Bryan Mbeumo has pushed back on the notion that Ruben Amorim\u2019s tactical setup is the root cause of Manchester United\u2019s early issues. Signed this summer to help United adapt to the new arrangement after operating both as a striker and a winger in a similar role at Brentford, Mbeumo urged focus on the squad\u2019s response rather than the system itself.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s a little different for me,\u201d he told Sky Sports. \u201cI\u2019ve played this system in the past as well.\u201d Mbeumo argued that external criticism should not distract the players from finding positives and fixing details on the pitch.<\/p>\n
His remarks follow similar comments from defender Matthijs de Ligt, who has asked team-mates to shoulder more responsibility for results instead of directing blame at Amorim. Mbeumo expanded on that position, emphasising collective accountability.<\/p>\n
\u201cI think everyone in the team needs to take responsibility,\u201d Mbeumo continued. \u201cWhen you play in a club this big, everyone needs to know what to do. As a team, we need to do better.\u201d The forward made clear he sees the issues as fixable and linked to the squad adapting to each other rather than a fundamental flaw in tactical shape.<\/p>\n
Despite the turbulence surrounding the club\u2019s start, Mbeumo said his early months at Old Trafford have been positive. He highlighted the challenge of building combinations with new team-mates and expressed confidence in improvement as players grow accustomed to each other.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s exciting, because we get to learn to play with new players and it\u2019s always challenging, but that\u2019s what we like as footballers,\u201d he added. \u201cOf course it will improve, we haven\u2019t played a lot together, so there are certain things that we\u2019re going to improve, and there are different types of players, but it\u2019s good to be with them.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
