Speaking to journalists on tour, Mbeumo said: “Manchester is a big club. I think it’s a great opportunity and I chose the project. I think I’m someone who likes a challenge. There is a very good project in Manchester and I wanted to be part of it.

“Of course, I spoke to some other managers because I wanted to hear their projects but the Manchester United one was very good for me. He (Amorim) said ‘we are people who like winning, and we want to be the best team’, and of course that’s what we will try to do.

“I think it was a very friendly conversation and a constructive one. He explained his project to me, what he wanted to do and I really clicked on that.

“You want to play on the greatest stages in the world. And Old Trafford is one of them. So being able to play here every two weeks is just big.”
