Manchester United’s new signing Bryan Mbeumo showed his pace in dramatic fashion during a pre-season friendly, beating Fulham winger Adama Traore in a sprint race deep into stoppage time.
The moment came in the 91st minute, with the two wide men chasing a ball into space late in the game. Traore, known across the Premier League for his speed and power, tried to pull away, but Mbeumo stayed level and then edged in front to win the race.
The clip quickly spread online, with supporters reacting to the sight of United’s forward outpacing one of the league’s quickest runners at the end of the match.
It also offered an early glimpse of what Mbeumo can bring to Erik ten Hag’s side, with his acceleration and willingness to keep working late on. For United fans, it was a simple but eye-catching reminder that the club have added another direct, fast option in attack.
