The 25-year-old has joined the Red Devils for a reported £71m fee after hearing about their project and Amorim’s vision for the club

The Red Devils are now in the market to sign a defensive midfielder and an outright striker to play up front. After more or less improving the attack, Ruben Amorim is keen to reinforce the midfield, and therefore, United are monitoring a few players who can replace Casemiro.

Amorim will hope he can bring the buccaneer spirit he showed at Brentford to United. “We had in our heads that we could win every game,” Mbeumo says. “So we just try to not be scared of the names in their team and then we just try to play.” The only time Mbeumo does get nervous is when playing the piano, his other cerebral hobby.
