This season, Manchester United has been dramatic. Completely off the mark in the Premier League , the Mancunians missed out in the Europa League final, losing by the narrowest of margins to Tottenham despite eliminations of Bilbao, OL and Real Sociedad in the previous rounds. Arriving last November, Ruben Amorim has been unable to turn things around and his debut on the Red Devils bench has frankly left something to be desired. With the patience of the board on his side, the Portuguese coach has logically returned for a second year.
With no more excuses, the 40-year-old coach wants to build on a successful summer transfer window to achieve the major goals he's set for himself. Without European competition, Amorim will have to claim a place in the Premier League's top four next year in order to return to the Champions League with the Old Trafford side. To achieve this, the former Sporting CP coach has targeted one priority area: attack. While Manchester's forwards struggled last year, Amorim wants to bring in some fresh blood in this area.
Manchester United spends 70 million euros on Bryan Mbeumo
In this sense, the Red Devils already got their hands on Matheus Cunha a few seasons ago. After a great season in the Premier League with Wolverhampton, the Brazilian striker moved to Manchester for €75 million. A staggering amount that hasn't stopped United from outbidding other strikers in recent days. According to reports in the English press, United have set their sights on Bryan Mbeumo . Brilliant this season with Brentford, the Cameroonian striker is also being watched by Tottenham, who recruited his former coach Thomas Frank a few days ago. This Tuesday, the English press went further and explained that an improved offer has been submitted to the Bees to recruit the former Troyes player.
Indeed, the BBC reports that Manchester United have offered the London club €70 million to sign the 25-year-old striker. Under contract until 2027 with Brentford, Mbeumo could leave this summer only if the Bees find their way out of the deal. In this regard, Sky Sports claims that the Gtech Community Stadium residents are in no rush to sell their striker and are waiting for the right offer to sell him. As you can see, this new, improved offer may not be enough for Mbeumo, who has been attracted to United, to settle down at Old Trafford.
