Bryan Mbuemo wanted by Serie A giants in summer

Bryan Mbeumo has completely transformed Ruben Amorim’s Manchester United attack, bringing poise, precision, and a much-needed clinical edge to the front line.

Since signing from Brentford in the summer, the left-footed Cameroonian winger has proven to be a revelation on the right flank, adding balance and flair to United’s forward play.

His start to life at Old Trafford wasn’t easy, as he initially struggled to adapt to Amorim’s tactical demands and the pressure that came with his hefty price tag.

However, the 26-year-old has since found his rhythm and become an integral part of the team’s resurgence, firmly establishing himself as the go-to man on the right wing.

In recent weeks, Mbeumo has been in exceptional form, contributing vital goals and assists that have helped Manchester United climb up the Premier League table.

He has repaid Amorim’s faith with consistent performances, recording six goal contributions in 12 appearances so far this season.

His performances in October earned him the EA SPORTS Premier League Player of the Month award.

The winger has made no secret of his love for the club, openly admitting that joining Manchester United was one of his lifelong dreams.

He completed his move from Brentford in July and signed a contract that runs until June 30, 2030, with an option for a one-year extension.

However, his journey to Old Trafford could have taken a very different turn last summer.

According to reports from SportItalia, Napoli were among the clubs pushing hard to secure his signature, as new manager Antonio Conte identified him as a key transfer target.

The Italian side, fresh from signing Kevin De Bruyne from Manchester City, hoped to lure Mbeumo to Serie A to strengthen their attacking options.

Ultimately, United’s financial power and global stature made the difference, ensuring the Cameroonian’s arrival in England’s northwest.

Since then, Mbeumo has flourished under Amorim’s guidance, quickly becoming one of Manchester United’s most valuable and consistent performers.

His pace, creativity, and composure in front of goal have made him indispensable to the team’s attacking setup.

For Napoli, the winger remains nothing more than a missed opportunity—a dream that never materialised—while in Manchester, Mbeumo continues to thrive and live his own.
