Manchester United’s preparations for the new season are about the conclude, with Ruben Amorim all but finish assessing his squad and shape the team for the challenges ahead.
The Red Devils have been active in the transfer market, adding quality in key areas while ensuring depth across all positions.
Supporters are eager to see how the new arrivals will fit into Amorim’s system, especially in attack where versatility is often the difference between success and frustration.
Pre-season performances have provided a glimpse of the tactical flexibility the manager is seeking, with players adapting to different roles during matches.
The latest comments from one of United’s summer signings suggest he is more than willing to do exactly that.
Bryan Mbeumo, who arrived from Brenford this summer, has made it clear that he is happy to play wherever Amorim needs him.
Speaking to TNT Sports about his role in the team, the Cameroon international said: “I have no particular expectations.
“It’s up to the manager to decide.
“It’s important to be able to play in different positions, so I will play wherever I’m asked to play.”
Bryan Mbeumo arrives at Old Trafford with a reputation for being one of the Premier League’s most adaptable forwards.
At Brentford, he excelled mainly on the right wing, where he was able to cut inside and create scoring opportunities, but he also impressed when deployed as a centre-forward.
His pace, work rate, and ability to press high up the pitch make him an asset in multiple attacking positions.
For Amorim, this kind of flexibility is invaluable.
Manchester United’s attack has often been criticised for being predictable in recent seasons, but the addition of players like Mbeumo could help bring more unpredictability and dynamism.
Whether used out wide to stretch defences or through the middle to lead the line, Mbeumo’s willingness to adapt offers tactical options in games where adjustments are needed.
The manager now has another player who can fit into a variety of systems, allowing United to change shape without sacrificing quality.
As the season approaches, Mbeumo’s role will become clearer, but his attitude suggests he is ready to embrace any challenge Amorim sets for him.
