Cameroon forward Bryan Mbeumo has been named the Premier League Player of the Month for October.
The Manchester United forward also picked up the club prize for the same period, earning the trophy for a second time since joining from Brentford during the close season.
According to a statement on Man United website, across three games in the month of October, the Indomitable Lion provided an assist in the 2-0 win over Sunderland, opened the scoring early on in the superb 2-1 triumph at Liverpool and netted twice against Brighton & Hove Albion at Old Trafford.
Mbeumo won the award ahead of Matty Cash (Aston Villa), Bruno Guimaraes (Newcastle United), Erling Haaland (Manchester City), Eli Junior Kroupi (Bournemouth), Nordi Mukiele (Sunderland), Igor Thiago (Brentford), and Jurrien Timber (Arsenal).

“For all his endeavours with Brentford, this is the first time that Mbeumo has won the overall divisional award,” added the statement. “He is only the second Cameroonian to land the trophy, after former Liverpool defender Joel Matip, in February 2022.
“Our last victor in this field was Bruno Fernandes, as recently as March.”
The Red Devils paid £71m to secure the Cameroon international’s services in the summer and the forward has lived up to expectations.
The 26-year-old has scored 5 goals and provided 1 assist in his 11 appearances for the Red Devils so far, which is not a bad return whatsoever.
Meanwhile, Mbeumo and Reds team-mate Senne Lammens have been nominated for the PFA Premier League Fans’ Player of the Month award.
