Mbeumo says Man United players should take responsibility for poor results

Cameroon forward Byran Mbeumo has called on Manchester United players to take responsibility and help turn around the team’s season.

The Reds Devils are having a poor start to the Premier League season which has seen them currently placed 14th on the 20 team league table with seven points. They have played six matches, won two, drawn one and lost three.

“Obviously disappointed with the result, I had a warm welcome back from the fans and I will never forget that,” Mbeumo said as quoted by Sky Sports. “I think everyone in the team needs to take responsibility. When you play in a club this big, everyone needs to know what to do – as a team, we need to do better.”

‘You must stay focused on your own things’

Mbeumo added: “Obviously it’s different, it’s not the same, but the only thing we want to be focused on is ourselves, we just try to listen to what’s going on inside.

“It’s not that hard [to block the noise out], obviously, the main thing we see is on social media, so it’s just not going on there much, and you just have to stay focused on your own things.”

The striker, who joined Man United from Brentford on transfer deadline day, continued: “It’s exciting, because we get to learn to play with new players and it’s always challenging, but that’s what we like as footballers,” Mbeumo said.

“Of course it will improve, we haven’t played a lot together, so there are certain things that we’re going to improve, and there are different types of players, but it’s good to be with them.”

Out of six Premier League matches, Mbeumo has only scored one goal for Man United so far this season.
