Ruben Amorim's transfer plans come together slowly after they have finally sealed the £ 71 million of Bryan Mbeumo, participating in the second transfer of the club of the summer after the arrival of Matheus Cunha
Manchester United made their second signature of the summer after they finally sealed a £ 71 million movement for Brentford striker Bryan Mbeumo in another boost for the hope of Ruben Amorim on a positive second season that is in charge.
Amorim now has two new attackers to choose from after securing the signing of Matheus Cunha van Wolves earlier in the window and things are now looking for the Red Devils.
United is in the United States before the start of their pre-season tour and they have the opportunity to re-rebuilt positively after their disastrous campaign 2024-25, making them 15th with 18 losses.
There are still areas that want to strengthen United – including a new keeper and some new defenders – while Amorim wants to push the team closer to the top of the Premier League table.
With that in mind, Mirror Football has taken a look at the big news news about Manchester United.
Lammens instead of Martinez
United is alerted by news that Andre Onana has suffered an injury after tearing a hamstring and he probably seems to miss the start of the Premier League season.
Back-up Shot stopper Altay Bayindir has been associated with an exit because he is looking for more regular minutes, so Amorim needs a disaster plan in Doel.
Emi Martinez from Aston Villa is standing in line as a possible option, but United has already been rejected in an offer on the Argentinian World Cup winner after proposing a loan agreement.
According to the Daily Mail, United's offer was entered into with “Incredulity” and was “immediately rejected” after he had only signed an extension of 12 months last year.
United will have to look at alternative options and Royal Antwerp Keeper Senne Lammens is on the rise as a new candidate after his excellent season in Belgian.
In the past, Sams has been associated with United and Manchester Evening News has reported that he could be signed as a long -term replacement for Onana – although he is not expected to start competitions regularly.
It adds that he has a limited senior experience at the highest level, but would still be a good prospect for the future, and one that would excite United fans who have been concerned about Onana's inconsistency.
Amorim Target refuses Valencia Deal
A new midfielder is also on the agenda in United this summer after losing Christian Eriksen, while there are long -term doubts about veteran Casemiro.
United has reportedly focused Javi Guerra, who has become an important member of the Valencia team and last season 31 of their 38 LA Liga matches started.
But the 21-year-old is said to have rejected the offer of a new deal with the Spanish club, according to Marca and has demanded “something better” in the midst of interest of the Red Devils.
It adds that United “keeps an eye on the player” and “working behind the scenes” to take him to Old Trafford.
Valencia had promised to “make a sporting project around him”, but that offer was not enough for Guerra, says the report.
Guerra is currently appreciated at £ 17 million, but Valencia will not mention any offers of less than £ 23 million, because Villarreal is entitled to a sale of 30 percent.
It adds that United is willing to spend up to £ 21.6 million on Guerra, because Amorim wants to add more steel to his midfield.
Mbeumo wants to emulate Ronaldo
The newest signing of United hopes to follow in the footsteps of one of the largest players in United after a pen on paper at Old Trafford – Cristiano Ronaldo.
Mbeumo finally arrived through the door after conversations with his old club Brentford dragged on a large part of the summer and he has now talked about how he abducted Ronaldo as he grew up.
Ronaldo scored a total of 145 goals for United in two spells, but it was during his first Stint in the club between 2003 and 2009 where he became a legend, making the club three Premier League titles and the Champions League helped.
He also won the Ballon d'Or in United and Mbeumo has now revealed that he looked up to the Portuguese superstar when he was a child.
“My first top was one with Ronaldo behind it [on the back]”He said when he was asked to call his favorite player.
“It changed the time. When I was very young, the two best football players were Ronaldo and Messi. When I grew up, Neymar. After that it was Eden Hazard.
“My dream was to become a football player and play for one of the largest teams in the world. But if you really do it, it's completely different.”
