Manchester United’s summer transfer window has looked promising, with the club bringing in three big-name attacking players.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Matheus Cunha, Bryan Mbeumo, and Benjamin Sesko have all arrived at United, with youngster Diego Leon also joining the club.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Veteran player Matthijs de Ligt spoke about Mbeumo’s arrival, and the Dutch international was full of praise for Mbeumo.\u00a0<\/p>\n

What did de Ligt say about Mbeumo?<\/p>\n

In a recent Manchester United video<\/a>, de Ligt said, “He\u2019s really explosive, and he\u2019s not even fully fit yet.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“He knows that he still has to work hard because he came from a shorter pre-season because he didn\u2019t train at Brentford.”<\/p>\n

Mbeumo showed positive signs in United’s opener against Arsenal, with the Cameroonian international pressuring the Gunners’ defense and goal.\u00a0<\/p>\n

De Ligt continued, “So I think he has already shown so much quality, but I think when he becomes even more fit, you will see the real potential coming out.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“I can\u2019t wait to see that because it will help us as a team massively.”<\/p>\n

Mbeumo scored 20 goals for Brentford in the last Premier League<\/a> season, which is a statistic that Ruben Amorim will be hoping to see from Mbeumo in his first season at United.\u00a0<\/p>\n
