Mbeumo to make Man Utd debut in Everton friendly

Bryan Mbeumo will make his debut for Manchester United against Everton on Saturday in Atlanta, but uncertainty surrounds the club’s pursuit of RB Leipzig frontman Benjamin Sesko.

Mbeumo and Matheus Cunha are both members of United’ £130 million summer investment, but his first appearance was postponed because Brentford’s pre-season training began a week after Ruben Amorim’s squad, despite the fact that he was not yet on the same level of fitness as his new team-mates.

When asked if Mbeumo would play against Everton in the final game of the three-game Premier League Summer Series, Amorim said, “he is going to play.”

Given that minority owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe predicted the club might have “gone bust by Christmas” without the significant cost reductions, United’s overall summer spending is surprising.

According to club sources, Marcus Rashford’s £325, 000 salary was fully covered during his loan spell at Barcelona, various sell-on clauses that were activated this summer, and the payment schedules that were put in place with Wolves and Brentford following Cunha and Mbeumo’s arrivals, all of which are just as valid as reasons why they can still spend.

On Friday, United sources reported that Sesko’s attempts were going on.

However, later reports emerged in the forward’s native Slovenia claiming that he had chosen to join Newcastle. On the most recent reports, neither club has officially commented.

Even if Sesko did decide to increase the club’s overall spending to about $ 200 million, Amorim will still face issues, most notably the goalkeeper.

Andre Onana will likely continue to be Amorim’s first choice, in the interim.

After suffering a hamstring injury on his second day of pre-season training, the Cameroon international has been working hard to improve his fitness in the United States.

Although it’s unlikely that he will play against Everton, Onana could play a part in the final friendly at Old Trafford, where former United keeper David de Gea and former United keeper David de Gea will play.

We constantly strive to improve the team, and we have some traits we want. However, sales and the market are both important factors, Amorim said.
