Owen Hargreaves draws parallel between Bryan Mbeumo and Mohamed Salah after win vs Spurs

Former Premier League star Owen Hargreaves has appreciated Manchester United's Bryan Mbeumo. He has compared the forward's finishing skill to Liverpool's Mohamed Salah after the victory against Tottenham in the Premier League.

Bryan Mbeumo got compared with Mohamed Salah

Appearing on TNT Sports following the game, Hargreaves heaped praise on Mbeumo for his goal against Tottenham, saying it was an amazing finish. He added that the Manchester United star has an eye for goal, and it is helping the Red Devils, and said:

"He’s 26, 27, he can deliver, he’s just got it. He is a great finisher, I said this a little earlier in the season but he reminds me of Mo Salah. He is a good finisher when he is in those areas, he doesn’t get too up and doesn’t get too down which I think is a brilliant attribute."

Hargreaves also appreciated midfielder Kobbie Mainoo, drawing a parallel between him and club icon George Best. He said that the English player was showing his talent after a tough time under Ruben Amorim and said:

"I can’t believe how talented the kid is. This club is all about producing academy players and he is a fantastic one. He takes the ball at any point and you can pass it to him anywhere on the pitch and he looks like he’s playing the park with his mates. It’s a credit to him. He is so comfortable on the ball and he is so humble. He’s going to be a really special player."

Bryan Mbeumo and Bruno Fernandes scored thegoals as Manchester United defeated Tottenham Hotspur 2-0 on Saturday, February 7, in the Premier League. The Red Devils were given a helping hand by Cristian Romero, who was shown a red card in the first half when it was goalless.

Manchester United reflects on his performance against Tottenham Hotspurs

Manchester United star forward, Bryan Mbeumo, was happy with his performance against Tottenham. He said the goal was a training ground routine, but it was the first that worked right. He said:

"Yeah, it was, but it didn’t work out on the training ground. I put the ball over the fences each time. But yeah, today was the most important, and we’re really happy with the goal because it’s not an easy ball to hit. A lot of spin and the ball comes at Kobbie quite hard so I just try to keep it low. I didn’t try to put too much power into it like I did in training and I'm glad it worked out."

Manchester United will face West Ham before the players have a few days off, as they are out of the FA Cup, and next weekend is scheduled for cup games.
