Mbeumo pulled on a Red Devils shirt for the first time and started the Premier League Summer Series contest in Atlanta on Sunday. The match finished 2-2 with goals for United from Bruno Fernandes and Mason Mount, while Iliman Ndiaye netted Everton’s first and an Ayden Heaven own goal completed the scoring.

Amorim will hope he can bring the buccaneer spirit he showed at Brentford to United. “We had in our heads that we could win every game,” Mbeumo says. “So we just try to not be scared of the names in their team and then we just try to play.” The only time Mbeumo does get nervous is when playing the piano, his other cerebral hobby.

The Cameroonian signed for United in a £70m deal from Brentford a few weeks ago but missed United's matches against West Ham and Bournemouth due to a lack of fitness. He was finally given the chance to impress against Everton as he was named in the starting XI at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta.
