However, Mbeumo had other ideas. Despite having played the full 90 minutes, the United forward showcased incredible stamina and raw pace to sprint 70 metres back towards his own goal. As the video below shows, Mbeumo not only kept pace with the fresh-legged Traore, who had only entered the fray as a late substitute, but actually overtook him, cutting off the passing lane and effectively killing the danger. The defensive effort was greeted with cheers from the travelling support, who have quickly warmed to Mbeumo's selfless style of play since his move from Brentford.
