Mbeumo's viral photo

Netizens are debating over a photo of new signing Bryan Mbeumo in his debut match against Everton on the morning of August 4.

Mbeumo's controversial photo.

A photo of Mbeumo went viral on social media, showing off his "oversized" midsection during a friendly against Everton. Criticism of Mbeumo increased immediately after the photo went viral.

One fan wrote: "£70m for a super-rounded striker?" Another commented: "Mbeumo has had a pretty good summer."

However, the British press claimed that this was just a edited product. This assertion was quickly agreed upon by fans.

"If Mbeumo looked like this, he would have been crossed out by Ruben Amorim, let alone on the pitch," one fan wrote. Another account commented: "Mbeumo looked very slim when he debuted for MU. It's obvious that the photo was edited."

Against Everton, Mbeumo was deployed as a striker in a 3-4-1-2 formation, alongside former Brentford man Matheus Cunha. Despite being a centre-forward, the Cameroonian constantly dropped back into midfield and showed good chemistry with the rest of the team, especially Bruno Fernandes and Amad Diallo.

In the first half, Mbeumo made a strong impression with at least 2 dangerous attacks, one of which helped MU score the opening goal. The final result was a 2-2 draw with Everton.

MU will have their final friendly match against Fiorentina on August 9, before entering the 2025/26 season with a match against Arsenal at Old Trafford on August 17.
