Manchester United fans, this one is guaranteed to cause arguments! 😭🔥
The debate has been thrown into the spotlight: Is Antony actually a better winger than Bryan Mbeumo? 🇧🇷🆚🇨🇲
Antony has always divided opinion at Old Trafford. His strengths include close control, left-footed creativity, 1v1 ability and his willingness to take defenders on. During his United spell, however, his Premier League output was modest, with 5 goals and 3 assists in 62 appearances.
Mbeumo, meanwhile, arrived at United after establishing himself as one of the Premier League’s most productive attackers with Brentford. His first season in Manchester produced 12 goals in all competitions, joint-best for United alongside Benjamin Šeško. 📊🔥
And the numbers become even more interesting. In the 2025/26 Premier League campaign, Mbeumo recorded 11 goals and 3 assists in 33 league appearances, giving United a consistent source of goals and attacking threat from the right side.
⚡ Mbeumo also brings serious pace. He reached 36.34 km/h during the 2025/26 Premier League season, putting him among the fastest players in the competition. The Premier League itself recorded that sprint as one of the ten fastest speeds of the campaign.
And the speed hasn’t disappeared this season either. Mbeumo was recently clocked at 33.37 km/h, while also ranking among the league leaders for sprints. 🏃💨
But here’s where the debate gets spicy… 👀
🎯 Antony: flair, technique, close control, creativity and 1v1 ability.
💪 Mbeumo: pace, directness, physicality, pressing and proven Premier League goal production.
So, is Antony genuinely the better winger, even if Mbeumo currently offers more end product?
Or is this simply nostalgia talking? 😭🔥
