I Want To Be The Best In The World – Mbeumo

Manchester United forward Bryan Mbeumo has opened up on his ambitions as a footballer. He recently revealed that his childhood dreams fuelled his rise from the lower leagues, and fans have been reacting.

Noting that his humble beginnings gave him the mental fortitude required to succeed at a club the size of MUFC, Mbeumo disclosed that he wants to be the best player in the world.

The Cameroon international added that his drive comes from a long-standing desire to see his name mentioned alongside the greatest to ever play the game.

His words, “I just can’t wait for the UCL. I know it means a lot for the club and for the fans, so I know it’s going to be an unbelievable atmosphere.

I always told myself I wanted to be the best player in the world, so playing these kinds of competitions was really high in my head. Even, as you said, [when] I started in lower leagues and lower teams, I always had this target in my mind.

I’m feeling really proud of myself, obviously because it’s never been easy for me. [I have] always had to work hard, but I never forgot about what I was wanting. I always believed in myself because I knew I had special abilities as well. I always tried to work hard and I’m really happy for what is coming for me.”

WOW.

Manchester United Football Club, commonly referred to as Man United or simply United, is a professional football club based in Old Trafford, Greater Manchester, England. The club competes in the Premier League, the top division in the English football league system.

Nicknamed the Red Devils, they were founded as Newton Heath LYR Football Club in 1878, but changed their name to Manchester United in 1902. After a spell playing in Clayton, Manchester, the club moved to their current stadium, Old Trafford, in 1910.

Alex Ferguson and his assistant Archie Knox arrived from Aberdeen on the day of Atkinson’s dismissal, and guided the club to an 11th-place finish in the league. Despite a second-place finish in 1987–88, the club was back in 11th place the following season. Reportedly on the verge of being dismissed, Ferguson’s job was saved by victory over Crystal Palace in the 1990 FA Cup final.

The following season, Manchester United claimed their first UEFA Cup Winners’ Cup title. That triumph allowed the club to compete in the European Super Cup for the first time, where United beat European Cup holders Red Star Belgrade 1–0 at Old Trafford. The club appeared in two consecutive League Cup finals in 1991 and 1992 the left and the right, but he’s not got any sense of danger yet, and empties the midfield area too readily.
