A positive glow surrounds Manchester United at the moment, but manager Ruben Amorim faces a headache in December when the Africa Cup of Nations is played.
For the first time in a long time things are looking up for the Red Devils thanks to three Premier League wins on the spin.
An entertaining 4-2 victory over Brighton on Saturday came after a famous win at Liverpool and a fairly routine home success against Sunderland.
Now sitting sixth in the Premier League table, Ruben Amorim’s side is still a long way from where he wants it to be, but it appears to be heading in the right direction.
Bryan Mbeumo scored twice against the Seagulls at the weekend and has been a big part of the recent improvement.
Amad Diallo has also impressed under Amorim, taking to his right wing-back slot and seemingly forming a bond with Mbeumo.
In a blow for Manchester United, both will be heading off to play in AFCON in December and will be unavailable for selection for a period of time.
Mbeumo’s Cameroon and Amad’s Ivory Coast are in the same Group F of the Africa Cup of Nations, so the Manchester United stars will likely be playing against each other when their countries meet in Marrakesh.
