Manchester United Players on Amorim's System: The Problem Is Not Tactics.
According to The Sun: Bryan Mbeumo called on Manchester United players to take responsibility for poor results instead of solely blaming the coaching staff.
The team’s 3-1 defeat to Brentford increased pressure on Ruben Amorim ahead of the home match against Sunderland.

Old Trafford legend Wayne Rooney expressed doubts about Amorim's ability to restore the 'broken' club, which he said 'doesn't deserve to wear this shirt.'
Mbeumo, who joined Brentford for £71 million, acknowledged that players 'must perform better,' as they have only gained seven points in six matches and were eliminated from the Carabao Cup on penalties by Grimsby.
He emphasized that blaming the coach solely for using a 3-4-3 formation is not the solution, as improvement needs to happen in all aspects of the game.
Mbeumo said: “Everyone in the team must take responsibility. When you play for a club of this stature, everyone must know what to do — as a team, we must play better.”
“This is somewhat of a new experience for me, but I have played in this system before. We have many nuances, but it is up to us to find strengths and improve,” he added.
Experts and fans have sharply criticized United as the team finished 15th in the Premier League last season.

Mbeumo also highlighted: “It’s not the same anymore, but we need to focus on ourselves and what’s happening within the team.”
“It’s easy to ignore external challenges. The key is not to spend too much time on social media but to focus on your game.”
Ruben Amorim has spent £207.5 million on attacking reinforcements in the summer, bringing in Mbeumo, Matheus Cunha, and Benjamin Sesko.
Recently, they debuted together over the weekend in West London, and Mbeumo noted that they need more time to adjust to each other.
He told Sky Sports: “It’s exciting because we are learning to play with new players, and it’s always a challenge, but that’s what we love as footballers.”
“Of course, everything will improve. We haven’t played together much yet, so some moments need refinement.”
“Players have different styles, but working with them is a great pleasure.”
