Manchester United prepares for Brentford: why Mbemo awaits whistles.
Unpleasant reaction to the transfer
According to The Sun: Christian Eriksen faced criticism when he returned to Brentford's stadium in Manchester United's jersey after joining the biggest club in England three years ago. Now Brian Mbemo may face similar reactions due to the tensions surrounding his transfer.
United believes that Brentford tried to force Mbemo to move to Tottenham or Newcastle, hoping he would receive a lower salary, which in turn would raise his price. Mbemo joined United for 65 million pounds, with the potential to rise to 71 million.
The situation with Vissa
When Brentford finally agreed to sell Yoane Wissa to Newcastle on transfer deadline day, the deal amounted to 50 million plus 5 million in bonuses. Wissa is a true striker and scored as many goals as Mbemo last season, highlighting that Brentford could not earn more from Mbemo than from the transfer for Wissa.
New connections
Kobbi Mainoo is no longer with United, and his close friend Alejandro Garnacho is without a team after leaving last month. However, Mainoo has found a new friend in Lenny Yoro, with whom he became close after Yoro moved to United from Lille last summer.

Family events

Misunderstanding before the match
The new player exit scheme from United's Carrington stadium could have caused confusion for some young team members last month. Some rookies thought the team bus would take them back to the training ground after the match, forgetting about their cars.
Senior players usually drive to the stadium in their cars, leaving them after matches; therefore, young footballers sometimes had to call a taxi to get back to their vehicles.

Rehabilitation at Real Betis
Manuel Pellegrini is confident that Antony needs support and a club that will appreciate him. Former United player Antony, 25, is regaining form at Real Betis after two unsuccessful years at Manchester United.
The Brazilian has flourished since his transfer to Betis in January, securing the transfer for 21.6 million pounds. United included a 50-percent share in subsequent sales in this deal.
