Manchester United’s summer rebuild under Ruben Amorim continues to take shape, with the club pressing ahead in the transfer market after several high-profile exits.
The pre-season tour has given fans a glimpse of what to expect from the new-look squad, with fresh tactical tweaks and young players earning chances to impress.
United’s transfer business has shifted focus towards mobility and versatility, with players capable of operating at high intensity across multiple positions.
The addition of Bryan Mbeumo has sparked excitement among supporters eager to see how the former Brentford attacker fits into Amorim’s system.
Now, Bryan Mbeumo has sent a message to United fans — and potential defenders — in an exclusive interview with Rio Ferdinand on his YouTube channel Rio Ferdinand Presents.
Speaking to the former United defender, Mbeumo revealed the three traits he believes define him as a player.
Ferdinand asked, “What would you say are your three main attributes that stand out?”
Without hesitation, Mbeumo responded: “I would say pace, first touch and finishing.”
His words reflect not only his confidence but also his clear understanding of what he brings to the table at Old Trafford.
With Amorim keen to inject more directness and sharpness into United’s front line, Mbeumo’s strengths seem tailor-made for the Portuguese manager’s philosophy.
Mbeumo has already trained with his new teammates and could feature in upcoming friendlies as United ramp up preparations for the 2025/26 campaign.
He arrives with a strong reputation from his time at Brentford, where he developed into one of the Premier League’s most consistent forwards, known for his movement, work rate and goal threat.
United fans will hope his attributes translate into goals and assists as the Red Devils aim to bounce back stronger this season.
If Mbeumo lives up to his own assessment, the Theatre of Dreams may soon have a new fan favourite lighting up the wings.
