Mbeumo made his debut in the final match of the tournament against Everton in Atlanta, where United secured a 2‑2 draw to remain unbeaten and finish top of the standings. The Red Devils had earlier claimed victories over West Ham (2‑1) and Bournemouth (4‑1), ensuring they clinched the title before the final whistle.
The Cameroon international started in an advanced midfield role under Ruben Amorim’s 3‑4‑2‑1 formation, combining well with captain Bruno Fernandes and fellow new arrival Cunha. While Mbeumo didn’t get on the scoresheet, his pressing, movement, and ability to find space stood out in his first outing.
After the game, both Mbeumo and Cunha were seen posing with the trophy, marking their first silverware since joining United. Fans reacted with excitement across social media platforms, with one user commenting, “Mbeumo 1 game 1 trophy,” and others predicting more success to come.
United signed Cunha from Wolves for approximately £62.5 million and secured Mbeumo from Brentford in a deal worth around £65 million plus add-ons. The two attackers are central to Amorim’s long-term plans as he reshapes the squad for the 2025–26 season.
While the Summer Series is a friendly competition, the early success has generated momentum for Amorim’s side. With the new Premier League season approaching, Mbeumo and Cunha are expected to play key roles in United’s attacking setup as the club looks to return to title contention.
