Bryan Mbeumo’s influence in Manchester United’s attack has drawn comparisons with Mohamed Salah after another decisive performance in the Premier League.
The forward was on the scoresheet in United’s 2–0 win over Tottenham last weekend, a result that further underlined his importance to the team.
His display prompted former Manchester United midfielder Owen Hargreaves to liken his impact to that of Liverpool star Salah, citing his consistency and effectiveness in the final third.
Mbeumo has now emerged as United’s leading goalscorer this season, with 10 goals and one assist to his name.
His ability to deliver in key moments has made him a central figure in United’s attacking play, providing both goals and a constant threat to opposition defences.
Hargreaves highlighted not only Mbeumo’s output but also his composure and professionalism on the pitch.
The former England international praised the forward’s maturity, suggesting that his attitude has been a defining factor in his performances for United so far.
According to Hargreaves, Mbeumo is at an ideal stage of his career to make a significant impact in the Premier League.
He pointed to the player’s age, between 26 and 27, as a period when experience and physical peak often combine to produce consistent top-level performances.
He also suggested that Mbeumo’s contribution could grow even further as he continues to settle into his role.
Mbeumo’s goal against Tottenham added to a run of form that has strengthened United’s attacking options at a crucial point in the season.
His movement, finishing and work rate have given United an edge, particularly in matches where margins are fine.
Looking ahead, the forward has made clear his intention to build on his current form. Mbeumo is focused on increasing his goal tally and helping United maintain momentum, with another league fixture against West Ham scheduled for this weekend.
As United continue their push in the Premier League, Mbeumo’s performances are likely to remain under close scrutiny.
With comparisons now being drawn to one of the league’s most prolific attackers, expectations around his role and influence are set to rise.
🚨🎥 | Owen Hargreaves on Bryan Mbeumo:
“He reminds me of Mo Salah around the box – when he gets the ball he has a clear picture of what he wants. Technically I don’t think he gets enough credit.”
