After 44 days of long and fierce negotiations, Bryan Mbeumo (25) officially became a Manchester United player last week. The Red Devils spent € 75 million to attach the services of the player who was playing in Brentford. Above all, they managed to get ahead of competition, especially embodied by Tottenham. Discreet since his signature in the Mancunians, Mbeumo confided at length to the Telegraph This Tuesday. The opportunity for him to evoke his choice but also to return to his crazy transfer window. “No, I always trusted those around me and I was convinced that it would happen (that he would sign, editor's note). Transfer periods can be long, as short. So you have to be patient and try to keep a positive attitude. I was obviously on vacation, so I just wanted to rest mentally and physically, and if it had to happen, so much the better. Of course, I spoke to other managers to know their projects, but that of Manchester United was very good for me. I think I like challenges. There is a very nice project in Manchester and I wanted to be part of it. Manchester is a big club. I think it's an excellent opportunity. ”
He also discussed it with Ruben Amorim. “He said to me:” We like to win and we want to be the best team “. And of course, that's what we will try to do. The conversation was very friendly and constructive. He explained his project to me, what he wanted to do, and I really hung. ” Among the Red Devils, the recruit can count on his Cameroonian compatriot, André Onana. “I spoke to him and, yes, he wanted me to come. It's always nice to have someone like him by my side. ” Mbeumo is ready to give everything in his new colors. “I obviously played a winger mainly in Brentford, but I have no specific post where I feel most comfortable. In Brentford, I also played as number 10, or even number 9. I can play all these positions. I think that now, in football, you have to adapt and be able to play other positions than that which is considered to be the best. But I think it's really good to gain experience. Whatever the position that the coach confides to me, I will play there. My first goal is to be ready for the start of the season, so I will continue to work hard. I always want to be better than yesterday. I am very demanding towards myself and I always try to do my best. I don't like to set limits either. “ After speech, make way for the acts for the new MU player.
