Mbeumo: Rashford's return to Man Utd is great; B. Fernandes' passing ability is world-class

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

You, Luke Shaw, and several teammates have mentioned that this year's squad has one of the best atmospheres you've experienced. Setting aside performances on the pitch, what makes the dressing room so special? You smiled when I said that.

Absolutely, there are a lot of funny characters in the team. Everyone gets along with each other, and the dressing room atmosphere is very harmonious. People are always joking around, and they enjoy spending time together and fighting on the pitch alongside each other. It's a great feeling.

Is this harmony something the manager deliberately cultivated? Does he organize team-building activities off the pitch to build unity among the players?

No, the close relationships in the dressing room come more from the players themselves. When there are group activities, we all participate together, building deep connections and understanding each other both on and off the pitch. That's very important.

With such a great team atmosphere, combined with Carrick's first full season in charge, external expectations have risen significantly. Has this change altered the team's objectives and people's expectations for this season?

Regardless of who the manager is or how the squad changes, expectations at Man Utd are always high. However, now we've become a united and strong team. We just need to play solidly match by match and see where the results take us.

But isn't it difficult to focus only on the next match? Do you find yourself unable to resist envisioning a long-term plan and setting big goals for yourself?

Of course, everyone has ideals and goals they want to achieve, but we keep these expectations to ourselves. Once we step on the pitch, we give everything.

At a big club like this, it's inevitable to dream of winning the title and lifting the trophy.

Exactly. We want to win as many matches as possible. The more we win, the better our chances of achieving our ideal outcome. As I said, we need to stay calm and approach every match with the same focus.

Speaking of the squad, Rashford has returned to the team. He's a new partner for you, but fans are very familiar with him. After more than 600 days, he's back playing on this pitch. What's it like playing alongside him? What has he brought to the team since his return?

His return is definitely something wonderful. I only officially played with him on the pitch recently, but we've been training together for a few weeks. Everyone knows his quality and the impact he can have on the club. It's clear he's in great spirits with everyone and playing brilliantly.

He radiates positive energy.

Absolutely, the whole team atmosphere is harmonious, and he's settled in well with the group.

Your connection with Bruno Fernandes is remarkable. We just saw his assist for you. People have seen his quality, his hat-tricks, and his standout performances, but off the pitch, he's very humble and approachable. Do you think fans might be surprised by this?

Not just him; many people unconsciously think footballers are different from ordinary people, but we're actually just normal people. Bruno Fernandes is very humble and friendly, and there's no distance when talking to him. In fact, many players are the same way, but the outside world often doesn't dare approach us.

Has your understanding with Bruno Fernandes reached its peak? Do you genuinely look forward to your connection developing further this season?

Of course, I understand all his characteristics with and without the ball, and I've learned to control my positioning, knowing when to make runs forward and when to drop back. His passing ability is world-class, and as a forward, I naturally hope to make the most of the opportunities he creates.

Your positioning last weekend was perfect. Facing the Premier League's tallest goalkeeper, you chose to chip the ball over his head to score. What were you thinking at that moment?

To be honest, I didn't expect the goalkeeper to rush out of the box so far. I was quite surprised at the time. The chip was completely instinctive. Initially, I planned to take a normal shot after controlling the ball, but seeing him charge forward so quickly and so far off his line, chipping became the only viable way to score, and in the end, I succeeded.

Tell us about your goal celebration.

The celebration reflected resilience. Earlier in the match, I'd missed a good chance, and I wanted to use this goal to show that I have a fighting spirit.
