Rio Ferdinand has shared his thoughts on Bryan Mbeumo’s transfer to Manchester United, giving the move his full backing. The former United defender believes Mbeumo will bring much-needed pace, directness, and energy to the team’s attack.
Speaking after the news broke, Ferdinand highlighted the Brentford star’s consistency and work rate as key assets, praising United’s recruitment for identifying a player who fits the club’s current style under Rúben Amorim. He also noted that Mbeumo’s versatility across the front line could give United more options going forward.
Ferdinand concluded by saying that while Mbeumo may not have the biggest name, his impact on the pitch could be huge — calling the deal a “smart piece of business.”
