Bryan Mbeumo vs EPL’s Best Left-Footed Right-Wingers: How He Compared to Saka, Salah, Foden, Kudus, Bowen & More in 2024/25

Manchester United has long been a playing ground for elite right-wingers, with legends gracing the flanks at Old Trafford. In recent years, the club made a high-profile move by signing Brazilian winger Antony from Ajax in a big-money transfer. However, the investment has yet to deliver the expected returns.

In this in-depth analysis, we shift the spotlight to Brentford’s Bryan Mbeumo and examine how his performances during the 2024/25 Premier League season compare statistically to some of the best left-footed right-wingers in the league. All of these players, except for West Ham’s Mohammed Kudus, scored more goals with their left foot than their right.

Our comparison includes an elite group of Premier League wingers: Mohammed Kudus and Jarrod Bowen (West Ham United), Amad Diallo (Manchester United), Mohamed Salah (Liverpool), Noni Madueke (Chelsea), Bukayo Saka (Arsenal), Pedro Neto (Chelsea), Phil Foden (Manchester City), and Savinho (Manchester City).

When it comes to availability and consistent minutes on the pitch, Bryan Mbeumo stood out as the most reliable right winger in the Premier League last season. The Brentford star played all 38 matches and logged 3,415 minutes — more than any other player in this comparison. Even Liverpool’s talisman Mohamed Salah, who also played 38 games, trailed Mbeumo by 38 minutes.

These two were the only right wingers among this elite group to surpass 3,000 minutes during the 2024/25 EPL campaign, underlining their exceptional durability and importance to their teams.

If Manchester United are on the lookout for a consistently fit and available right winger who can deliver week in, week out, Bryan Mbeumo fits that profile better than most in the league.

Bryan Mbeumo (Brentford) – 15
Jarrod Bowen (West Ham) – 12
Amad Diallo (Manchester United) – 8
Noni Madueke (Chelsea) – 7
Phil Foden (Manchester City) – 7
Mohammed Kudus (West Ham) – 5
Bukayo Saka (Arsenal) – 5
Pedro Neto (Chelsea) – 4

Critics may argue that penalties inflated Salah’s and Mbeumo’s goal tallies — but the numbers prove otherwise. Even without penalties, the two remained far ahead of the pack in non-penalty goals, reaffirming their ability to convert from open play.

Non-Penalty Goals per 90 Minutes

Mohamed Salah (Liverpool) – 0.6
Bryan Mbeumo (Brentford) – 0.4

Phil Foden (Manchester City) – 0.4
Pedro Neto (Chelsea) – 0.2
Mohammed Kudus (West Ham) – 0.2
Savinho (Manchester City) – 0.1

Mohamed Salah once again proved why he’s one of the most feared finishers in world football, leading with an outstanding 0.6 non-penalty goals per 90 minutes. This underlines that his goal-scoring form wasn’t simply down to penalties or minutes played — he was simply clinical.

Bryan Mbeumo posted an impressive 0.4 goals per 90, matching the output of top players from “bigger” clubs like Bukayo Saka, Phil Foden, and Jarrod Bowen. This shows that in terms of open play goal threat, Mbeumo belongs in elite company.

If Manchester United are planning a move for Bryan Mbeumo, they’ll be adding a forward whose goal-scoring efficiency rivals their own Amad Diallo. Both players registered 0.4 non-penalty goals per 90 minutes last season while operating on the right wing — a stat that promises intense competition and depth for Erik ten Hag’s attacking options.

Phil Foden followed closely with 2.8. At the other end, Mohammed Kudus was dispossessed most frequently, being tackled an average of 6.7 times per 90 — suggesting a tendency to hold onto the ball too long.

Mbeumo must work on reducing possession loss but shows elite timing in avoiding tackles. Discipline-wise, he remains composed compared to players like Amad Diallo and Pedro Neto.

If he can refine his possession control and passing under pressure, Mbeumo will become even more complete as a modern right winger.

Conclusion: Bryan Mbeumo – One of The Most Underrated Right-Winger in the Premier League?

Bryan Mbeumo’s 2024/25 Premier League season was outstanding, considering he was playing for Brentford and not a bigger team like Liverpool — a campaign that puts him statistically alongside, and in some areas ahead of, the league’s most high-profile left-footed right-wingers like Mohamed Salah, Bukayo Saka, Phil Foden, and Jarrod Bowen.

From scoring 20 goals (15 from open play) to leading the charts in shot accuracy (64.06%), Mbeumo proved to be a highly efficient finisher. His non-penalty goals per 90 stood toe-to-toe with big names, while his ability to contribute from both inside and outside the box showed incredible versatility in front of goal.

Creatively, Mbeumo was second only to Mohamed Salah in total chances created and stood out with the most crosses attempted among his peers. While he can still improve his crossing accuracy, his consistent delivery from wide areas highlights his threat in open play.

Defensively, he brought physical presence and work rate — leading in aerial duels contested and posting the highest ground duel success rate among all compared wingers. Although Amad Diallo edged him in interceptions and recoveries per 90, Mbeumo’s total defensive output was decent enough.

Even in passing and ball distribution, Mbeumo ranked second in total passes and first in long passes attempted — demonstrating his importance to Brentford’s build-up and transitional play, despite operating in a team with fewer possessions than the league’s top six.

Manchester United are eyeing one of the most complete and consistent wide players in the league — a winger who scores, creates, defends, and shows up in every game. In a side filled with elite finishers and better technical support, his output could rise even higher.

Bryan Mbeumo is not just keeping up with the elite — he’s outperforming many of them. The numbers don’t lie.
