“For us [growing up in France], obviously Zidane [was a player I liked],” Mbeumo tells former United forward Danny Webber, while appearing on our Influencers series.
“Zidane and Eto’o [were the players I admired] when I grew up watching my first-ever football games, [at the] World Cup, AFCON, Euros.
“He [Eto’o] was a very, very good player, good dribbler, good finisher. He had it all for the position. Dribbling, shooting, even passing. He was really complete.”
