Manchester United: Mbeumo and the Striker Dilemma

Manchester United's management faces a serious challenge in searching for an effective attacking formula after their extremely weak season, marked by a minimal number of scored goals - just 44 goals.

The club invested nearly 127.5 million pounds in new attackers, including Mateus Kunya from Wolverhampton and Bryan Mbeumo from Brentford. Expert Chris Sudden emphasizes that the new additions are "proven players" with high potential and experience in the Premier League.

The main question remains whether Rasmus Hojlund will keep his place as the central striker. Last season, the Dane scored only four goals, which puts his effectiveness into doubt.

Mbeumo appears to be an extremely interesting addition - in the past season he scored 20 goals and ranked among the most productive players in the league. His versatility - ability to play as a right winger or central striker - makes him exceptionally attractive for the team's tactical plans.

Statistical data shows that Mbeumo not only scores goals but also creates numerous opportunities for his teammates. He leads the ranking for result-producing passes with 9.3 expected assists, which makes him an extremely valuable player.

Coach Ruben Amorim is looking for exactly this type of footballer - consistent, reliable, and with high work capacity. Mbeumo meets these criteria, demonstrating stability and effectiveness during the past season.

The club's financial limitations, however, may prevent potential additional transfers. The management will have to carefully consider whether to invest in a new central striker or rely on the current squad.

Hojlund still has development potential - his contract is valid until 2028, which provides an opportunity for patience and gradual improvement of his qualities. On the other hand, the lack of effectiveness may put him in an uncertain position.

The new additions Mbeumo and Kunya will definitely create competition and raise the level of Manchester United's attacking formation. The question is whether this will be enough to return the team among the leading teams in the Premier League.

The upcoming season will show whether the club's transfer strategy is correct and whether the new players will be able to restore the confidence and productivity of this legendary English football team.
