The Cameroonian striker joined Manchester United from Brentford in the recent transfer window, but was criticized by Manchester United fans after a friendly match against Everton.

Obviously, there are many reasons why Alejandro Garnacho cannot continue to stay at Manchester United. After a season of alternating main position and absence, coupled with a tense relationship with Ruben Amorin, the Argentine player was unable to stay at Old Trafford. However, another important reason for Garnacho's departure is the arrival of Brian Mbeumo - the Brentford striker joined Manchester United for €82 million in this transfer window. Despite expectations for his appearance, Manchester United fans accused the Cameroonian striker of his physical condition in the preseason.

Bryan Mbeumo's debut with the controversial Manchester United in Europe, after an extremely long season, most of the top teams' vacations have been shortened, and now they're just starting to warm up. In this case, Manchester United played a friendly match with Everton at the Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta, USA, and ended up with a 2-2 draw. Putting aside the game itself, the focus undoubtedly falls on African striker Brian Mbeumo, who joined Manchester United this time.

After a great season at Brentford – he scored 20 goals and ranked fifth in the Premier League scorer list, behind Mohammed Salah, Alexander Isaac, Ellin Haaland and Chris Wood – the Cameroonian striker was signed by the Red Devils and Manchester United paid €82 million for his transfer. In addition, the African player has become the sixth most expensive signing in club history.

Amorin: "The physical condition has not been met yet"

Despite being the starter in Manchester United's debut, Brian Mbeumo's physical condition early in the preseason has been severely criticized on social media.

In fact, after this draw in the United States, it was Manchester United coach Ruben Amorin who said the Cameroonian player needed to improve his physical condition before the start of the season. "He played well. Of course, he needs improvement in many aspects. His physical condition has not met, but that's normal." The Portuguese coach admitted.
