There, he began his life as a leftist.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"mt-3 first:mt-0 lg:mt-4\">\n<p>His breakout performance at 18 came along with the under-19 side of the Troys in the final of Stade de France&#8217;s Coupe Gambardera. There it was similar to the mix of Robin Van Persy and Gareth Bale to achieve two great goals when his team won the trophy.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"mt-3 first:mt-0 lg:mt-4\">\n<p>So, how was Mbeumo moving to the right?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"mt-3 first:mt-0 lg:mt-4\">\n<div data-testid=\"atom-body-paragraph\" class=\"text-onLight-02 break-words body-2 md:body-1\">&#8220;That (moving right) started a little early at Trois when I started playing for the first team,&#8221; Mbeumo told TNT Sports as part of an exclusive interview at the club&#8217;s Carrington training ground.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"mt-3 first:mt-0 lg:mt-4\">\n<p>\u201cI was playing on the right for almost six months, but for the last six months of the season I was playing as my second striker. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"mt-3 first:mt-0 lg:mt-4\">\n<p>&#8220;I think it&#8217;s important to be able to play some positions.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"mt-3 first:mt-0 lg:mt-4\">\n<p>Asked if there were any players who inspired him to become an inverted winger, Mbeumo added, &#8220;I was really watching Eden Hazard perform. He&#8217;s a great, great player.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"mt-3 first:mt-0 lg:mt-4\">\n<p>Mbeumo&#8217;s move to the right highlights the diversity of the 26-year-old, playing up to seven positions in his career so far.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"mt-3 first:mt-0 lg:mt-4\">PositionMatchesRight-Winger164Second Striker43Centre-Forward32Right Midfield222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222<\/div>\n<div class=\"mt-3 first:mt-0 lg:mt-4\">\n<p>And it&#8217;s not just the evolution of Mbeumo that the Cameroonians work tirelessly with his technical skills.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"mt-3 first:mt-0 lg:mt-4\">\n<div data-testid=\"atom-body-paragraph\" class=\"text-onLight-02 break-words body-2 md:body-1\">Over the summer, social media videos showed him polishing his &#8220;knuckleball&#8221; free kicks and what he calls &#8220;snake.&#8221; <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"mt-3 first:mt-0 lg:mt-4\">\n<p>There is also one iconic individual Mbeumo used as a reference point. This is Cristiano Ronaldo.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"mt-3 first:mt-0 lg:mt-4\">\n<p>&#8220;I remember watching his videos when I was younger about free kicks,&#8221; Mbemo said. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"mt-3 first:mt-0 lg:mt-4\">\n<p>&#8220;He&#8217;s a huge inspiration for many football players.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"mt-3 first:mt-0 lg:mt-4\">\n<p>The big question right now is: will skipper Bruno Fernandez give Mbeumo a chance to get United&#8217;s free kick?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"mt-3 first:mt-0 lg:mt-4\">\n<p>&#8220;Why not?&#8221; Mbeumo said with a smile, admitting that he wanted to benefit from Fernandez&#8217;s deadball skills.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"mt-3 first:mt-0 lg:mt-4\">\n<p>He added: <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"mt-3 first:mt-0 lg:mt-4\">\n<p>\u201cAnd it&#8217;s good that he can help us, as he knows the team well.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"mt-3 first:mt-0 lg:mt-4\">\n<div data-testid=\"organism-media-card\" class=\"relative block w-full text-left\">\n<div class=\"w-full\" role=\"button\" tabindex=\"0\">\n<div class=\"relative overflow-hidden h-full w-full\" data-testid=\"molecule-card-illustration\">\n<div data-testid=\"atom-card-picture\" class=\"wrapper-16-9 relative\">\n<figure class=\"card-hover-zoom absolute h-full w-full\">\n<div class=\"h-full w-full object-cover\" data-testid=\"blurry-image-wrapper\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"text-transparent h-full w-full object-cover\" src=\"https:\/\/imgresizer.tntsports.io\/unsafe\/1200x0\/filters:format(jpeg)\/origin-imgresizer.tntsports.io\/2025\/08\/13\/image-3cc884cc-a4fd-492b-af27-e33496915b7f-85-2560-1440.jpeg\" alt=\"photograph\" data-testid=\"image-high-res\"\/><\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"text-onLight-02 py-3 pr-3\" data-testid=\"media-card-caption\">\n<p class=\"caption-2\">&#8220;You can see everything you&#8217;re doing&#8221; &#8211; Mbeumo about dealing with the &#8220;crazy and huge&#8221; guy&#8217;s UTD fanbase <\/p>\n<p class=\"caption-2\">Video Credit: TNT Sports<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><h2 class=\"text-onLight-02 mt-10 mb-3 title-2 md:title-1\" data-testid=\"atom-body-h2\">&#8220;Crazy&#8221; Tennis Finals Inspire Mbeumo<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<div class=\"mt-3 first:mt-0 lg:mt-4\">\n<p>It wasn&#8217;t just soccer players who influenced the rounded Mbeumo. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"mt-3 first:mt-0 lg:mt-4\">\n<p>The Sinner led to love two sets and scored three consecutive championship points in his own serve, but the Spanish Alcaraz handed them all in five hours and 29 minutes to win the longest final in French open history.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"mt-3 first:mt-0 lg:mt-4\">\n<div data-testid=\"organism-media-card\" class=\"relative block w-full text-left\">\n<div class=\"w-full\" role=\"button\" tabindex=\"0\">\n<div class=\"relative overflow-hidden h-full w-full\" data-testid=\"molecule-card-illustration\">\n<div data-testid=\"atom-card-picture\" class=\"wrapper-16-9 relative\">\n<figure class=\"card-hover-zoom absolute h-full w-full\">\n<div class=\"h-full w-full object-cover\" data-testid=\"blurry-image-wrapper\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"text-transparent h-full w-full object-cover\" src=\"https:\/\/imgresizer.tntsports.io\/unsafe\/1200x0\/filters:format(jpeg)\/origin-imgresizer.tntsports.io\/2025\/06\/08\/image-ecba9b01-3d5d-4823-b213-750c6a1b78d5-85-2560-1440.jpeg\" alt=\"photograph\" data-testid=\"image-high-res\"\/><\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"text-onLight-02 py-3 pr-3\" data-testid=\"media-card-caption\">\n<p class=\"caption-2\">An extraordinary top shot of the Roland Garos final<\/p>\n<p class=\"caption-2\">Video Credit: TNT Sports<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"mt-3 first:mt-0 lg:mt-4\">\n<p>Alcaraz&#8217;s feat left a strong impression on Mbeumo.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"mt-3 first:mt-0 lg:mt-4\">\n<p>&#8220;I think that&#8217;s the resilience you can have,&#8221; he said. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"mt-3 first:mt-0 lg:mt-4\">\n<p>&#8220;Obviously I was watching the final there.
