Bryan Mbeumo reveals what Ruben Amorim is doing in training to lead Man United back to glory

Bryan Mbeumo returns to former club Brentford on Saturday and he is convinced Manchester United boss Ruben Amorim has the right approach to make the team successful once again.

Bryan Mbeumo says Ruben Amorim's “intense” training sessions and the demands he puts on his players can lead Manchester United back to the top.

Mbeumo, a £71million summer signing, returns to Brentford tomorrow for the first time since making the switch and has made an immediate impact for United, winning their Player of the Month award for August.

Cameroon international Mbeumo has scored twice for United, started every Premier League game and is almost certain to be named in Amorim's starting line-up for the game against his former club, which sees Amorim aiming to win back-to-back Premier League games for the first time.

Asked how he has found working with Amorim, compared to former boss Thomas Frank, Mbeumo said: “Really good. I've found some similarities between them. He always tries to do training in a fun way and I think this is really important – to get some fun at football – because it makes life more enjoyable.

“A new manager is a challenge for me. The training sessions are intense. He wants us to do a lot, do big efforts, and that can only help us to be ready on the pitch. I like it.

“I think it's important to improve and get better each day I'm here, and that's what I always do. With time, the team can be better and we're going to work really hard for that. We know we're in a difficult moment, but we just need to stick together.

“They [the United players] have welcomed me straight away. They're a big part of it. Changing city or club always needs a bit of time, but everyone helped me a lot.

“When I first arrive somewhere, I don't like to be loud or show myself a lot, but I can go with people well and now that's what I've done. It's been great. It's a big club – everything about it – and I'm really happy.

“The teammates and staff and everyone at Carrington are lovely people, so you really want to come and work here every day. So it's really good.”

Mbeumo joined Brentford from French club Troyes in 2019 and admitted it took him to time to adjust to the change of culture as well as the differences on the pitch in terms of the playing style.

“The culture is obviously different, so it was a big change, and the food as well!” said Mbeumo. “It's so different. The language as well, even though I could speak a little bit of English before.

“But especially the food. The porridge was different. I'd never had it before I came here. Do I have it every morning now? No!

“I would say Ligue Two is more tactical than the Championship. But the Championship is more physical and with intensity. And the same with England in general. In the Premier League, there are more intense games than in the French league.”
