Gary Neville has expressed concern over Bryan Mbeumo's fitness after the forward was seen shaking his head and speaking with Diogo Dalot during Manchester United's 3-1 win over Aston Villa at Old Trafford. Mbeumo was substituted in the second half, with Benjamin Sesko replacing him and scoring United's third goal.
Neville, working as a co-commentator for Sky Sports, noted Mbeumo's body language as he left the pitch. 'Is he injured? Is he limping, Mbeumo? He was shaking his head when he walked off and looked at one of the United players as if he might be carrying something,' Neville said.
Mbeumo has been substituted in each of United's previous three matches, and this was the fourth time in five games he has been taken off. The forward has not scored in his last five Premier League appearances, though he has been a key performer for the side this season.
United's next fixture is on Friday against Bournemouth, followed by the international break. If Mbeumo misses the match, he would have two weeks to recover before United's next game on 13 April.
The victory strengthened United's hold on a Champions League spot, with the team now third in the table, three points clear of fifth place.
