Mbeumo thrilled to work with 'smart' Fernandes at United

LONDON - Bryan Mbeumo says he is excited about linking up with Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes, as he prepares for life at Old Trafford following his move from Brentford.

After many weeks of drawn-out talks, the 25-year-old finally joined the Red Devils last week for £65 million (S$111.9 million) plus a potential £6 million in add-ons.

The Cameroon winger, who scored 20 goals and provided seven assists for Brentford in the English Premier League last season, has signed a five-year deal with United, becoming their third signing of the summer transfer window.

Mbeumo told the Rio Ferdinand Presents podcast that Fernandes — who scored 19 goals and provided 19 assists in 57 appearances across all competitions for United last season — was the player he was most looking forward to playing with.
