Bryan Mbeumo has yet to make his debut for Manchester United, but the prospect of adding him into an improving attack is very exciting.
Ruben Amorim will be quietly impressed by the improvements made by Manchester United this summer in an attacking nature.
United beat West Ham 2-1 last weekend, a result that didn’t do Amorim’s Red Devils justice considering the amount of opportunities that the forwards had to score.
Matheus Cunha and Bruno Fernandes are already forming a pretty devastating partnership which looks like it could win games for the club single-handedly, but Bryan Mbeumo is yet to be added to the mix.
Mbeumo will offer Amorim a nice problem to have in that there will almost be a surplus of creative goalscorers, but this will be something that United will not be saddened by considering last season was the complete opposite.
Now, Mbeumo has been asked about his new teammates and which player he is most excited to play with.
Bryan Mbeumo picks out Bruno Fernandes for praise
This summer, United’s attacking quality has already been transformed, with two signings who scored a combined 35 goals in the Premier League last season, which is nine less than the entirety of Amorim’s squad managed.
Mbeumo is expected to make his debut next weekend against Everton in the summer series, with fans extremely excited to watch how he fits into the team.
Now, speaking with Rio Ferdinand on his YouTube channel, Mbeumo has revealed which player he is most excited to be on the pitch alongside.
“Of course Bruno, everybody can see the past years he is really good. He can shoot, he can cross, he can play crazy balls as well. As a striker, you enjoy that.
“I think it is a little bit of everything, it’s always good to speak to someone like this, but on the pitch when you are smart like he is, you don’t need to think a lot, if you are running he is going to play it into the right space every time.
“But you can have little discussions to let him know how I prefer the balls and how I feel the best to have the ball.”
Mbeumo picking the club captain is no surprise, with Cunha also selecting Fernandes as the player he was most excited to play with, which just showcases how vital Fernandes is for the club.
Bruno Fernandes is absolutely priceless for Manchester United
With United struggling for finances this summer, many have suggested that not selling Fernandes was a mistake from the club, however, this couldn’t be further from the truth.
Without Fernandes, this summer’s two big signings would have lost the player they were most excited to play alongside, which may have ended up a factor in the decision making of Mbeumo for example.
As much as he only wanted to join United, neither player would want to join if they anticipated another year of finishing 15th in the league and without the brilliance of Fernandes, last season would have been even worse.
Retaining Fernandes this summer will end up looking like a great decision, even if it’s just one last year.
This season could see him put up some incredible assist numbers.
