BREAKING NEWS:

Manchester United’s latest recruit, Bryan Mbeumo, has set tongues wagging with a remarkable post-match confession following yesterday’s heated Manchester Derby – one that saw Manchester City run away with a dominant 3-0 victory at the Etihad.

The Red Devils may have suffered a heavy defeat, but one moment after the final whistle has got fans and pundits talking across social media.

Speaking exclusively after the game, Mbeumo admitted that he had never faced a player quite like City’s new boy, Husanov, and he didn’t hold back in his praise for the 20-year-old sensation.

> “Ever since when I started my career as a player, I have never for once played against such a dangerously aggressive player like him before,” Mbeumo said. “He almost sent me to injury last night. His intensity, his physical presence, and his reading of the game were unbelievable. He’s young but he plays like a seasoned warrior. He really made me work for every single ball.”

The remarks have sparked huge reactions online, with fans lauding Husanov’s incredible impact in just a few months since joining Manchester City. Pep Guardiola’s men completely dominated the derby from start to finish, with Husanov putting in one of the most commanding performances of the night – earning an impressive 8.5/10 rating from pundits and leaving United attackers frustrated at every turn.

City’s midfield and backline were ruthless, stifling United’s every attempt to build momentum, and Husanov was at the heart of it all. His combination of aggressive pressing, clever positioning, and fearless tackling turned him into a nightmare for United’s attack, especially for Mbeumo, who was making his derby debut.

Social media has since been flooded with clips of Husanov’s crunching challenges and key interceptions, with many fans calling him “the future of Manchester City’s midfield engine.” Others have drawn comparisons with club legends, claiming Pep Guardiola might have unearthed yet another generational talent.

Mbeumo’s public praise only further highlights the player’s growing reputation. United fans, although disappointed with the result, have commended their new signing for being honest and showing respect to a rival player after such a heated encounter.

For City, this victory cements their dominance in Manchester yet again and sends a strong message to the rest of the league. With Husanov already looking like a complete player despite his age, Pep Guardiola seems to have found another vital piece in his title-chasing machine.

Mbeumo summed it up perfectly in his closing words:

> “He’s really a great player. You can’t take anything away from him. City have got a gem there, and I’m sure he’s going to be a nightmare for many attackers this season.”

The Manchester Derby may have been one-sided, but it has once again thrown the spotlight on the incredible talent Manchester City keep producing and signing. The Premier League better take note — Husanov has arrived, and he’s not here to play games.
