In the Premier League summer series where Manchester United beat West Ham United 2-1, Mr. Mbemo did not participate, which disappointed more than 80,000 spectators on the scene. The club then officially announced that due to physical fitness issues, Mbemo is likely to miss all three games of the trip to the United States.

fans who left the New Jersey Metropolitan Stadium were seen by Mbemo, and he had post-match training classes with other teammates who did not start in the game. Social media photos of teammate Amad Diallo show that Manchester United has arranged a seat for the new player in the locker room, and he is sitting next to Amad.

Amorin did not completely rule out the possibility of Mbemo playing Everton on Sunday, but he has a greater chance of not playing until he returns to England. In that case, the Cameroonian winger's debut will be the last warm-up match between Old Trafford and Fiorentina, with Manchester United legendary goalkeeper De Gea playing for the team, and that game was regarded by Red Devils fans as his late "farewell match".

Mbemo barely completed the transfer when Manchester United flew to the United States. Negotiations for his joining from Brentford were delayed for a month and a half, so his summer training was affected, only one week of training, while his teammates had been practicing for 3 weeks. The 25-year-old Cameroon international was not injured, but because he was working hard to reach the game, Amorin does not want him to enter the roster at the moment. A player usually reaches the game state after three weeks of training, and Mbemo will reach this limit in the battle against the "Purple Lily".

Amorin said: "Brian (Mbemo)'s training camp has started slowly and he will certainly not be in the next game (Tuesday against Bournemouth in Chicago). We hope that in the last game, Brian can be used, but he is still training, we can only wait and see."

Amorin said: "They are really modest. They know how to fit in the team and don't act like a star. They Also understand that now is not the time to be a star. They are part of the team and also the locker room leaders. Not only what they have done to the team, but also how they get along with their teammates, they are improving our team in every way. "The Manchester United coach then praised several players on the team: "All people, I don't want to discuss it in detail. Rasmus (Hoylund) performed so well, I really liked his game, he played well in one-on-one, especially when we were in possession of the ball. He and his teammates He also cooperated very well, so he did a great job. Cunya is the kind of player who can help us, and he brings a lot to the team because he can run the ball, which is an element that can change the game, and we were missing that last year. "[2]

Amorin added: "Bryant (Meno) and Manuel (Ugat) played great in the first half, and I don't want to discuss the second half lineup because it's difficult to get 11 players on the game, and there are a lot of young people. But I really like this team. Of course, You have to analyze the game and you have to improve something."

Manchester United currently has 5 players who have not participated in the competition, except for Mbemo, and goalkeeper Andre Onana, whose tendon injury is recovering; right back Mazravi missed the game against West Ham United due to a back injury; center Zilkze missed the last two warm-up games, and the official explanation is that there are minor problems; while central defender Lisandro Martinez is a long-term injury, he had surgery last season and there is no timetable for his comeback.

Manchester United played their last friendly match against Fiorentina at the Dream Theater on August 9. In 8 days, the team will face Arsenal at home and start the new Premier League season.
