Amorim noted that Mbeumo stands out in difficult moments, displaying a different level of determination compared to other team members. This is particularly noticeable when Manchester United is struggling, and Amorim believes that winning games is crucial to address this issue.
The manager also highlighted the positive impact of Mbeumo's pre-season training in America, which allowed him to bond with the team and prepare for the season. Amorim has a familiarity with Mbeumo's skills, having watched him play numerous times, including a match against Manchester United last year.
Amorim was particularly impressed with Mbeumo's performance when Brentford defeated Manchester United 4-3 in May last season. Although it was not a standout individual performance, it demonstrated Mbeumo's abilities both on and off the ball, showcasing his value as a player.
Amorim acknowledged that Mbeumo's defensive skills are notable, even when he is not playing as a defender. This impressed Amorim, who recognized that Mbeumo's abilities are not solely due to playing for Manchester United, but are a result of his hard work and dedication.
