Manchester United achieved a 2-1 victory against West Ham United during their pre-season tour, highlighted by Bruno Fernandes scoring both goals. Fans were curious about the absence of new signing Bryan Mbeumo from the matchday squad after his transfer from Brentford. Head coach Ruben Amorim explained that Mbeumo is "starting slowly" and is not yet at full match fitness, clarifying that he is not injured. Mbeumo has resumed training but is behind in fitness compared to teammates, and his participation in the next match against Bournemouth is ruled out.
"Bryan is starting slowly," said Amorim after the West Ham win. "He is not going to play in the next one. We hope to have Bryan in the last game [in the United States]. He's training now, so we'll see."
Despite warming up with the right momentum, Man United fans were left puzzled by the absence of new signing Bryan Mbeumo from the matchday squad.
Mbeumo has returned to training, but he is lagging behind the other members of the team in terms of fitness.
Mbeumo had a stellar season in the Premier League last term as he netted 20 league goals, the fourth highest in the top flight, and registered eight assists.
