BRYAN MBEUMO admits “it hasn't been easy” for Manchester United's new-look attack in the early stages of the season.

But he insists the connection between himself, Matheus Cunha and Benjamin Sesko is starting to develop.

Mbeumo scored twice in the second-half on Saturday as United made it three wins in a row.

United took a 2-0 lead into halftime thanks to goals from Cunha and Casemiro and looked on their way to victory when Mbeumo made it 3-0.

But a nervy finish was in store after Danny Welbeck’s free-kick and Charalampos Kostoulas’ header in added time before Mbeumo stepped up to seal victory.

Cunha's strike was his first for the club and Mbeumo admitted it was a relief for the Brazilian to get off the mark.

“Of course the pressure is off his shoulders with the goal, he was waiting for it and we were waiting for it as well,” said Cameroon star Mbeumo.

“We are very happy for him. We are growing the linkups between each other (himself, Sesko and Cunha).
