Ruben Amorim will have to be a little more patient before he can utilise one of his newest Manchester United recruits in the Premier League Summer Series.
After beating West Ham United 2-1 in New Jersey over the weekend, The Red Devils will take on Bournemouth in Chicago next. The match will be played during the early hours of Thursday morning (July 31) for UK viewers.
Amorim has been able to call on new signings, Matheus Cunha and Diego Leon, so far in pre-season, which has given fans a glimpse of what they could offer in the upcoming season.
However, United's manager has not had the chance yet to assess new addition, Bryan Mbeumo.
The forward joined from Brentford in a deal worth up to £71m last week after many weeks of negotiating between his former club and United.
The Cameroon international was not named in the squad for the match with West Ham due to not being match-fit yet.
This would have left United fans attending the Summer Series match at MetLife Stadium frustrated.

When will Mbeumo make his first United appearance?
After beating Graham Potter's side, Amorim was asked by MUTV when exactly fans will get a glimpse of Mbeumo.
Unfortunately, for Amorim and those concerned with United, the 25-year-old will not be participating in the next Summer Series clash with Bournemouth.
The Red Devils boss explained: "Bryan is starting slowly. He is not going to play in the next one. We hope to have Bryan in the last game (of the Summer Series). He's training now, so we'll see."
Based on Amorim's comments, Mbeumo could feature in United's third and final Summer Series game against Everton in Atlanta on Sunday (August 3).
Mbeumo will get another chance to build up his sharpness in United's final pre-season game against Fiorentina at Old Trafford on August 9, before his new team's Premier League season gets underway eight days after against Arsenal at home.
