Mbeumo was signed from Brentford this summer, the forward having notched 20 goals in the Premier League last season.

The Cameroon international got off the mark with a simple finish to make it 2-1 in the second half, netting almost immediately after Lyle Foster had equalised for the Clarets at the Stretford End.

“I feel very good, obviously. I think today was really important that we could win,” Mbeumo told MUTV.

“I'm really happy to score my first goal here. We had a lot of chances in the first half, but yeah, I think we kept going in the game and we got our reward at the end.

“It was really important to give us confidence and helps me prepare for the national team.”

Speaking to the BBC, Mbeumo was asked about getting the win for Ruben Amorim and responded: “We are all a team, it is not only one person. We all worked very hard for the win today.”

During his post-match press conference, Amorim praised Mbeumo’s contribution after missing a penalty against Grimsby.
