Bryan Mbeumo has described the way Ruben Amorim runs Manchester United as similar to the approach he knew under Thomas Frank, while conceding that his introduction to Old Trafford has been difficult.<\/p>\n
The summer recruit has had an unpredictable opening to life at United. He scored his first goal for the club in a humiliating Carabao Cup second-round exit to fourth-tier Grimsby Town. The Cameroon international was on target again in the club\u2019s only win of the season against Burnley, a result belatedly secured with a stoppage-time penalty from Bruno Fernandes.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s been tough,\u201d Mbeumo told Manchester United\u2019s YouTube channel while playing a game of chess. \u201cI was expecting a lot from here because it\u2019s a big club. It\u2019s a big everything.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m really happy with what happened to me here, the teammates, the staff, everyone in Carrington are lovely people,\u201d Mbeumo continued. \u201cYou really want to come in and work here every day, which is really good. When I first arrive somewhere I don\u2019t really know, I don\u2019t like to be loud or show myself a lot [be outgoing].\u201d<\/p>\n
Amorim, the former Sporting CP manager, played a central role in persuading the forward to move to United, and his public praise for Mbeumo appears to be reciprocated. Mbeumo drew a direct line between Amorim and Frank, the coach who guided his development at Brentford before taking over at Tottenham.<\/p>\n
\u201cI think I\u2019ve found some similarities because he always tries to do it in a fun way, and I think this is really important because it makes your life more enjoyable,\u201d he studiously noted.<\/p>\n
Challenges remain for both player and club. United face a demanding period in the schedule, travelling to the Etihad Stadium for the first Manchester derby of the season before hosting reigning world champions Chelsea the following weekend. How Mbeumo adapts under Amorim in the coming weeks will be watched closely.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
