Do you think what I am saying is incorrect? If so, contest it, it’s an opinion after all.
I don't see why he couldn't recreate that type of partnership with Sesko. The problem is in our current setup it's Bruno alongside Sesko 90% of the time. To me it makes little sense.
I don't wish to generally debate the quality of Amorim but one of the good things he did was having the likes of Mbeumo run in behind.
I want to see some of those knock ons again whether it's Sesko to Mbeumo or Mbeumo to Amad. For whatever reason I don't think Carrick gets the most out of our wingers.
Man!! … genuine admiration. Always enjoy your posts.
This place, sometimes.
Maybe my lack of clarity.
Yep - hopefully just formOh! It read the opposite!
I hope the both of them kick on, honestly.
Might be over simplifying it here but didn’t Dorgu suddenly find form when Carrick arrived? He certainly gave us another dimension and allowed Cunha, Amad and Bryan space.
The current set up needs at least one proper winger, which Dorgu gave us as a LW. Think that would help Sesko too.
I think you could also get that from having 2 quality fullbacks who can act as wingers when we're dominating and on the attack.
Yeah, we probably haven’t seen enough of Dorgu to establish just how sustainable his lw role can be, but would help in the lb area as well as attacking positions, Shaw isn’t sustainable, though we might squeeze another season out of him. So many variables that have a flow on effect for other positions but a good mf recruitment would help enormously. Even just x2 in would be an improvement, considering Ugarte has been as good as non-existent.
That's not true.
How so?
So if that's a valid excuse for under performing attackers how for back are we allowed to use it? Are midfield has been dead for the better part of the last decade and if you tried to use that excuse last season you'd be rightly told it's a load of shite. Are attackers are under performing and it's on them to improve, obviously a better midfield will make a better team but that doesn't excuse attackers taking shite shots, ignore passes, miscontrol simple passes, dribbling into dead ends etc and that's what they've all done the season and Mbeumo had been guilty of it for months now.
You could go back for over a decade and say part of the problem attackers have had is a midfield behind them not performing.
You are right though, there are definitely parts of their play that has nothing to do with the midfield. When Cunha has a bad touch (he has many) or when our crosses are way off target.
However in terms of raw output you cannot judge the attack without including the midfield.
There is logic in the statement that players will naturally perform better when they are surrounded by better players or playing in a system that accentuates their qualities.
But to say you cannot fairly judge a player without this hypothesized ideal scenario would mean you can almost never judge any player, ever. That is not logical. The reality is that you can evaluate the player's skillset and potential upside/downside within the context of their current surroundings and circumstances. By applying context, one make a reasonable evaluation.
You can evaluate their skillset, but u cant get a proper idea of their performance.
Also we are not talking at all about idea scenario, just a functioning midfield for the level we are judging them on.
I disagree with you for the reasons already stated, as well as for the fact that you can also take into account a player's performance history as a guide for what you can expect from them. I feel like I have seen enough of Mbeumo at Brentford and at United to make a fair judgment on what we can expect from him now and going forward.
He'll improve, have seen some great flashes with rounding the keeper vs Arsenal, scoring at Anfield and against City. Just a tough patch for him, hopefully gets back on track tonight.
Man Utd 2:1 Brentford
New
Did some unfriendly shaman steal his mojo at Afcon ffs
He’s lucky Amad is diverting stick away from him. He’s been shocking.
Needs a goal so badly. I know he's not a dribbler but he's so predictable right now, not taking on his fullback at all.
Slight concern is turning into full blown worry now. He looks awful and completely ineffective. The best thing he did all game was the decoy run for the goal.
Absolutely shocking today
Mbeumo is lost in this United team. And worse I sense that his team mates avoid passing to him now. You can sense his frustration. He feels he puts in all this work and his only involvement is running around to either create space for others or defending. But its normal. The same was happening with sesko at the beginning. Bruno would prefer passing to Mbeumo because Sesko didnt make good use of the ball. Since Sesko has improved the reverse is happening now. United needs a starting and effective winger. Mbeumo and Amad are not league winning wingers.
Very concerned by his performances. Fallen off a cliff in form is not an exaggeration
Another really bad performance and looks like he is done for the season now.
Is he knackered or what? He's not going to the World Cup at least if he is. He just looks way off it. Hopefully he'll be back stronger next season.
I'd give him a 6.5/10 for that
He was slightly dissappointing but he didnt have no impact - he made off the ball runs and then had a poor touch when played in, or had to be defended in the 2nd goal which made it easier to play Sesko in to score. Not quite solid, certainly room for improvement if he wants to start on the right wing. But he did have an impact

A slightly better upgrade on Antony at the moment. He needs sorting out fast.
I breathed a sigh of relief when Bruno passed it to Sesko for the goal.
Woeful for way too long now, starting to question his ability rather than his form, every team we play seems to have better wide players than him, including the club we signed him from
Not sure what he's actually good at, touch is rubbish, final ball is rubbish, average pace, cant dribble....

Must be a typo. Not even half of that. You’re describing any PL player there.
Not sure about that even at the moment, genuinely a waste of space in this current form.
So much talk about the left wing but Mbeumo and Amad’s performances in 2026 cast serious doubt on whether our right wing is good enough.
Mbeumo’s lack of dribbling has been a problem all season but his first touch in the second half of the season has been woeful and possibly a bigger issue. In the last weeks he’s had openings he’s mucked up because of bad touches.

Played like a better version of me when I'm absolutely knackered.
Can't get past anyone at the moment
We need a new RW at this rate. Terrible again.
Thought he started well and his basics were back. First touch was on point, holding it up for us. Best he's looked for a while.
But yeah got worse as the game went on.
Both wide men really need to just stick to the basics of wide play. Get some delivery in. Run in behind.

No.
Brentford robbed us. He barely looks PL quality at the moment.
You think he was a 3/10?
