Mbeumo on chess, playing the piano and football heroes

Bryan Mbeumo has spoken to Manchester United's club media following his £65m arrival from Brentford.

There are a couple of interesting snippets, one of which makes me feel very old - and it is not this one, where he explains why he enjoys playing the piano and his new-found love for chess.

"I really discovered it (piano) a few years ago, a friend was playing and I wanted to try," he said.

"With chess, I played a little bit when I was younger. Two or three years ago, I started playing again and I really enjoyed it.

"I play online. I have a board at home but I have nobody to play with."

The sobering comments relate to his footballing idols when he was a kid.

His first ones are both still playing.

"I grew up in a small town, where everyone knew each other," he said. "My first top was Manchester United with Ronaldo behind.

"My favourite players changed with time. When I was really young, my two best footballers were Lionel Messi and Ronaldo. When I was growing up, Neymar. After that it was Eden Hazard."
