Mbeumo is Man United's second major signing in the summer transfer window after Matheus Cunha arrived early from Wolves.
The Cameroon star bagged 20 Premier League goals last season and is seen as one of the best attacking players in the Premier League.

The Red Devils scored 44 goals in the league last season, their worst return in the Premier League era. Mbeumo and Cunha scored 35 between them last campaign.
The former Brentford star will undoubtedly enhance Manchester United's attack, and his link-up with Bruno Fernandes, Amad Diallo, and Joshua Zirkzee could further strengthen their attack.
How did Man United fans react to Mbeumo's arrival?
@dan_norseman:
"Always love it when a player actually wants to be here. Fee’s big, but if he brings intensity and end product, no one’s complaining in six months."
@Adebay0r__:
"Joining your Boyhood club is such a great feeling."
@QH_2374:
"Great signing. And the correct price. Not paying silly money and over paying £65m is spot on for him coming off 20pl goals season, goin into prime."

@ARKhan7_:
"Attack was a key area to strengthen. The addition of Cunha and Mbuemo, two proven PL players, is an essential coup to bolster the attack. Still need a ST though as well as a GK and CM option."
@onelove1878:
I like this👍Targeting PL established & proven players should be priority no.1 for long term transfer planning. Supplement them with academy grads & potential outliners/stars that play outside the PL. This alone, imo, will guarantee better recruitment/long term planning.
Who convinced Mbeumo to join Man United?
In an interview with Man United great Rio Ferdinand, Mbeumo, said defender Leny Yoro was one of the players who convinced him to join the Red Devils.
"I just met, yeah, Lenny on holiday, so, yeah, obviously, he knew there was some rumours for me, for United." Mbeumo said. "He told me it would be good if I came, I was saying I hope so as well."
Mbeumo played with goalkeeper Andre Onana for the Cameroon national team.
"Fortunately for me, I knew Andre (Onana) and Leny, so I think it was nice to know at least some guys before and now I joined the summer tour I think it's really good to get to know everyone here, because you spend 24 hours a day with them, so I think it's really important."
Manchester United boss Ruben Amorim stated that the forward could make his debut against Everton in their final game of the USA tour.
Why did Bryan Mbeumo miss friendly?
