Rookie Bryan Mbeumo has just given an interview with the Daily Mail newspaper. In particular, he shared the first time why he refused many teams to choose to join MU.
As is known, MU successfully recruited striker Bryan Mbeumo from Brentford Club with a transfer price of 71 million pounds. Not long ago, the Cameroon star signed a 5 -year contract with the Manchester team. At Old Trafford next season, he will wear the number 19 – the previous number of midfielder Raphael Varane. To get Mbeumo, MU defeated many competitors, including Newcastle and Tottenham.
Bryan Mbeumo revealed the reason he decided to choose MU: “I talked to the coach of some teams pursuing me right after the 2024/25 season closed, before making a final decision. Among them, I was most impressed with Mr. Ruben Amorim. His stories, but his plan convinced me completely.
According to Bryan Mbeumo, coach Ruben Amorim is very good at persuading others: “I have exchanged with him for an hour by phone. Ruben Amorim talks very attractive. He does not hesitate to tell me about the difficulties of the team, and he also expresses his strong belief in his project at MU.
MU has undergone a tense and lasting negotiation for 44 days with Brentford to get the signature of Bryan Mbeumo. It is a process that can make many players feel frustrated, but with the Cameroon player. He confided: “It is important that I was determined to choose MU from the beginning. I am not easy to give up the set goals, so I followed this to the end. At one point, I even had to put pressure on Brentford's leader so that they could speed up the negotiation process with MU.”
“Old Trafford is a great stage that any player wants to play there. I am no exception. The Cameroon striker added: “When talking to me, Mr. Ruben Amorim said that MU is the collective of the players who are rich in the desire to conquer and they all want the team to become the strongest. It is also what we will look forward to next season.”
After joining MU, Bryan Mbeumo may take on the role of one of the two “number 10” in Ruben Amorim's 3-4-2-1 tactics. Referring to this issue, the Cameroon striker said: “I mainly play in the role of a winger. But I'm confident that I can adapt to every position on the pitch.
