Mbumo will be united by United and will strengthen the depth of attack in Old Trafford, which already contains new recruits Matheus Cunha, Joshua Zirkzeee, Amad Diallo and Rasmus Hojlund.
As expected, MBeumo was received the NO19 shirt in the ‘Theater of Dreams’. This group number has been free since the defense lawyer Raphael Varane at the end of the 2023/24 season.
Amad, Marcus Rashford, James Wilson, Danny Welbeck and Dwight Yorke are the previous strikers who have worn in the Premier League -era No. 19 for MAN UTD.
Significantly, the 25-year-old receives the same shirt number as the only other camera outfield that represents the club, Eric Djemba-Djemba.

Mbumo had worn No. 19 in Brentford throughout his time, but has mixed between No. 19 and NO20 since his international debut in September 2022.
On the way he said: “As soon as I knew there was a chance to join Manchester United, I had to take the opportunity to sign the club of my dreams; the team whose shirt I grew up.
“My mentality is always better than yesterday. I know that I have the spirit and character to learn from Ruben Amorim and play next to world-class players.
“Everyone told me about the environment that is created here and how exciting the plans for the future are. This is a massive club, with an incredible stadium and amazing fans. We are all very determined to challenge the greatest trophies.”
