Rooney Hails Mbeumo After Anfield Win as United’s Best Player So Far

Rooney now hails Mbeumo as validation of United’s £71m bet.

Overview

  • Bryan Mbeumo scored inside two minutes in Manchester United’s 2-1 victory at Anfield, with Harry Maguire netting a late winner for the club’s first win there in nearly a decade.
  • Wayne Rooney, who previously questioned the signing, said Mbeumo has proved him wrong and described the forward as by far United’s best player this season.
  • Mbeumo joined from Brentford in the summer for a reported £71m after a 20-goal Premier League campaign last season.
  • Rooney praised Ruben Amorim’s game plan as spot on and highlighted Maguire’s leadership as decisive at Anfield.
  • United recorded back-to-back Premier League wins under Amorim for the first time and sit two points behind Liverpool after eight matches.
