Bryan Mbeumo received a heartfelt welcome from Manchester United manager Rúben Amorim as he joined his new teammates for his first training session following his high-profile move from Brentford.
The Cameroonian forward was greeted with a warm gesture that set the tone for his integration into the squad ahead of the new season.
Mbeumo, whose transfer could rise to £71 million, was officially unveiled on Monday evening and reported for training at Carrington the following morning.
Before the session commenced, Amorim gathered the entire squad in a circle and led a round of applause to welcome the 25-year-old, along with fellow summer signings Matheus Cunha and Diego Leon.
It was a symbolic moment that reflected the Portuguese manager’s emphasis on unity and morale-building as he reshapes the team.
Mbeumo, who netted 20 Premier League goals for Brentford last season, is expected to play a key role in Amorim’s attacking plans alongside Cunha.
The forward has travelled with the squad to the United States for the Premier League Summer Series, where United will face West Ham, Bournemouth, and Everton.
He could make his debut for the Reds this weekend when they face West Ham at the MetLife Stadium in New Jersey.
