Manchester United have had numerous players in international action over recent days during the extended international break.
Owing to the diverse nationalities in the United dressing room, players have been playing all over the world in a range of competitions.
Bryan Mbeumo
The Cameroon international scored last time out versus Comoros in a 3-1 win.
He once again played the entire 90 minutes but could not get on the scoresheet in their 1-1 draw with Congo Republic in the AFCON qualifier.
Mbeumo had two shots on goal with one being blocked by the opposition defence.
The attacker was dangerous with the ball at his feet, creating three key passes in the match and completing four of his six cross attempts.
He also completed 82% of his passes in the match and 100% of his long ball attempts.
Mbeumo was not very effective defensively, as he did not make a tackle and lost both his ground duels.
Andrey Santos
In spite of recently losing his place in the United starting line-up, Santos was called up to the recent Brazil squad.
He saw his first action off the bench this international break in Brazil’s 4-2 win over Australia in a friendly match.
Santos played the final 29 minutes of the game, completing 76% of his passes. He did not make any key passes or have any shots on goal during his time on the pitch.
The defensive midfielder was quite combative in the engine room, winning a tackle, four ground duels, and 100% of his aerial battles.
Jacob Devaney
Devaney played the entire match of Ireland u-21’s 4-3 win over Kazakhstan.
He completed 74% of his passes and had one shot at goal that was ultimately blocked.
Devaney won 100% of his four tackles and also won an outstanding eight duels in the match.
