Champions League is ‘big step’ – Mbeumopublished at 14:42 BST<\/p>\n

Man Utd v Sabah (Thu, 20:00 BST)<\/p>\n

\"\"Manchester United<\/a><\/p>\n

Manchester United’s Bryan Mbeumo on joining Manchester United and playing in the Champions League : “Obviously it means a big step for me coming from Ligue 1 in France to such a big club here and playing the Champions League is a massive reward for me and I’m really looking forward to it.”<\/p>\n

“In my head, I saw a bit like the team and the players and I knew I could have good connections with the guys here. And also, I received some messages from the players before I came and I was really convinced that we could achieve something good.”<\/p>\n

“I think it’s the first time I watched the draw from the Champions League. But yeah, obviously really excited to play any kind of games, and yeah, every country, every team is different, and it’s always good to go there and see.” <\/p>\n

“I’ve been used to play a few positions in the attack, like even in my first season professional back in the days in Troyes, I was playing right, left, central. So, obviously, I got some preferences, like I wouldn’t say key positions on the field, but I can have them rather when I play centrally or wide, so doesn’t really matter. As long as I can play and perform for the team, I’m happy.” <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Champions League is ‘big step’ – Mbeumopublished at 14:42 BST 14:42 BST Man Utd v Sabah (Thu, 20:00…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":889353,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[440],"tags":[49,48,561,82],"class_list":["post-889352","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-soccer","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-soccer","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/889352","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=889352"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/889352\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/889353"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=889352"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=889352"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=889352"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
