Bryan Mbeumo has finally made his first appearance for Manchester United, and fans are already talking. The 25-year-old forward joined the Red Devils from Brentford in a big £71 million deal. His debut came during a pre-season game against Everton in Atlanta, where United drew 2-2.
Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim said Mbeumo made a “promising start,” but also pointed out that the player still needs time to get fully ready. “He played well,” Amorim said. “But he needs to understand his position better and get used to the movements we expect.”

In the game against Everton, Mbeumo played only the first 45 minutes. But in that short time, he showed signs of why United paid so much for him. He played up front alongside Bruno Fernandes and Matheus Cunha and moved across different attacking positions.
Mbeumo even took a few free-kicks, showing the coach already trusts him. One of his key moments was when he gave a quick pass to Amad, who then won a penalty. Bruno Fernandes scored from that penalty.

The Cameroon international had two quick shots that were blocked, almost scoring his first goal for the team. His energy and movement showed potential, but Amorim stressed that he’s still not fully fit. “You can see he’s not in perfect condition,” the manager added.
According to Amorim, Mbeumo’s running and one-touch passes opened a lot of space for other players. But the manager believes the forward still needs to learn the system and improve his positioning.
“He’s making a lot of runs and stretching the other team’s defense,” said Amorim. “That’s a good sign, but we want more from him.” The coach made it clear that Mbeumo has to keep learning fast if he wants to be a key player in the new season.
This match was part of the Premier League Summer Series in the U.S., and despite the draw, United were crowned winners of the tournament. Mbeumo’s debut added more excitement to what already looks like a strong pre-season campaign for United.
While Mbeumo is still settling in, Manchester United are not done with their summer plans. Reports suggest the club is trying to sign Benjamin Sesko from RB Leipzig. But they face strong competition from Newcastle.
At the same time, United are also trying to sell some players. Names like Antony and Jadon Sancho could be on the way out as Amorim shapes his final squad for the season.
Even with all this transfer talk, Ruben Amorim seems happy with what he has. “Of course, a team can always get better with new players,” he said. “But we already have enough to compete. I’m really happy with this squad.”
He believes that improving the way the team plays is more important than just signing new stars. “We have the potential to be better with the players we have. It’s all about working together as a team.”
Mbeumo’s arrival is a big step for Manchester United. The fans are hoping he becomes a key part of the squad. But for now, Amorim is asking for patience and hard work.
It’s clear that Mbeumo has the talent. Now he needs the fitness and understanding of the game plan to become one of the top players in the team.
Manchester United’s next few games will give Mbeumo more chances to show what he can do. The season is almost here, and expectations are high.
If Mbeumo keeps working hard and learning fast, he could be one of the surprise stars of the Premier League this season.
Ruben Amorim’s trust in him is a big boost, but the message is clear: talent alone is not enough. Mbeumo must earn his place and deliver results on the pitch.
