It was fascinating to sit down and talk to Bryan Mbeumo at Manchester United's team hotel on Monday. Evidently, he puts quite a lot of thought into what happens on the pitch, which is why he has made steady improvement during his time at Brentford and his time there ended with an impressive 20 Premier League goals last season. This is no guarantee of future success but it did make you feel he is giving a lot of thought to his career and that, as Ruben Amorim pointed out last week, there is more to his move to Manchester United than money.
It was fascinating to sit down and talk to Bryan Mbeumo at Manchester United's team hotel on Monday.
He is not outwardly a massive character, quite quiet in many respects, certainly to the media sat opposite him round a small table. Neither is he the biggest in size.
But he lit the room up when he started to talk about his piano-playing and his love of chess.
There is clearly far more to Mbeumo than meets the eye.
It was interesting to liken the strategy of chess to playing football. Evidently, he puts quite a lot of thought into what happens on the pitch, which is why he has made steady improvement during his time at Brentford and his time there ended with an impressive 20 Premier League goals last season.
This is no guarantee of future success but it did make you feel he is giving a lot of thought to his career and that, as Ruben Amorim pointed out last week, there is more to his move to Manchester United than money.
