Premier League updates and goals

New Manchester United forward Bryan Mbeumo is hoping to fire Cameroon to glory at the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) in Morocco.

The 26-year-old has the most goals in this season’s Premier League of any player at the tournament, with five of his six in the top flight for United coming in Mbeumo’s last nine league appearances.

Cameroon are five-time AFCON champions but will not be going to the 2026 World Cup after being knocked out by DR Congo in qualifying in November.
