Manchester United travel to Molineux tomorrow to take on Wolverhampton Wanderers in the Premier League.
Despite winning just one of their last five outings, the Red Devils will still enter the contest as firm favourites.
Wolves remain the only team without a Premier League win this season and sit rock bottom of the table.
One United star burst out of the blocks early in the campaign but has gone noticeably quiet over the past two weeks.
Bryan Mbeumo has been United’s brightest spark this season, scoring five goals and supplying one assist across 14 matches.
However, he has struggled to make an impact in recent fixtures, and his dip in form mirrors the team’s overall slump.
Mbeumo now has the perfect chance to rediscover his spark against Wolves, a side he has punished before with three goals and two assists in six league meetings.
The 26-year-old is also set to link up with Cameroon soon for the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON), adding extra importance to his final few club games.
He has injected a level of directness and urgency into United’s attack that had been sorely missing.
With Benjamin Sesko sidelined with a knee injury and Matheus Cunha still falling short of expectations, the attacking burden rests heavily on Mbeumo.
The £61 million-rated star is United’s main man in these testing weeks, and manager Ruben Amorim will hope to see him fire up the away end once again.
The Red Devils have slumped to 12th in the table, yet a single win could catapult them all the way back into the race for fifth.
For Amorim, clinching European football may be the difference between keeping his job and facing the Old Trafford exit door.
