In the ultra-competitive landscape of the Premier League, few new signings make an immediate impact. But Bryan Mbeumo has broken that pattern at Manchester United, mirroring a feat last accomplished by Cristiano Ronaldo in 2021.
Bryan Mbeumo hasn't taken long to shake up the conversation at Old Trafford. In a league where new signings often need months to settle, the Cameroonian winger has hit the ground sprinting, so much so that he’s just matched a milestone last reached by Cristiano Ronaldo. Winning the Premier League Player of the Month award in the same calendar year as his arrival places Mbeumo in rare company and signals that his Manchester United story might be heading somewhere special.
Bryan Mbeumo - Manchester United 2025-26
The 26-year-old winger, who joined United from Brentford in July 2025 for over £70 million, was named Premier League Player of the Month for October 2025 after netting three goals and providing one assist in a series of decisive performances. His explosive start at Old Trafford has evoked memories of Cristiano Ronaldo’s return to United in 2021, when the Portuguese legend earned the same honour just weeks after rejoining from Juventus.

Ronaldo, in his second spell with the Red Devils, won the Premier League Player of the Month award in September 2021, marking a triumphant comeback to English football. Until Mbeumo's recognition in 2025, no other Manchester United signing had won the award within the same calendar year of their arrival.
For Cameroonian fans and bettors, Bryan Mbeumo’s emergence resonates beyond England. Since switching his national allegiance from France to Cameroon in 2022, he has become a vital part of the Indomitable Lions’ attack.
Rasmus Højlund, another recent United forward, also won Player of the Month - though under different circumstances. His February 2024 award came months after his 2023 transfer and highlighted his gradual adaptation to the Premier League before being loaned to Napoli for the 2025/26 season.
Mbeumo’s achievement stands out not just because of the accolade itself, but because of the timing. To match a feat previously held by a player of Ronaldo’s calibre within months of arriving at Old Trafford signals more than just a strong start - it hints at the beginning of a defining chapter in Mbeumo’s career.
Only time will tell how far Mbeumo can go at Manchester United. But for now, he’s earned his place in a very exclusive club - alongside Cristiano Ronaldo.
