"Manchester United will need to adapt to life without Amad Diallo and Bryan Mbeumo during the Africa Cup of Nations which kicks off later this year. The Red Devils have turned a corner in recent weeks under Ruben Amorim, whose side boasts one of the best attacking outputs in the Premier League this term."
"The Cameroonian has scored four times in 10 Premier League outings for the Old Trafford club so far, building on his 20-goal campaign for the Bees last season. However, Man United will lose Mbeumo for up to six weeks when the biennial Africa Cup of Nations tournament takes place between December 2025 and January 2026. Should Mbeumo and Cameroon make it to the final on January 18, he stands to miss up to seven Man United fixtures."
Manchester United have improved attacking output under Ruben Amorim. The club signed Bryan Mbeumo for 65 million last summer. Mbeumo has scored four times in ten Premier League appearances, building on a 20-goal season for Brentford. The Africa Cup of Nations takes place in Morocco between December 2025 and January 2026. Cameroon face Ivory Coast, Gabon and Mozambique in the group stage and are expected to progress. Mbeumo could be absent for up to six weeks, potentially missing seven fixtures if Cameroon reach the final. Amad Diallo and Noussair Mazraoui are also likely AFCON call-ups. Eighteen-year-old right winger Shea Lacey has excelled for the Under-21s and could step into the first-team picture.
