and tenacity that made him an instant hit with the fanbase, not to mention with crucial goals.
