Bryan Mbeumo’s goal helped Manchester United secure a 2-0 win over Tottenham, but his condition after the final whistle has become the main talking point following the Premier League clash.
The 26-year-old Cameroonian forward was seen leaving the stadium with a noticeable limp, accompanied by members of the club’s medical and coaching staff.
The scenes immediately raised concerns among supporters, despite United’s comfortable victory, with questions emerging over whether Mbeumo may have suffered an injury during the match.
Mbeumo had been one of United’s standout performers on the night, capping his display by finding the net as Michael Carrick’s side claimed three valuable points.
His contribution once again underlined his importance to the team during the current campaign, in which he has grown into a leading figure in the attacking line.
The forward’s form this season has been consistent.
In the Premier League alone, he has registered nine goals and one assist, statistics that place him among the club’s most productive players.
His influence has been particularly notable since his return from international duty, having previously missed several matches while representing his country at the Africa Cup of Nations.
Since rejoining the squad, Mbeumo has quickly re-established himself as a central element of Carrick’s tactical setup.
His movement, work rate and ability to deliver decisive moments in the final third have made him a key reference point in United’s attacking play, especially in high-profile fixtures such as the encounter with Tottenham.
However, the sight of the winger struggling as he made his way out of the stadium has shifted attention away from the result itself.
No official statement has yet clarified the nature or severity of the issue, leaving supporters to speculate over his availability for the coming days.
Manchester United’s schedule offers little time for recovery, with another league fixture looming.
The team are due to face West Ham United on Tuesday, a match in which Mbeumo’s presence could again prove crucial.
Fans will be hoping that the apparent problem is minor and that the player’s condition does not worsen.
For now, United’s win over Tottenham stands as a positive result, but the uncertainty surrounding one of their most influential attackers ensures that concern remains as the focus turns to the next challenge.
