Mbeumo 'lighting' the way for Man Utd
- Published
Plenty has been said about Manchester United's transfer business in recent seasons, not much of it positive.
Clearly when they are spending upwards of £200m every summer, they need to start getting more deals right than wrong if they are to start climbing the Premier League in any meaningful sense.
To that end, Bryan Mbeumo's arrival feels like a positive.
He is not the loudest or demonstrative individual, certainly compared to fellow new arrival Matheus Cunha.
However, there is a quiet authority about Mbeumo. Ahead of the striker's return to Brentford, United head coach Ruben Amorim spoke about the "light" he brings to the dressing room.
That focus is going to be crucial in the weeks that lie ahead.
Two goals in six games does not represent a prolific start to Mbeumo's United career.
However, his contribution extends much further. If his first couple of months at the club are any guide, the £71m they might eventually end up paying for him will be money very well spent indeed.
