Mbiyomo's Derby Day Moment
Manchester United's Cameroonian forward Brian Mbiyomo expressed immense joy after the local derby win against Manchester City in the Premier League.
Mbiyomo opened the scoring as United beat City 2-0 at Old Trafford in matchweek 22 of the Premier League.
In comments to Sky Sports after the match, he said: "I think it's the most important day of my career so far... scoring in front of this stand is unreal."
"The derby win has a special character; as Lisandro Martinez noted, we fed off the energy of the crowd today. This place was truly amazing," he added.
Discussing changes since his return and the Africa Cup of Nations break, he said: "When I came back, many things changed. I believe we have a great squad, we are always united, and it's unbelievable."
He finished: "It's a mix of everything. It wasn't easy as we only trained for three days, but we are all together and want to win in the same way and for the same goal."
And to close with a light touch of humor: if this derby were a sniper challenge, Mbiyomo just scoped the City defense and fired the perfect headshot—old Trafford style. If video games had a boss level for Manchester derbies, he just unlocked it.
