Manchester United have their sights set on Brentford ace Bryan Mbeumo, eyeing the forward as a key transfer. However, their shopping list doesn’t end there; with three more signings on the horizon following Mbeumo’s potential arrival at Old Trafford, the Red Devils’ transfer engine is in full throttle.
The Cameroon forward has already agreed to move to Old Trafford, deciding against reuniting with Thomas Frank at Tottenham. With the signing in their sights, United will also look to reinforce their goalkeeping department. Andre Onana hasn’t quite met expectations since joining from Inter Milan, leading Manchester United to consider alternatives, including Gianluigi Donnarumma.
The Paris Saint-Germain shot-stopper, with just one year left on his deal, recently discussed his future: “New deal or leaving? We will see what happens… I don’t know. It’s time to enjoy this magic season now. I will go on holiday and then we will see.”
The complication of Donnarumma’s situation, paired with United’s financial limitations, means that any potential move might not come to fruition until next summer. Nonetheless, plans for a new No. 2 keeper remain steadfast as United aims to bolster their squad depth.
United’s search for goal-scoring firepower sees them eyeing up new talent, with Viktor Gyokeres and Victor Osimhen on the shortlist, after the latter snubbed a lucrative offer from Saudi Arabia.
Yet, they might hit a snag in their striker search as Rasmus Hojlund insists on staying put. He declared: “I have a contract until 2030, so I expect to play for Manchester United. I’m looking forward to going on a summer vacation, and then I’m fully dedicated to the project that’s underway.
“I know I can’t get much out of reading things. I know what the facts are, and that is that I have a contract with Manchester United until 2030. I expect to play there, so I’m just getting ready for some summer vacation and then hopefully a good pre-season.”
Meanwhile, the Reds also have their sights on beefing up midfield muscle and could swoop in for Atalanta’s star Ederson or another dynamic player.
Marquee names such as Marcus Rashford, Antony and Jadon Sancho might exit Old Trafford after loan spells elsewhere, with United ready to offload the high-earning trio should tempting offers come through.
Alejandro Garnacho, who has been linked with a move to Napoli, is almost certainly set to leave, having been informed that he has no future at the club under Amorim.
