Cameroon star Bryan Mbeumo backs Carlos Baleba to shine at Manchester United

Cameroon international Bryan Mbeumo has thrown his weight behind compatriot Carlos Baleba to shine at Manchester United after joining the club in the summer window.

Baleba joined the Red Devils on transfer deadline day from fellow Premier League outfit, Brighton and Hove Albion. His move to Manchester United has generated significant interest, with the highly-rated midfielder expected to bring strength, energy and composure to the club’s midfield.

For Mbeumo, Baleba possesses the qualities required to succeed at one of the biggest clubs in world football, and he has pledged to help his fellow African settle into his new surroundings.

“I’m really happy for him [Carlos Baleba], it’s such a BIG and good club here and I’m going to try to help him,” Mbeumo said.

The Manchester United attacker believes supporters can expect an exciting player in Baleba, particularly because of his ability to combine his physical attributes with quality in possession.

“What to expect from him? He’s a powerful guy, he’s good and composed on the ball. I think everyone is going to be HAPPY with him,” he added.

Baleba has developed a reputation as a dynamic midfielder capable of contributing both defensively and in possession. His strength allows him to compete effectively in midfield battles, while his ability to remain calm on the ball gives his team an option when attempting to build attacks from deeper areas.

His arrival also adds another prominent African player to Manchester United’s squad, with Mbeumo himself expected to play an important role following his move to the club.

The relationship between the two players could prove particularly useful as Baleba adapts to the demands of English football and life at a club where expectations are extremely high.

Mbeumo’s willingness to help his new teammate settle could also provide Baleba with an important source of support as he begins what is expected to be a significant chapter of his career.

The Cameroon international will now be tasked with translating his impressive qualities into consistent performances for Manchester United, while Mbeumo believes there is plenty for the club’s supporters to look forward to.

With his power, composure and ability to operate under pressure, Baleba will be hoping to quickly establish himself as an important figure in the Manchester United midfield and justify the confidence being placed in him.
