Amorim, Bryan Mbeumo Win Premier League Awards
Manchester United boss Ruben Amorim and his ward Bryan Mbeumo have been named the Premier League manager and Player for October. Amorim secured wins against Sunderland, Liverpool and Brighton during an uplifting month for the club. The 40-year-old claimed back-to-back league wins for the first time in the Premier League against Liverpool at Anfield, with Harry Maguire scoring a late headed goal to seal a 2-1 victory. Similarly, Mbeumo played a pivotal role in all three of Man United’s victories in October. During the 2-0 win over Sunderland, Mbeumo provided a crucial assist to Mason Mount, who opened the scoring. He then scored within just two minutes of play to hand United a crucial lead over Liverpool, with the visitors holding out for a 2-1 triumph. In what was arguable his finest moment of October, Mbeumo scored two goals to give United an emphatic 4-2 victory over Brighton & Hove Albion. While a phenomenal month for Mbeumo, this forms just part of what has been a scintillating season for the forward to date. Since arriving at Old Trafford in the summer transfer window, Mbeumo has been an instant success. In ten Premier League appearances, Mbeumo has netted four goals and grabbed an assist. He has also exhibited much quality on the ball, with 80% passing including 90% accuracy from within his own half.
