No limits for Mbeumo

Manchester United new-boy Bryan Mbeumo is aiming high.

Mbeumo took his tally for the season to five with his double in the 4-2 win against Brighton at Old Trafford.

It keeps him on track to match the 20 goals he scored in his final season for Brentford before his £65m summer move north, even though he will miss two months of the campaign when he links up with Cameroon for Africa Cup of Nations duty.

But Mbeumo is not setting himself targets.

"I always try to aim big in everything I do," he said.

"I try to not set limits on myself, on what I can reach. I'm just going to work and try to do as the best I possibly can."

United's policy of signing Premier League ready attacking players and bringing them in before the club embarked on their pre-season tour of the United States is having a positive impact.

Mbeumo and fellow new arrival Matheus Cunha have brought purpose and direction to United's attack as well as a greater goal threat.

Cunha has taken longer to get his first goal, although his campaign was disrupted slightly by the hamstring injury he sustained in the victory over Burnley in August that ruled him out of the September internationals and the Manchester derby last month.

Head coach Ruben Amorim admitted after the Brighton game he felt it was bothering Cunha that he had not scored since his arrival from Wolves and Mbeumo noticed it as well.

"Of course," he said. "I think he took some pressure off his shoulders with that goal. He was waiting for it. We were waiting for it for him as well."
