Ruben Amorim prefers to use a left-footed right winger in the CAM position of his 3-4-2-1 formation, and Francisco Trincao played an important role for him at Sporting CP.
However, Manchester United does not have many left-footed right-sided strikers. Antony was an option, but he was permitted to join Real Betis on loan in January after failing to establish himself in the Premier League. Though he has been in great form in La Liga.
Amad Diallo is another option, however Amorim prefers to utilize him in the RWB position. As a result, the Red Devils have begun their search for a new forward.
According to Caught Offside, Manchester United has identified Brentford player Bryan Mbeumo as a serious candidate and is planning to make an initial offer to hire him.
The Bees’ manager, Thomas Frank, has stated that the West London club is a selling club, thus they are prepared to sell Mbeumo this summer for roughly £60 million-£65 million.
The 25-year-old’s current contract with Brentford expires in 2026, but he has the option to extend it for another year.
Arsenal, Liverpool, Tottenham Hotspur, and Newcastle United are all interested in signing the Cameroonian, in addition to Manchester United. However, it looks that the Old Trafford club is ahead of other teams in this contest.
Mbeumo has had a good season, with 18 goals and six assists in 35 Premier League matches.
The African is presently the league’s fifth-highest scorer this season, trailing only Mohamed Salah, Alexander Isak, Erling Haaland, and Chris Wood.
