Rio Ferdinand praised Mbeumo's impressive record, saying, "His stats over the last three seasons in the Premier League are up there, by the way. Goals and assists, goal chances, ridiculous. Again, another proven Premier League player." Ferdinand believes that Mbeumo wants to join United, and he sees the player's move as a positive addition to the team.

However, Ferdinand also warned that Mbeumo might struggle with the weight of the Manchester United badge. He said, "This is what I like, (playing) in the Premier League. There isn't no adjustment business. The only thing there will be (is an) adjustment because of the size of the club." Ferdinand suggested that players often arrive at United with a lot of talent but are held back by the pressure of playing for the club.

Manchester United scored 44 goals in 38 games last season, and Mbeumo's arrival could provide a significant boost to the team's attacking lineup. However, Ferdinand's comments highlight the potential challenges that Mbeumo might face in adapting to the pressure of playing for United.
