Bryan Mbeumo has revealed the mastermind behind Manchester United’s clever corner routine that allowed him to open the scoring in a 2-0 victory over Tottenham. The Red Devils broke the deadlock from a set-piece situation, with Bruno Fernandes and Kobbie Mainoo also involved. Jonny Evans, who now works alongside interim head coach Michael Carrick, helped to devise the plan.United were gifted the upper-hand in their Premier League home date with Spurs at Old Trafford when Cristian Romero was dismissed inside half-an-hour for a reckless challenge on Casemiro that saw the Brazilian midfielder caught on the ankle.It did not take long for the Red Devils to make their numerical advantage count, with Mbeumo firing them in front in the 34th minute. Club captain Fernandes fired a low corner into the feet of Mainoo, as he ran beyond the front post, and the England international turned the ball into the path of Mbeumo. His first-time shot was rolled into the bottom corner of the net.Carrick was seen smiling in the direction of his bench after the goal went in, with Cameroon international forward Mbeumo telling reporters when asked how the routine came about: “It was the coach who wanted to practice this in training. We did it once, it didn't work out, but this one was the most important.”He added when asked if Carrick was responsible, or a member of his backroom staff: “It was Jonny Evans who was coming to me and the guys.” Kaita Hasegawa is also being credited with offering a helping hand.Carrick told TNT Sports when asked about the corner in question, with Hasegawa one of his first-team analysts: “Yeah, it was Jonny, he has had his eye on set-plays, Jonny Evans, and Kaita, the analyst. So it's great when things come off. Obviously, we've all got different ideas but the lads carried it off great. Bruno, Kobbie and Bryan put it away, so we're delighted with that.”Carrick went on to say at his post-match press conference, with former United defender Evans back at Old Trafford in a coaching capacity: “I wouldn't say he's the set-piece coach, Jonny, but he's got an eye on it as well as we all have.“Jonny has been doing a lot of work with the players and got the rewards for that, so we're delighted. We go into every game with some ideas and when you see it come off as good as that, and as important as that, it was the first goal and massive. It shows how important they can be.”Looking for smarter football bets? Get expert previews, data-driven predictions & winning insights with GOAL Tips on Telegram.
