One Manchester United player was an absolute class act vs City, he has mentality to succeed at Old Trafford

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 defeat in the derby against City was the kind of match that can either elevate or undermine players.

This was a humbling experience for the new recruits, yet Bryan Mbeumo excelled by showcasing his unwavering determination.

Mbeumo stood out as the sole Manchester United player who posed a threat, and he was unfortunate not to convert a remarkable volley into a goal.

The former Brentford player improved progressively throughout the match, driven by a strong desire to reduce United’s deficit.

United attempted a total of 12 shots on goal, with Mbeumo contributing to four of those efforts. He was a dynamic presence who continually challenged the City defense.

Mbeumo has shown promise already

Manchester United have managed to secure only one victory out of their last four Premier League matches, alongside one draw and two defeats. Additionally, they suffered a humiliating exit from the Carabao Cup at the hands of Grimsby Town.

The team requires a significant performance and a favorable outcome next weekend when they host Chelsea, and it is already evident that we can expect a strong contribution from Mbeumo.

The Cameroon international has netted two goals for United thus far, earning the club’s Player of the Month Award in the process.

His display against City showcased that Mbeumo is determined to enhance the team’s position in the league. He is performing like a player who rejected multiple offers from other clubs to join United.

With fellow new recruit Benjamin Sesko finding it difficult to make an impression, and Matheus Cunha sidelined due to injury, Mbeumo stands out as a crucial guiding light for the team.
