Former Manchester United favourite praises €75m summer ‘masterstroke’

“Mbeumo’s move to Manchester United is not only a masterstroke, but also a major move for the transfer window. For me, he’s one of the top five strikers in the league right now.

He can score all sorts of goals, both inside and outside the box; he has that striking ability, and he’s proven it. He’s also capable of creating and setting up goals for other players. Bryan improves his team while remaining versatile in attack.

His arrival, along with that of Matheus Cunha, will relieve Bruno Fernandes of the burden he’s carried in recent seasons. Bryan also offers Ruben Amorim plenty of options thanks to his versatility. Therefore, for me, he’s a major signing for them.”

The special thing about Bryan Mbeumo is not just scoring goals, but his overall presence. He scores goals from inside the box as well as from outside, and also creates chances for his teammates. Ruben Amorim now has a player who can fit in any position in his system – be it on the wing, in the centre or as a second striker. Meanwhile, Neil Warnock questioned whether Bryan Mbeumo is ready to handle the pressure at Manchester United.

Manchester United have nothing to fear

As Manchester United fans, we completely agree with Quinton Fortune. Signing Bryan Mbeumo is a true masterstroke. He is 25 years old and has reached the prime phase of his career. The 20 goals and nine assists he recorded for Brentford last season show that he is not just showing promise but also performance.

In Ruben Amorim’s 3-4-2-1 system, a player like Bryan is a must. The creative pressure on Bruno Fernandes will now be reduced. If Bryan plays as a second striker, he can help link up with Bruno or Cunha. If Amorim puts him on the wing, he can create space and stretch the defence. The pairing of Cunha and Mbeumo can give this team the edge that has been missing for the last few seasons. This time, hopefully, we won’t just bounce back; we will bring fear back to the competition.
