Manchester United is preparing for the debut of Brian Mbemo against Everton
- Brian Mbemo will make his debut for Manchester United in the match against Everton.
- The club continues to seek the possibility of signing Benjamin Sesko.
- Players like Mason Mount and Luke Shaw have a critically important season to prove their value.
Brian Mbemo will debut for Manchester United in the match against Everton in Atlanta on Saturday, but uncertainty remains regarding the transfer of Brazilian Benjamin Sesko from RB Leipzig.
Mbemo, along with Matheus Cunha, is part of a spending spree of £130 million that the club undertook this summer. His first announcement was delayed, as he needed to reach the level of physical fitness comparable to the new teammates in the squad. This delay occurred because his former club Brentford started pre-season training a week earlier than Ruben Amorim's team.
Amorim confirmed that "he will play," responding to the question of whether Mbemo will feature in the last match of the three-week summer Premier League tour against Everton.
The club's spending this summer has raised eyebrows, considering that minority owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe stated that the club could "go bankrupt by Christmas" without significant income from transfers. Geralds at the club cite several reasons why they may continue to spend, including the need to cover Marcus Rashford's injury during his time in Barcelona and various active agreements regarding sales.
According to information regarding Sesko's choice of Newcastle, the club continues to try to sign this player. Meanwhile, the role of the goalkeeper remains crucial for Amorim, who is expected to keep Andre Onana as the main goalkeeper. Onana is working on his physical form in the USA after recovering from an injury sustained the day after pre-season training began.
Among the other goalkeepers who need to prove their worth in the squad are Mason Mount, Joshua Zirkzee, and Luke Shaw. Each of them has their challenges, including injuries and competition in the squad, which may influence their prospects in the club. Mount, recently, returned after an injury, but he will also need to improve his form to remain in the team.
