Manchester United striker Bryan Mbeumo has shared a new insight into his long-standing love of music.
The Cameroon international also shared why learning the piano has become one of his favorite ways to relax away from football.
Speaking in an interview published on the club official websitethe 26-year-old illustrated music as a constant in his life.
“Music [is] really important to me because I grew up with it,” he noted.
Mbeumo describes where his love for music began
The United number 19 traced that connection to a weekly family routine at home.
“I remember my dad would turn on music every Sunday while cleaning the house, so every Sunday we would have it on,” he explained.
The forward added that his father’s taste still influences him today.
“My father only played African music and sometimes I listen to that now,” he said.
The former Brentford man also outlined what he likes to listen to these days, pointing to ‘French rap’, ‘Afrobeat[s]’ and ‘piano music’.
The United striker learns piano almost every day
Mbeumo revealed the moment the piano first inspired him to give it a try.
“I had a friend who played the piano, and I went to their house one day and she was playing, and I thought, that’s so beautiful. And I wanted to try to learn it,” he said.
The French-born player emphasized that part of the appeal is about keeping his mind occupied.
“I always like to learn new things in life. It’s also relaxing, so I really like that,” he noted.
United’s top scorer this season then gave an update on what he is currently working on.
“Right now I’m learning ‘7 Years’ by Lukas Graham and playing almost every day. I just bought a new piano,” he replied.
The United player also mentioned a song that he associates with a key moment from his time at Brentford.
“Are there any important songs from my career? ‘Freed From Desire’,” Mbeumo noted, highlighting that “was played when [Brentford] won the play-offs.”
