Manchester United forward Bryan Mbeumo is set to return to Old Trafford after Cameroon's 2-0 defeat to Morocco in the Africa Cup of Nations quarter-finals. The 25-year-old expressed his disappointment following the loss, stating he was 'really sad' about the outcome.
Mbeumo criticised his team's first-half performance, saying they were 'a bit reluctant to play.' He added: 'In the second half, we were a much better team on the ball, but they took their chances. Congratulations to them.' Cameroon head coach David Pagou defended his squad, saying: 'I am proud of my players. We leave with our heads held high.'
Mbeumo, signed from Brentford last summer, has scored seven goals in 17 appearances for United. His return comes amid major changes at the club, with Ruben Amorim sacked and talks ongoing with Ole Gunnar Solskjaer for an interim role. The forward is unlikely to feature in Sunday's FA Cup clash with Brighton but could be available for the Manchester derby next weekend.
