African stars Bryan Mbeumo, Idrissa Gueye, Ibrahim Sangare, Yan Diomande, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, and Mamadou Sangare showcased their scoring prowess across top European leagues this past weekend.
According to AFP reporting, Cameroon international Bryan Mbeumo once again found the net for Manchester United as the club continued to build upward momentum in this season’s campaign.
Mbeumo, who arrived from Brentford in the summer, marked his latest appearance by scoring a low-driven finish just 61 seconds into the contest, helping guide United to a 2-1 victory at Liverpool’s ground — their first league win at Anfield since 2016.
The 26-year-old attacker slipped past the defence of Liverpool and drilled the ball beyond the goalkeeper following a pass from Ivorian winger Amad Diallo.
Cody Gakpo’s equaliser in the 78th minute was answered by a header from Harry Maguire six minutes later, sealing United’s first back-to-back league wins under manager Rúben Amorim.
The AFP roundup highlights Mbeumo among a cohort of African-born players making a tangible impact in Europe’s major leagues.
His recent goal ended a dry spell since his last strike in August and emphasised his growing importance in the United attack.
United’s surge arrives at a pivotal moment: with domestic and continental ambitions in view, the club’s ability to integrate new signings and extract value from them is under scrutiny.
Mbeumo’s sharp start suggests he is adapting quickly to the demands of one of football’s most high-profile environments.
Looking ahead, the Cameroon international will aim to maintain his form as United seek to reclaim status among the elite.
