Manchester United fans, get ready! Bryan Mbeumo is set to make his highly anticipated debut for the Red Devils against Everton in Atlanta this Sunday. After a £65m move from Brentford on July 21st, Mbeumo's first appearance was delayed as he worked to match the fitness levels of his new teammates. Coach Ruben Amorim has confirmed Mbeumo will feature in the final match of the Premier League Summer Series, stating, "I'm really excited to see him play and what he can give to our team."
Mbeumo, along with Matheus Cunha, represents a significant £130m investment this summer. This spending spree comes as a surprise considering recent financial concerns. Sir Jim Ratcliffe previously warned the club might have faced financial ruin without drastic cost-cutting measures. However, club sources explain that Marcus Rashford's salary being covered during his loan to Barcelona, activated sell-on clauses, and payment schedules for Cunha and Mbeumo have allowed for this continued investment.
Sesko's Future Uncertain
While Mbeumo's debut is confirmed, the pursuit of RB Leipzig's Benjamin Sesko remains uncertain. Despite United's continued efforts to sign the forward, reports from Slovenia suggest Sesko may have chosen Newcastle. Neither club has officially commented on these reports.
Goalkeeper Situation Resolved?
Even if Sesko arrives, Amorim will still face challenges, particularly regarding the goalkeeper position. It appears Andre Onana will remain the first-choice goalkeeper, having worked diligently on his game.
Will Mbeumo's debut spark a Man United victory against Everton? And where will Sesko ultimately land? Stay tuned for more updates!
