Red Army fans on social media are worried that. New signing Bryan Mbeumo could be just the latest Cameroonian to fail at Manchester United after he boldly chose the number 19 shirt. Following in the footsteps of former midfielder Eric Djemba-Djemba.
United have announced the signing of a 25-year-old star from Brentford for a fee of up to £71 million. He has signed a guaranteed 5-year contract plus a 1-year team option. And is preparing to pack up and fly with the group on a pre-season tour to the United States.

As for Brian’s number.
which has been a favorite for him since his time at Troyes in France, used as ‘Phaya Bee’ and for the national team.
The number 19 of the ‘Red Devils’ was previously worn by Raphael Varane between 2021-24. The final game of the FA Cup final, defeating Man City 2-1, was a luxurious farewell.
Or before that, the team’s attackers like Marcus Rashford, Amad Diallo, James Wilson or Danny Welbeck were all owners.
The most notable one is Dwight Yorke, a striker who was part of the 1999 treble-winning squad. Over the four years he wore the number 19 shirt for United. He scored a total of 66 goals.
There are good things, but also worries, because when it comes to the Keremoon players at United. No one can be called successful – currently goalkeeper Andre Onana, or before that, in the summer of 2003. Djemba-Djemba from Nantes played for two years before being sold to Aston Villa.
The African defensive midfielder also wore the number #19, like Mbeumo, who failed to perform. In two seasons, he played a total of 39 games, scoring 2 goals and 2 assists.
It will be interesting to see if the expensive striker will be able to break the curse of the witch doctor, a Cameroonian, under the ‘ Red Devils ‘ uniform.
