Manchester United legend Wayne Rooney admitted that he had doubts about signing Brian Mbemo this summer, but said that the player's performance has proved that he is worthy of the Red Devils.
The Cameroon international joined Manchester United from Brentford this summer for a transfer fee of more than 70 million pounds. After scoring twice against Brighton last Saturday, his season statistics have climbed to 5 goals in 10 games. In the previous away game at Anfield, he scored the first goal for Manchester United, helping the team achieve their first victory at Anfield since 2016.
"At Manchester United, Mbeumo actually got a lot of great opportunities - he just couldn't grasp them all. But I think his energy, commitment and desire to win... these are the essential qualities of a Manchester United player. " Rooney analyzed in his personal podcast.
He also admitted that he had doubted whether Mbemo was suitable for Manchester United: "Yes, I did have reservations, but his performance has proved that he belongs here. The addition of Cunha is gratifying, but Mbemo has always maintained a stable output-this is the most critical trait."
"As long as he continues to appear in the right position to create opportunities, goals will eventually come. He scored 20 goals for Brentford last season and now has a perfect start. His confidence is currently at its peak and he hopes to continue this state - Mbeumo is undoubtedly Manchester United's most successful player this season. Signings. "
When talking about another new aid, Matthews Cunha, scoring his first goal, Rooney pointed out: "The whole team, including the coach, is really happy for him - this sense of relief is crucial. Just like Liverpool's Nunez, the longer the knot is, the harder it is to untie it. Although Cunha missed several games due to injury, the ecstasy at the moment of scoring said it all. At certain moments, players just need such a goal to break their inner demons. "
"I hope Cunha can now reproduce the style he had with the Wolves last year. He is fully capable of dominating a game and his unpredictability is his greatest threat. "
