Africa-Press – Lesotho. Bryan Mbeumo wrote his name into Manchester United folklore on Saturday, scoring his first Premier League goal for the club in a dramatic 3-2 win over Burnley at Old Trafford.
The Cameroonian forward struck in the 64th minute to restore United’s lead just moments after Burnley had levelled the game at 1-1. The goal came in classic counter-attacking fashion — goalkeeper Altay Bayindir launched a long ball forward, Joshua Zirkzee rose highest to flick it on, and Diogo Dalot raced to the byline before cutting it back across goal.
Waiting unmarked inside the six-yard box, Mbeumo made no mistake, smashing home to put Amorim’s side 2-1 up and sending the United supporters into raptures.
The game had begun with United taking the lead early, but Burnley fought back to equalise, forcing the Red Devils into a response. Mbeumo’s strike swung the momentum back in United’s favour, and despite another tense passage of play, they held their nerve to secure their first full points of the new campaign with a 3-2 victory.
For Mbeumo, the goal marked not just a milestone but also a statement of intent at Old Trafford, as he looks to establish himself as a key figure in United’s frontline.
