A lot of movement is expected this summer in Manchester United, where the Red Devils in the Hope Brentford -star Bryan Mbeumo and Jadon Sancho to sign on a move to Juventus
Manchester United is ready for a big reset this summer, because they want to jump back from their worst ever Premier League campaign. The Red Devils ended 15th last season and were also beaten 1-0 by Tottenham in the Europa League final.
Manager Ruben Amorim is supported to turn things around and United has already strengthened their team with the £ 62.5 million addition of Matheus Cunha, while teen full-back Diego Leon has also joined.
Much more income and expenses are expected before the transfer window is closed, with Bryan Mbeumo and Ollie Watkins both the target. Jadon Sancho, Marcus Rashford, Antony and Tyrell Malacia are all expected to complete permanent outputs.

Brentford Hold firm
According to a report from De Standaard, Brentford refused to lower their asking price of £ 63 million for Bryan Mbeumo.
Mbeumo wants a move to Manchester United this summer, but Brentford has already rejected two bids for the attacker. The last bid from United was an initial £ 55 million worth plus £ 7.5 million in add-ons and Brentford would want more than the £ 62.5 million that the Red Devils paid wolves for Matheus Cunha.
“He had a fantastic season,” said Brentford's director Football Phil Giles recently when he was asked about the future of Mbeumo. “We were expecting great interest in him; we were very interested in him. He has his ideas about where he wants to take his career. He is good within his rights to do that. It is not impossible that next season he is still a Brentford player if we agree that he will remain.”
Sancho Asking price
Manchester United is reportedly demanding £ 25 million for Jadon Sancho this summer, whereby the winger is expected to complete a permanent exit after last season on loan in Chelsea.
The blues paid a fine of £ 5 million to permanently sign Sancho after he had only produced eight target contributions in 31 performances in the Premier League. According to Corriere Dello Sport, Juventus is ready to offer Sancho a new start.
And the report states that United wants around £ 25 million to sell the attacker, who is reportedly enthusiastic about moving to Italy.
£ 6 million boost
According to the Mail, Newcastle has made an improved £ 55 million offer for former Manchester United wing player Anthony Elanga.
Elanga came to Nottingham Forest from United in 2023 and the report claims that the Red Devils owed around £ 15 percent of the profit if the winger is sold. If Forest accepts the Newcastle offer, United receives £ 6 million.
Elanga enjoyed an impressive campaign last season and produced 17 target contributions in 38 Premier League performances for Forest, because they finished seventh and qualified for Europe for the first time in almost 30 years.
