Bryan Mbeumo is poised for a compelling reunion with his former club, Brentford, as he prepares to face them in the Premier League as a Manchester United player. This highly anticipated match is scheduled for September 27.
This fixture holds significant emotional weight for Mbeumo, who returns to the stadium where he was once a beloved figure, regularly cheered by the Brentford faithful at their Community Stadium. Now, however, the 26-year-old will don the iconic Red Devils jersey, standing in opposition to his former teammates. Mbeumo made the switch to Manchester United for a reported fee of $87.40 million and has since made a strong impression with his new club, even finding the back of the net. During his tenure at Brentford, he was a prolific scorer, netting 70 goals in 242 appearances, a record that deeply endeared him to the club’s supporters.
Manchester United comes into this fixture in decent form, currently sitting 11th in the Premier League table after securing a 2-1 victory over Chelsea last week. Brentford, meanwhile, finds themselves 17th, positioned just above the relegation zone, and will be eager to secure crucial points against their former star player.
Elsewhere on September 27, Liverpool is set for a challenging away trip to Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park. The team, managed by Arne Slot, faces its own set of challenges, including player absences. Liverpool will be looking to continue their strong campaign, while Palace will aim to make the most of their home advantage.
