EPL: Owen Hargreaves Advises Ruben Amorim to Play Bryan Mbeumo as Striker Instead of Benjamin Sesko, Suggests Change in Bruno Fernandes’ Role

Former Manchester United midfielder, Owen Hargreaves, has offered tactical advice to manager Ruben Amorim, urging him to utilize Bryan Mbeumo in the striker position rather than relying on Benjamin Sesko.

Hargreaves believes Mbeumo’s versatility, speed, and sharp attacking instinct could provide Manchester United with a more direct attacking threat in front of goal. According to him, Amorim needs to consider making tactical adjustments that would maximize Mbeumo’s strengths.

The former England international also suggested that Bruno Fernandes should be deployed in a deeper midfield role, rather than his current attacking position. Hargreaves argued that Fernandes’ creativity and ability to dictate play from behind the forwards would benefit the team more than restricting him to a purely advanced role.

With Manchester United under pressure to improve their attacking efficiency in the English Premier League (EPL), the recommendation from Hargreaves has sparked discussions among fans and analysts about whether Amorim will take the bold step of restructuring his attacking setup.

Both Mbeumo and Sesko are seen as vital options in United’s forward line, but Hargreaves insists that playing Mbeumo centrally could bring a new dynamic to the team’s offensive approach. He emphasized that Amorim must find the right balance between maintaining squad depth and getting the best out of Fernandes, whose vision could unlock opposition defenses if allowed more freedom from midfield.

The tactical adjustments suggested could prove decisive in United’s quest to climb the EPL table and strengthen their attacking performance for the rest of the season.
