Manchester United are targeting Brentford’s Bryan Mbeumo after a tough season, hoping his signing sends a bold message of intent.

Having already secured Matheus Cunha for £62.5m, United see Mbeumo as their ideal second addition in a changing recruitment strategy.
The 25-year-old Cameroonian wants to join United, despite Brentford rejecting a £55m bid. Talks between both clubs are still ongoing.
United are shifting from Dutch-centric signings under Ten Hag to proven Premier League talents like Cunha and Mbeumo under Amorim’s plans.
Cunha scored 15 league goals and assisted six last season, fitting perfectly into Amorim’s 3-4-2-1 setup.
Expected to play as right-sided No.10, Mbeumo outshone Cunha with 20 goals, bettered only by Salah, Isak, and Haaland, reports Manchester Evening.
Mbeumo’s impressive form makes him one of the Premier League’s top performers, and United’s pursuit reflects their rising transfer ambitions.
Despite pressure at Old Trafford, Mbeumo and Cunha’s eagerness to join reflects their desire to thrive at a top-level club.
United haven’t had a 20-goal Premier League scorer since Van Persie in 2012/13, highlighting Mbeumo’s value and expectations.
If Mbeumo matches last season’s output, he could quickly become United’s best signing in the post-Ferguson era.
