Manchester United have finally shown signs of life. After a rocky spell, two of their newest stars — Matheus Cunha and Bryan Mbeumo — have taken centre-stage. They both make the latest Premier League Team of the Week and could be the key to United’s climb back up.
Cunha’s First Strike for United
Matheus Cunha grabbed his first goal for United in a moment of pure quality. His curled shot gave the Red Devils an early foothold in their big win. That kind of finish shows that the tough summer move is already paying off. His presence also adds a fresh attacking option United had lacked.
Mbeumo Delivering the Goods
Bryan Mbeumo has not only started well — he’s hitting top form. Two goals, one in stoppage time to seal the result, and a lively showing against a strong opponent have earned him plaudits. His work-rate, movement and finish suggest he could become the match-winner United hoped he’d be.
What This Means for United’s Revival
With Cunha and Mbeumo stepping up, United’s attack looks sharper and more dangerous. But it’s not just about them: manager Ruben Amorim appears to have finally put the right pieces together. According to some experts, this recent stretch is his best week in charge so far. Still, United must build consistency — one good week doesn’t guarantee a full revival.
The Bigger Picture of the Weekend
While United grabbed the headlines, the Team of the Week shows how the Premier League is changing. From substitutes stepping up to promoted teams surprising the big guns, this weekend underlined that no one can relax. Cunha and Mbeumo’s inclusion alongside players from mid-table sides tells you how competitive things are right now.
Author’s Insight
It’s easy to get carried away when two new signings shine so brightly. But here’s the truth: Cunha and Mbeumo are making a difference, yes — yet they are also masking some of United’s still-lingering problems. The defence remains shaky, and against strong opposition the attack might not always bail them out. If United are to truly revive, they’ll need consistent displays, not just flashes. For now, though, these two are giving fans reason to hope — and sometimes that spark is all you need to ignite something bigger.
