Earlier this month, Man United submitted a proposal to buy Bryan Mbeumo from Brentford for £55 million but were rejected by The Bees.
In the context of the lack of a deal with Viktor Gyokeres, The Red Devils are forced to speed up the progress of the deal with Bryan Mbeumo if they do not want to be defeated by Tottenham. As for the Cameroonian striker, he has shown his goodwill to play for the Old Trafford team.
The ultimate problem is still money. Brentford will demand a higher price of £55 million while Mbeumo will still keep the salary requirement of £250,000/week, exactly 5 times the number he is receiving at G-tech Community Stadium.
To solve the first problem, early this morning, Man United raised the asking price for Mbeumo to 60 million pounds and this figure is said to satisfy Brentford. As for Mbeumo's salary, if Man United can liquidate stars that are no longer in Ruben Amorim's plan, the figure of 250,000 pounds/week cannot be met.
Man United will continue to negotiate with Mbeumo alone on this number. At the same time, the team will speed up to liquidate many stars such as Marcus Rashford, Jadon Sancho, Antony and Rasmus Hojlund. If this group can find a home in the summer of 2025, Man United will have a huge gap in their salary fund to comfortably find new goals.
Bryan Mbeumo is 25 years old this year, in the final year of his contract with Brentford. The London side could activate for another 12 months, but against a good customer like Man United, they cannot miss this opportunity.
Last season, Bryan Mbeumo played very well despite Brentford being just a mid-table team. He has 20 goals and 8 assists, helping The Bees end the season in 10th place. No player in Man United's attack has scored more than 10 goals in the Premier League last season, so having Mbeumo will be a huge breakthrough.
With Matheus Cunha and Bryan Mbeumo, Man United has almost completely eliminated the worry about the two "number 10" positions in the 3-4-3 or 3-4-2-1 formation Ruben Amorim is building. If there is no change in personnel, Rasmus Hojlund or Joshua Zirkzee will take over the center forward position. With Cunha - Mbeumo behind, Hojlund or Zirkzee will have their scoring burden greatly reduced.
Man United's right wing will strengthen as Bryan Mbeumo will have Amad Diallo, the most outstanding star since Ruben Amorim took over the team. These two stars both possess speed and have the ability to cut in to create breakthroughs. If Amorim knows how to coordinate between Mbeumo and Amad, they will make the opponent's left wing lose their ear when accompanying this African duo.
