Manchester United forward, Bryan Mbeumo has described Super Eagles defender Calvin Bassey as a “beast.”

The Nigerian international is widely recognized as a physically dominant defender, often praised for his commanding performances for Fulham F.C. and the Nigeria national football team.

Speaking in a chat with Zack Nani, the Cameroonian international said Bassey made life difficult for him during their previous encounters.

“Calvin Bassey, damn. I think he really stood out in games. Even the two previous games against them, he was solid.

“Yeah, Calvin Bassey is a beast – the guy is a beast. He’s too strong, it’s crazy, and on top of that he’s fast too.

“It’s not cool to play against him,” Mbeumo said.
