Cameroon were knocked out by hosts Morocco at the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations on Friday night in a game that left Mbeumo “really sad” due to his nation's disappointing performance.
The summer signing will return for the clash against rivals Manchester City in what could be Michael Carrick’s first game in charge as interim boss.
Amad’s Ivory Coast were also beaten 3-2 by Egypt on Saturday, meaning the winger will also join up with Mbeumo as they make their way back to Old Trafford for Saturday’s clash.
Mbeumo is also United’s top scorer this season with seven goals to his name, despite missing the last six games in a statistic that sums up the Red Devils attack so far in this campaign.
After being knocked out of the FA Cup by Brighton over the weekend, United will be aiming to bounce back against City who are unbeaten in their last 12 games with nine wins and three draws ahead of their EFL Cup clash with Newcastle United.
This season will now be United’s shortest season since the 1914-15 campaign, where there were no cup games due to the First World War due to their FA Cup knockout.
The returns of Mbeumo and Amad could help either Fletcher of Carrick against City on Saturday as the side aim to jump into the top four over the likes of Liverpool, Brentford and Newcastle.
