6 G/A in 7 games: Amorim must start £70m forward who loves scoring against Chelsea

Manchester United face Chelsea at Old Trafford in the Premier League tomorrow.

The Red Devils have won only one out of five games this season, increasing the scrutiny on manager Ruben Amorim.

Another defeat tomorrow coupled with a poor performance could force INEOS to consider sacking Amorim in the upcoming international break.

Fortunately for the head coach, he has a lethal forward in his arsenal who loves to play against Chelsea.

Bryan Mbeumo joined United from Brentford this summer in a deal worth around £70 million.

The Cameroon international boasts a superb record against the Blues, scoring three goals and providing three assists in just seven league meetings.

He is also carrying solid form into this clash, having already scored twice in five outings this season.

He was also awarded the August Player of the Month award.

Expectations will be high for the Cameroon international.

Mbeumo has been a constant threat, averaging three shots and seven touches inside the opposition box per game.

He has also carved out nine chances in four league games, underlining his creativity and influence in the final third.

Those numbers are encouraging, but now is the moment for Mbeumo to turn promise into decisive performances.

He missed opportunities against Fulham and went close twice in the 3-0 defeat to Manchester City, but tomorrow he will need a clinical edge.

Amorim is expected to deploy him in the right-sided number 10 role, with Matheus Cunha set to link up alongside him behind Benjamin Sesko.
