Bryan Mbeumo is a nominee for the Premier League Player of the Month award following his brilliant run of form at Manchester United.

Since completing a £65m move from Brentford in the summer, Bryan Mbeumo has settled brilliantly at Manchester United.

Mbeumo has been United’s best signing of the summer so far, with five goals in his opening 10 matches. Including two goals against Brighton in the latest 4-2 victory.

It means that Bryan Mbeumo has already matched Rasmus Hojlund’s goal tally from the 2024/25 season in his first few months, and the 26-year-old is showing no signs of slowing down.

After his heroics against Brighton, Mbeumo won Premier League Player of the Week and he was also named in Alan Shearer’s Team of the Week.

But Mbeumo has been impressing throughout October, with three goals and one assist in his three matches this month.

As a result, Mbeumo is one of eight nominees for the Premier League Player of the Month award.

Fans can vote for United’s No.19 to win the award, but he is up against some top competition.

Among Mbeumo’s seven rivals for the award are two former United targets – Erling Haaland and Jurrien Timber.

United missed out on Haaland under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s tenure, and he eventually made his way to Manchester City. Haaland also scored three goals across October.

Under Erik ten Hag, United were in talks to sign Jurrien Timber before he moved from Ajax to Arsenal. He has been a key part of Arsenal’s impressive defence this season and is also up for the award.

Matty Cash, Bruno Guimaraes, Junior Kroupi, Nordi Mukiele and Igor Thiago are the other nominees battling it out for the award.
