Mbeumo: Rashford's Return to Manchester United Is Great; Fernandes' Passing Ability Is Outstanding

This week, Mbeumo was interviewed by Sky Sports. In the second part of the interview, he shared his thoughts on Rashford, Bruno Fernandes, and other players, as well as his hopes for the new season.

You, Luke Shaw, and many other teammates have mentioned that the team has one of the best atmospheres you've ever experienced. Setting aside performance on the pitch, what makes the dressing room so special?

Absolutely, there are a lot of funny characters in the team. Everyone gets along well, and the dressing room atmosphere is very harmonious. We often wind each other up and enjoy spending time together and fighting alongside each other. It's an incredible feeling.

Does the manager deliberately cultivate this unity? Does he organize team-building activities off the pitch to strengthen the bonds between teammates?

No, the closeness in the dressing room comes more from the players themselves. We participate in collective activities together, and build deep bonds and chemistry both on and off the pitch, which is crucial.

With such an extraordinary team atmosphere and Carrick entering his first full season as manager, external expectations are sky-high. Does this change the team's objectives and everyone's expectations for the season?

Regardless of who the manager is or how the squad changes, expectations at Manchester United are always high. But we've now become a united and exceptional team. We just need to play solidly, one game at a time, and see what happens.

But isn't it difficult to focus solely on the next match? Don't you find it hard to resist imagining long-term plans and setting big goals for yourself?

Of course, everyone has dreams and goals they want to achieve, but we just keep those aspirations in our hearts. Once we step onto the pitch, we give everything.

At a giant club like this, it's inevitable that thoughts of winning titles and lifting trophies cross your mind.

That's true. We want to win as many matches as possible so we have a chance to compete for the biggest prizes. Like I said, we need to maintain a calm mindset and approach each match with the same focus.

Speaking of the team, Rashford has returned. He's relatively new to you personally, but all fans know him well. After more than 600 days, he's back playing on this pitch. How does it feel playing alongside him? What has he brought to the team since his return?

His return is undoubtedly something remarkable. I only just met him officially on the pitch, but we've been training together for a few weeks now. Everyone knows his abilities and the impact he can have on the club. It's clear that he's in excellent condition and gets along brilliantly with everyone.

He's full of positive energy.

Exactly, the whole team has a very harmonious atmosphere, and he's integrated into the group very well.

Your partnership with Bruno Fernandes is striking. We just saw his pass to you. Everyone has witnessed his abilities, his hat-tricks, and his peak moments, but off the pitch, he's an ordinary person who is very humble and friendly. Do you think fans would be surprised by this?

It's not just him; many people unconsciously think that footballers are different from ordinary people, but we're actually just regular people. Bruno Fernandes is very humble and friendly, and there's no distance when talking to him. In fact, many players are like this, but people outside often don't dare approach us proactively.

Has the chemistry between you and Bruno Fernandes reached its best level? Are you really looking forward to your connection this season?

Of course, I understand all his characteristics with and without the ball, and I'm constantly learning how to time my runs, knowing when to make a forward run and when to drop back. His passing ability is exceptional, and as a striker, I naturally want to capitalize on the opportunities he creates as much as possible.

Your timing on the run last weekend was perfect. Facing the tallest goalkeeper in the Premier League, you chose to chip the ball over him. What were you thinking in that moment?

Honestly, I didn't expect the goalkeeper to rush out of his box at all. I was surprised. The chip was purely instinctive. Initially, I intended to control the ball and then finish a normal one-on-one, but seeing him rush forward so quickly and away from his line, chipping became the only realistic way for me to score, and I managed to finish it.

Let's talk about your goal celebration.

That celebration symbolized resilience. Earlier in the match, I missed a good chance, and I wanted to use that goal to prove that I have strong mental strength.
