🔍 A player to watch this weekend
Instant impact of Mbeumo
Manchester United Face Fulham on Super Sunday Hoping to rely on the positive points of their close loss against Arsenal. Bryan Mbeumo’s performance was one of them. Its beginnings, after a strong pre-season, underlined its potential to transform their attack.
This could be seen in his very first actions of the game.
Inside the first minute, Mbeumo checked a loop authorization in his own half, then led Manchester United deep in the arsenal territory at the break. Shortly after, he clung to a Bruno Fernandes through the ball and tested David Raya.
Manchester United ended up dominating possession against one of the best teams in the Premier League for the first time in a decade. It was by attacking quickly and directly, however, that they looked the most dangerous. Matheus Cunha helped, but Mbeumo was essential.
Manchester United has directed more attacks in their right against Arsenal
Last season, Manchester United directed a much higher percentage of attacks on the left than the right, but the accent is completely turned against Arsenal while they were looking for Mbeumo on each occasion. The former Brentford winger is now their point of sale.
He finished the match after having more shots than any other player. He ranked top for the keys in the opposition box and dribble also. But it is its movement that makes it all possible.
Mbeumo did more attacks than anyone in the Brentford division last season and he occupied the same place in the classification at the opening weekend of the new campaign.

The 26 -year -old gave Manchester United a new level of racing power. Its total of 30 runs of attack during its very first appearance for the club was only improved by the players of Manchester United five times during the all -season in the Premier League.
Ruben Amorim said since his appointment last year that he wanted his team to have more possession and therefore more control. But increasing their threat to the counter and transitions is also considered to be crucial. It is already clear that Mbeumo makes it possible.
Against Arsenal, Manchester United totaled four direct attacks and three fast breaks, a combined total beaten only by Liverpool and Bournemouth on the opening weekend and a significant increase in the averages on the side under Amorim last season.
The problem, of course, was that they were unable to count them. The next challenge is to find a ruthless advantage, from Craven Cottage. But the impact of Mbeumo is obvious, even after a match. Manchester United saw what they can become.
O’riley can fill Joao Pedro Void
Matt O’riley assumed penalty taking for Brighton against Fulham last weekend after the departure of Joao Pedro in Chelsea. Playing in role n ° 10 canceled by the Brazilian, he also offered a similar level of industry outside the ball.

His total of 66 pressures in the 1-1 draw with the Marco Silva team was the eighth higher among the Premier League players the opening weekend. Above all, O’riley offered quality as well as quantity. No player has done any more pressure on turnover. Its industry has helped create opportunities for Brighton to injure Fulham.
Fabio Hurzeler praised his global contribution thereafter. “He does a lot of work out of possession, so we are not only happy to have it because of the objective,” he said. The boss of Brighton hopes the most of the same against him against Everton Super Sunday.
The injuries made it difficult for O’riley to present these physical qualities something as he would have liked in his first season in Brighton after his arrival of 25 million pounds of Celtic last year. It was limited to only 11 departures in the Premier League.
But despite the interest of Napoli Italian clubs, Atalanta and Roma this summer, the first proofs of this season suggest that the club would be wise to keep it while they adapt to life without its former teammate, out of the ball as well as there.
