Man United handed new AFCON blow as Bryan Mbeumo braced for twistManchester United star Bryan Mbeumo has been playing for Cameroon at the Africa Cup of Nations with Ruben Amorim missing his goals and creativity at Old TraffordView 2 Images Bryan Mbeumo has been away at the Africa Cup of Nations for Cameroon (Image: SmartFrame/SportImage)Manchester United forward Bryan Mbeumo is set to have his return to Old Trafford delayed after Cameroon won their last 16 game at the Africa Cup of Nations. It means that either Mbeumo or fellow United star Noussair Mazraoui will be knocked out by the other and head back to M16. Before a group stage game against Mozambique, Cameroon head coach David Pagou admitted Mbeumo was, potentially, putting too much pressure on himself to succeed.

I know that my name is not Tuchel, it's not Conte, it's not Mourinho, but I'm the manager of Manchester United.
