Manchester United had their two new boys in from the get-go, whilst <a href=\"https:\/\/tbrfootball.com\/topic\/arsenal\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Arsenal<\/a> had a chance to showcase Martin Zubimendi and, of course, <a href=\"https:\/\/tbrfootball.com\/the-late-night-message-man-united-received-about-arsenal-target-viktor-gyokeres-from-sporting-cp\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Manchester United-linked Viktor Gyokeres<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/tbrfootball.com\/tag\/benjamin-sesko\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Benjamin Sesko<\/a> also got minutes, coming on as a second-half substitute, which showed the Old Trafford faithful a glimpse of their brand new attack this season.<\/p>\n<p>The two starters garnered a lot of reaction on social media, with Manchester United fans very pleased with their efforts.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\"  src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/GettyImages-2229455730-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Manchester United v ACF Fiorentina - Pre-Season Friendly\" \/>Photo by Ben Roberts \u2013 Danehouse\/Getty ImagesManchester United supporters love Matheus Cunha and Bryan Mbeumo<\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/tbrfootball.com\/what-rasmus-hojlund-now-thinks-about-his-man-united-future-after-benjamin-seskos-arrival\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Red Devils have had their problems in attack<\/a> in recent years, but with these two as part of the new-look front three, United fans are optimistic ahead of the season and are all pointing out how good they look.<\/p>\n<p>One fan wrote: \u201cThe difference in quality with <a href=\"https:\/\/tbrfootball.com\/topic\/bryan-mbeumo\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Mbeumo<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/tbrfootball.com\/topic\/bryan-mbeumo\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Cunha<\/a> in attack is so clear to see.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Another added: \u201cThe difference between Mbeumo and Cunha and Hojlund and Garnacho is actually ridiculous.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>A third said: \u201cLove this Cunha x Mbeumo combo, man\u2026 they\u2019re absolutely cooking.

Looked the better team, but just cannot cut through cleanly. Cunha\/Mbeumo have been the massive bright sparks for me. Desperately lacking a CF, come on Benji.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Another fan commented: \u201cCunha and Mbeumo are seriously good buys, man. They keep fighting for every ball despite being outmatched physically against the big CBs of Arsenal. Their intensity and running off the ball is great.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>One wrote: \u201cThe fight from Cunha and Mbeumo is a nice difference at least.\u201d<\/p>\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">It&#8217;s so clear that Mbeumo and Cunha are going to be sensational players for Manchester United.
