So tired! Manchester United’s top scorer was deeply affected and faced three national team challenges in half a year

This week begins with the national team match day. Teams that have qualified for the World Cup in advance may have an easier time and only need to participate in friendly matches. However, teams that have not advanced yet will face a major test. This is especially true for Manchester United's top scorer. Within half a year, the three major national team competitions may have a big impact.

Currently, Manchester United's top scorer has changed from captain Bruno to new aid Mbemo. He has scored 5 goals in the Premier League and 1 goal in the League Cup. He is an important scoring point for Manchester United. I believe many fans will agree that Mbemo's transfer is worth the money. It not only brings ball holding and breakthroughs to the frontcourt, but also scores. The right corridor formed by Diallo begins to show its powerful power.

However, Mbemo will soon face three major challenges from the national team in just six months.

First of all, starting this week, the play-offs for the African region of the World Cup will begin. Mbemo's Cameroon will face the Democratic Republic of the Congo in the semi-finals. If it wins, there will be a final against the winners of Nigeria and Gabon. The team that wins the final will qualify for the World Cup intercontinental play-offs to be held in March next year.

The World Cup intercontinental play-offs are composed of 6 teams. Two teams, New Caledonia and Bolivia, have been confirmed. In addition, Africa and Asia will each produce a team in a few days. Central and North America will also produce the last two teams next week. According to the rules, the four teams with lower international rankings need to compete in a round first, and the two winning teams compete with the two teams with higher rankings to compete for two World Cup places.

If Cameroon can stand out in the African play-offs, it can participate in the intercontinental play-offs next March. According to the current ranking situation, Cameroon has a good chance of becoming one of the two higher-ranked teams and only needs to participate in one game. Regardless of one game or two games, Cameroon must first break through from the African zone, and then Mbemo will face the second test of the intercontinental play-offs.

In addition to the World Cup, Mbemo will definitely participate in the African Cup of Nations starting in mid-to-late December. According to the rules, the third place in the group also has a great chance of advancing to the knockout rounds, which means that Cameroon, which is not weak, will not be too difficult to advance to the top 16. Mbemo's time to stay in the national team will be greatly increased, and he may have to miss seven or eight Manchester United games.

The reason why Cameroon was unable to directly qualify for the World Cup and fell into the play-offs has a lot to do with a small loss to Cape Verde at home two months ago. Before the game, Cameroon was 1 point behind their opponents, but a 4-1 victory over their opponents in the first round obviously brought a considerable psychological advantage. Unfortunately, Manchester United's potential new signing Baleba had the ball intercepted in midfield. The Cape Verdean player easily got a great opportunity to face Onana and scored the only goal of the game. After Cameroon's defeat, they were 4 points behind their opponents with the remaining 2 games, and their hopes of going straight to the World Cup were suddenly dashed.

Mbemo is an indispensable and important core player for Manchester United. It will be really tiring if he has to shoulder three important tasks for the national team this season. There is not much time to rest and adjust, and I believe it will definitely have a big impact on the club.

Of course, if Cameroon loses in the first play-off game this week, the World Cup journey will end early, and there will be no need to prepare for the intercontinental play-offs next March. It is even said that if Cameroon performs poorly and is eliminated from the African Cup of Nations group stage, Mbemo can return to Manchester United soon.

However, I believe these situations are not what Mbemo wants to see. Fans also hope to see them perform better in the national team and strive for greater honors. Whether Mbemo will continue to fight next March and how far he can lead Cameroon will soon be known.
