As all eyes were on Manchester United Summer Signer Matheus Cunha in their first pre-season match, another new transfer rather attracted the attention of fans.
Cunha arrived from Wolves at the start of the transfer window to strengthen the attack on Ruben Amorim, the Brentford striker, Bryan Mbeumo, will follow him after a breakthrough reported in talks this week.
Amorim must improve the line before United after the terrible finish of last season, while five players from the first team told the club that they wanted to leave – including Marcus Rashford, Alejandro Garnacho and Antony. Rashford would be close to a surprise loan move to Barcelona according to the reports on Saturday, which makes the arrival of Mbeumo more important for the Amorim team this season.
At the same time that Rashford’s reports emerged, United launched its pre-season games in Sweden as they faced the newly promoted Leeds at Strawberry Arena, Stockholm.
In the accumulation, it has been reported that Murim will be able to call on another summer signature, Diego Leon, after being decided not to send him on loan as planned.
Leon arrived from Cerro Porteno as a prospect for the future, but will now have the opportunity to win a first team team for the coming season.
He made his debut against Leeds and the fans were quickly impressed by the teenager, with a series of impressive statistics emerging from his first half-effect.
As underlined by Statman Dave On X, Leon recorded a 100% ball accuracy, winning each tackle he attempted and had an 80% precision of only 29 keys. In this case, he created two chances, recovered the ball three times, had two attempts to the goal and two taken against his opponents.
Leon was replaced at the break with the level of scores at 0-0, neither of the two teams could mark a winner in the second period while the friendly match ended.
However, the fans were properly impressed by Leon and called him to obtain more opportunities in the pre-season games to come when United fly away in the United States.
A fan said, “Honestly, I can’t wait to see more of him, he looks hungry.” Another added: “Compound, progressive and ripe beyond his age. Diego León looks like a serious talent – effective on the balloon and confident under pressure. One to look.”
Others have pointed out that Leon still has a lot to improve by praising his replacement Patrick Dorgu, but he was always greeted as `fantastic ”,” solid “and” excellent “by fans on social networks when they delivered a particular piece of impressive control and pressure under pressure.
Roberto Rojas on X summed up the beginnings saying: “The decent beginnings for Diego León as a Manchester United player. Obviously, the first game has always appeared, hence a little ball and loss of ball. But he has shown that he can work tactically. Few small adjustments and maybe he can trust in the long term.”
