Manchester United have some very special footballers currently in Ruben Amorim’s squad, which is a pretty substantial upgrade on previous years.
For years, Bruno Fernandes has been Manchester United’s lone bright spot, frequently making the team appear to be a one-man show.
Fernandes emphasized that point last season when he earned player of the year for the fourth time in his five seasons with the team.
He does, however, have some assistance this season in that he can gain points because United spent over £200 million on a fantastic new front line.
We have yet to witness more than thirty minutes of the excellent trio of Bryan Mbeumo, Matheus Cunha, and front-runner Benjamin Sesko.
Despite the sad loss to Arsenal last weekend, Cunha and Mbeumo both enjoyed outstanding debuts for United. However, there were enough indications to believe that both will be future club stars.
Now, their comrades, notably Kobbie Mainoo, have praised the newcomers.
Kobbie Mainoo gives first impression on Bryan Mbeumo at Manchester United
At United, Mbeumo and Cunha have both had successful off-field debuts and gained popularity in the locker room.
Cunha has been praised by Matthijs de Ligt. Casemiro, meantime, has extolled Cunha’s virtues in every way.
Cunha’s wizardry on the field has also been complimented by Harry Maguire, but Mbeumo has also received acclaim from his new teammates.
Mbeumo’s teammates were asked to post their thoughts about him on the club website, and Mainoo had some intriguing answers.
“Seeing what he’s done over the last few seasons, the amount of goals he scores and the quality he has, to bring him here I was always excited to see that”, the United midfielder explained.
“Really quick, really strong and with a great touch as well. It’s been amazing playing with him after the season he had – lots of goals, lots of assists so he’ll bring something special and unique to the team.”
Roy Keane’s prediction of Mbeumo’s success at United is the ultimate compliment, and the Cameroonian won’t get much greater support than that.
What other Manchester United players said about Mbeumo
Mainoo wasn’t alone in his praise of Mbeumo, with several players giving words of praise to their new teammate.
Ayden Heaven: “He’s a great player obviously, left-footed and he’s got a couple of tricks up his sleeve if I’m being honest. He’s just like Cunha, I’m really excited to see what he can bring to us and the team. He scored a lot of goals and that can help in our team, scoring more, so bringing that as well. With Bryan, that puts us in the best place.”
Diego Leon: “Bryan I’m only just seeing recently, but what I’ve seen has surprised me: the technical ability with the ball, and he’s a phenomenal player.”
Casemiro: “Well, Bryan! He gave us a lot of trouble in his previous team, Brentford. I hope he’ll continue to do the same work to other teams! We know him from how it is to play against him, and I think he’s adapted [here] now. You can tell that he’s a very good player. But as I said, always, always, when we played against him, he gave us so much trouble. He gave us so many problems. We had to fight very hard against him so his quality now is no surprise for us.”
Tyler Fredricson: “He’s a really strong player, really fast and good in the box. Once you get to know him, he’s a bit louder than everyone makes out. Again, he’s a top guy and very funny as well. He’s maybe a bit quieter than Matheus, but he’s just a really nice, down-to-earth guy who gets along with everyone. He can deliver great balls into the box, as we know from what he’s done in the past. He’s a great player and can provide us with a lot this season.”
Mbeumo and Cunha together may be the best partnership in the league once it fully clicks, and we cannot wait to see how they good they can become together.
