Mbeumo signed a contract until June 2030, with the option to extend for a further year. He arrived after a season where he scored 20 Premier League goals, the fourth highest in the league, and registered a further eight assists.

‘I always trust the process’

“Of course, it’s just like, again, a good answer for my choice,” he replied when asked by United Review, the official matchday programme, if this has vindicated his decision.

“Yeah, I always trust the process, trust in my team-mates, trust all the staff who bring me here and now, from Michael Carrick. Yeah, I’m really happy for what we have achieved and we just can’t wait to go again.”

‘They never stop cheering us’

On being accepted by United fans, he said: “Yeah, of course, being accepted by the fans is something that you always want.

“You are playing for yourself, for your family, for your friends, but also, and this is a big part, you play for the fans because, it was in every game that they are always behind us. They never stop cheering us. So yeah, being accepted from them is great for me.”

He concluded: “Yeah, to finish in the top three, it is a really good message and a really, really big performance from everyone.”

In the league, Mbeumo has managed 31 appearances, scored nine goals, and provided three assists.

Mbeumo earned his high-profile move to Man United following a standout 2024-25 season at Brentford, where he logged an incredible 27 goal involvements (20 goals and 7 assists).

Since joining United, he has continued to be a crucial fixture in the team’s starting eleven.
