Bryan Mbeumo, Manchester United's newest acquisition from Brentford, has expressed his excitement about the prospect of playing alongside Bruno Fernandes. The Cameroon winger, who recently finalized his move to Old Trafford, is eager to link up with the PortugueseMagnifico and contribute to the team's attacking prowess.
Mbeumo, who scored an impressive 20 goals and provided 7 assists for Brentford in the Premier League last season, signed a five-year contract with Manchester United last week. The 23-year-old's arrival is expected to bolster United's attacking options and provide a different dimension to their play.
In his first interview as a Manchester United player, Mbeumo spoke of his admiration for Bruno Fernandes and his anticipation of playing alongside him. He described Fernandes as a "smart" player with the ability to produce moments of brilliance. "He can do crazy ball," Mbeumo said, highlighting Fernandes' creativity and flair. He also acknowledged the balance between adhering to tactical instructions and having the freedom to make instinctive decisions in the final third, suggesting he's ready to adapt to Erik Ten Hag's system while still expressing his individual talent.
Mbeumo's enthusiasm is matched by the excitement surrounding his potential partnership with Fernandes. Fernandes, who has turned down lucrative offers from Saudi Arabia to remain at Old Trafford, is seen as a key figure in United's rebuild. His vision, passing range, and goal-scoring ability make him one of the Premier League's most dangerous attacking midfielders. The prospect of him linking up with Mbeumo, who is known for his pace, dribbling skills, and eye for goal, has fans eagerly anticipating the new season.
Gary Neville has also weighed in on Mbeumo's arrival, suggesting that Mbeumo and Cunha are the "right type" of players to solve United's problems. He emphasized their Premier League experience as a significant advantage, suggesting they can seamlessly integrate into the team and make an immediate impact.
Mbeumo's decision to join Manchester United, despite interest from other top clubs, is a positive sign for the club's ambitions. His desire to play at Old Trafford and link up with players like Fernandes demonstrates his belief in the club's project and his commitment to helping them return to the top of English football.
Rio Ferdinand met with Mbeumo while he was on tour in the United States, to welcome him to the club. This shows how the club uses its former players to help new signings settle in. Only Mohamed Salah accumulated more points for his team through goals and assists than Mbeumo, proving that he can decide games when it matters.
