Mbeumo leads United hope
All four of Manchester United’s new signings played a major part in the win over Brighton.
Matheus Cunha netted the opener, Senne Lammens was a calming presence in goal, and Benjamin Sesko provided an assist.
But it was Mbeumo who was the best of the bunch, and has been since the moment he signed.
He was a constant threat, providing two chances and landing three shots on target, scoring with two of them.
There is a lot more to come from this quartet, with Mbeumo leading the way.
