Mbeumo offers Carrick solace as Man Utd winless run goes on

Bryan Mbeumo scored his fourth Premier League goal of the season as Manchester United drew 1-1 with Leeds at Elland Road, extending their winless run to six matches. The result offered Michael Carrick some encouragement, but United have won only two of their first 10 games in all competitions and remain under pressure to improve.

Mbeumo has scored four times in seven league games, while no other player in Carrick’s squad has more than one league goal apart from Bruno Fernandes. United were 13th in the Premier League after the match, with further changes at left-back and injuries to Lisandro Martinez and Luke Shaw adding to Carrick’s selection difficulties. Carrick said the side needed stability and believed they could put together a good run.
