Bryan Mbeumo has finally lifted the lid on the celebration that has United fans buzzing. After scoring twice in the 3–1 win over Brighton, the forward celebrated with Amad in a move that had supporters guessing. Now the Cameroon star has revealed where it really came from.
“It’s from a GIF from Homer Simpson,” he said. “Yeah, so if you go on the GIF [section in your phone] and you put ‘Homer Simpson dance’, you will be able to find it.
“I think we’ve been talking about this [Amad and I], this morning with him, so let’s see [about any future celebrations].”
The celebration has quickly gained traction among fans. The reference to Homer Simpson, one of TV’s most iconic characters, and the move resurfacing in Fortnite makes it even more relatable for younger supporters. It fits perfectly with the light-hearted chemistry brewing between Mbeumo and Amad.
Yet even with the spotlight shining on his celebrations and his second Player of the Month award since joining United, Mbeumo refused to soak up all the praise alone.
He added: “Obviously, I’m very happy with this. But, as I always say, I think it’s teamwork, and a lot of players would have deserved this as well this month, so I’m happy.”
The duo even took the dance to the dressing room after the Brighton win. However, Mbeumo made it clear the team deserves equal credit for his standout start to the season.
With form high and spirits even higher, fans may see more Homer-inspired shuffles if Mbeumo keeps firing. One thing is certain; United’s attackers are having fun, and supporters are loving every moment.
