Mbeumo Fitness in Question After Limp-Off in Man United Win

His replacement, Benjamin Sesko, scored soon after, sharpening Michael Carrick's selection call before Friday's visit to Bournemouth.

Overview

  • Bryan Mbeumo was substituted during Manchester United's 3-1 victory over Aston Villa at Old Trafford, with Benjamin Sesko coming on and adding the third goal.
  • Broadcast footage showed Mbeumo limping and shaking his head while speaking to Diogo Dalot as he left the field, prompting on-air concern from Gary Neville.
  • Neville asked whether Mbeumo was carrying a knock, though there has been no official update from the club or comment from Michael Carrick on the substitution.
  • Mbeumo has started every match under Carrick since returning from the Africa Cup of Nations but has frequently been withdrawn in recent games.
  • United have a short turnaround before facing Bournemouth on Friday, then break until mid-April, offering recovery time if Mbeumo is managing an issue.
