Mbeumo will make MU debut vs Everton with Cunha also set to feature in friendly

Bryan Mbeumo will debut his Manchester United against Everton in Atlanta on Sunday evening.

Mbeumo has catching up for the season since he came to United from Brentford for £ 71 million on the eve of the club's tour by the US.

The Cameroon Forward missed the victories in West Ham and Bournemouth in the Premier League Summer Series, but will perform in the last match against Everton in the Mercedes-Benz Stadium.

“He is going to play,” head coach Ruben Amorim confirmed. 'I am really excited to see him play and what he can give to our team. But I was very enthusiastic to see the team play the last game (against Bournemouth). You may look at the starting XI and say: “nothing to see today”. And I was so excited because I know we can do better. So I am always excited, especially at the moment. '

The other major summer signing of United Matheus Cunha is expected to play alongside Mbeumo after missing the 4-1 victory over Bournemouth due to fatigue.

Cunha costs £ 62.5 million from Wolves, but the fact that United can spread the costs of his transfer and the Mbeumo deal over several episodes has helped the club to stay within FFP restrictions and have enough to buy a new striker while they continue to chase RB Leipzigs Benjamin Sesko.

United has saved more than £ 12 million by borrowing Marcus Rashford to Barcelona, who pay all his wages of £ 315,000 a week, after he had previously compensated the salaries of Rashford, Jadon Sancho, Antony and Tyrell Malacia by sending them on loan last season.

They also received an extra £ 20.7 million this summer through sale clausules after Alvaro Carreras had moved to Real Madrid, Anthony Elanga to Newcastle and Maxi Oyedele to Strasburg, while Chelsea paid a fine of £ 5 million in a tribe of the lening.

United hopes to sell Sancho in the midst of interest from his old club Borussia Dortmund and Juventus, while Chelsea leads the chase for Alejandro Garnacho that is appreciated at around £ 40 million. Real Betis wants to sign Antony and Malacia has been associated with a move to Saudi Arabia.

It means that United can still go back to the transfer market to sign a striker, central midfielder and possibly a goalkeeper after Andre Onana was excluded from the tour games with a hamstring injury. United quoted Monaco a prize of £ 30 million for Onana earlier in the window and inquired about Emi Martinez of Aston Villa and Paris Saint-Germain keeper Gianluigi Donnarumma.

Asked if he hoped to make more new signing sessions, Amorim replied: “Hope is a strong word. We are always looking for improving the team, and we have some characteristics that we would like to have. But again, it depends on the market. It depends on the sale. We will see. But I am really happy. '
