Bryan Mbeumo scored Manchester United's goal against Manchester United against Leeds United on Sunday, October 18, 2026, on the eighth matchday of the Premier League. Despite the 1-1 draw, the Cameroon striker scored in a second consecutive match and moved to the top of the club's league scoring charts.

Bryan Mbeumo is continuing his fine run. After scoring on the previous matchday, the Cameroon international found the net again against Leeds United. At Elland Road, he opened the scoring in the 35th minute, finishing off an attacking move initiated on the right flank with the involvement of Amad Diallo and Youri Tielemans.

This latest goal takes his tally to four Premier League goals this season. Mbeumo has therefore become Manchester United's top scorer in the league, according to the statistical record available after the match. Across all competitions, his tally stands at five goals, based on the figures recorded for this season.

Mbeumo among the Premier League's joint-eighth-highest scorers

With four goals, Bryan Mbeumo is among the English league's joint-eighth-highest scorers, level with several players. He trails Erling Haaland, who has scored eight goals, while João Pedro and Alexander Isak have five each in the standings published before Sunday's matches.

The Cameroon striker is therefore confirming his offensive consistency. By scoring on two consecutive matchdays, he is maintaining his pace and establishing himself as one of Manchester United's main attacking assets.

Manchester United let victory slip away again

Mbeumo's goal was not enough for the Red Devils. After the break, Leeds equalised through Dominic Calvert-Lewin in the 51st minute following a corner. Despite several attempts in the final half-hour, neither team managed to take the lead. The match ended 1-1.

Manchester United thus let two points slip away, while their Cameroon striker continues to score. For Mbeumo, the run continues; for the Manchester club, the search for collective consistency remains ongoing.
