Manchester United may be stumbling at the start of the season, but one of their newest signings, Bryan Mbeumo, has made it clear he’s fully behind Ruben Amorim’s vision. The forward, who arrived from Brentford for £71 million this summer, has admitted that while results haven’t been convincing, he believes the coach’s demanding style will eventually turn things around.
For Mbeumo, the transition to Old Trafford has been about more than just pulling on a new shirt. He’s had to adjust to Amorim’s relentless training sessions, which are structured to push players to their physical and mental limits. The Cameroonian international describes the workouts as “intense,” but insists that this type of pressure is exactly what the squad needs if they’re to rise back to the top of English football.
“Every day is a challenge,” Mbeumo admitted. “The manager asks us to give everything, and even though it’s hard work, I know it’s making me better. It’s about consistency, and I trust this will pay off for the team in the long run.”
Amorim’s tactical system, which often requires players to contribute in unfamiliar roles, has been a sticking point for critics. Yet Mbeumo’s commitment highlights how the players themselves are buying into the philosophy—even if the early results haven’t reflected that effort. For him, sticking together and pushing through the rough patches is the only way forward.
Away from tactics and training, Mbeumo has been navigating the realities of life as a United player. Moving from Brentford, where he was a standout figure, to one of the world’s most scrutinized clubs has brought new pressures. But according to the winger, his teammates and staff at Carrington have gone out of their way to help him feel at home.
“From the first day, everyone welcomed me,” he said. “I’m not the type to walk in and make a lot of noise, but little by little I’ve built connections. Now I feel like part of the group, and that’s so important when you move clubs.”
For all the talk around United’s shaky form, Mbeumo’s comments underscore a wider truth: success under Amorim won’t come overnight. The team has spent heavily in the transfer market, yet questions remain about confidence, mentality, and how quickly new arrivals can blend into the squad.
Mbeumo’s perspective suggests that within the dressing room, the focus isn’t on panic but on patience. “We know it’s tough right now, but we’re working hard and we’re going to stick together,” he emphasized. “That’s the only way.”
