Video: United hit with injury scare as talisman is spotted limping after Spurs win

There are some fears over the fitness of Manchester United forward Bryan Mbeumo following Saturday’s 2-0 victory against Tottenham Hotspur. Big-game player Mbeumo found the back of the net against another traditional top-six side, this time netting the opener vs. Tottenham at Old Trafford. He scored in the reverse fixture earlier in the season and was on hand to punish his former Brentford manager, Thomas Frank, yet again. In his maiden season at United, Mbeumo has now scored against Tottenham, Liverpool, Manchester City and Arsenal. Bruno Fernandes bagged United’s second to secure all three points vs. Tottenham in the early kick-off. After full-time, a video of Mbeumo emerged on social media, showing the Cameroonian limping and moving uncomfortably as he left the Theatre of Dreams. Injury concerns In the video, Mbeumo is seen in the company of some men but is clearly in visible discomfort. 🚨🎥| Bryan Mbeumo appeared to be limping when leaving Old Trafford today. 🤕 Hopefully nothing serious. ❤️🙏 pic.twitter.com/6iZmCp4I9Q — Kev 屮 (@UtdKev08) February 7, 2026 There has been nothing from Michael Carrick or the club regarding Mbeumo suffering an injury, so hopefully it’s nothing serious and he will be fully fit and available for Tuesday’s upcoming meeting at West Ham. Mbeumo’s strike against Tottenham was his 10th goal for United this season across all competitions. Having returned from AFCON in fine form, his availability is crucial, especially with Patrick Dorgu now sidelined by a hamstring injury. His goal was a special one. Kobbie Mainoo snuck through the Tottenham defence to meet a low corner-kick delivery from Fernandes and cut it back into the path of Mbeumo. The 26-year-old expertly guided it into the bottom corner past a sea of bodies and a helpless Guglielmo Vicario. 🔟🆙 Bryan rounding off a smart routine with his tenth for the Reds 👌 — Manchester United (@ManUtd) February 8, 2026 Speaking to reporters about the goal, Mbeumo explained, “It was the coach who wanted to practice this in training. We did it once, it didn’t work out, but this one was the most important.” “It was Jonny Evans who was coming to me and the guys.” He added about United’s turnaround, “I just feel we built on what we were doing from the start because I don’t think it was that bad as a lot of people felt. We just worked together, make the effort together, with a big mentality, and we’re never beaten. Even if someone gets past, we come back to support and just try to give it all.” “We just want to take it game by game, train as hard as possible and yeah, we just want to keep working as a team.” Mbeumo also thanked United fans for their unwavering support.
