Manchester United had one standout player in the loss to City, and it bodes well for the future.
Playing for Manchester United is a big mental test for players. We have seen talented footballers sign for the club and retreat into a shell of themselves.
The pressure at United is immense, and that’s why recruitment is about trying to find players with the right mentality to succeed.
Amid a busy recent transfer window, one player in particular already looks like he will be a success, displaying some positive traits.
Bryan Mbeumo stands out in defeat
Manchester United’s 3-0 derby loss to City was the type of game that can make or break players.
It was a chastening experience for the new signings, and one that Bryan Mbeumo passed, by displaying his sheer persistence.
Mbeumo was the one Manchester United player who looked threatening, and he was unlucky not to score a superb volley.
The former Brentford star actually got better and better as the game went on, and became fuelled by a desire to try and cut United’s deficit.
