Bryan Mbeumo is the NO 1 target of Manchester United in the summer transfer window, but they are confronted with competition from Tottenham, which are reinforced by the arrival of the ex-Brentford boss Thomas Frank
Manchester United will have a fight to make the best talent this summer after missing the Champions League football, with their attempt to sign Bryan Mbeumo that turned out to be more difficult than the first expected.
The Red Devils looked like favorites to sign the Brentford Forward before an £ 60 million offer was rejected and then Tottenham entered the race – stimulated by the arrival of Mbeumo's ex manager Thomas Frank. Spurs have since submitted an offer of £ 70 million.
United remains convinced that they will secure the player's signature because they have already signed Matheus Cunha from Wolves for around £ 62 million. But Amorim has greater problems in his hands that tries to shift unwanted stars such as Jadon Sancho, Marcus Rashford and Antony.
Amorim would like to strengthen his team as much as possible after a gloomy Premier League season has ended 15th in the table and he needs much better quality to increase the depth of his talent.
Mirror Football has completed some of the largest transfer stories and rumors from Manchester United after the summer transfer window was officially opened for Premier League clubs.
Agent Onana Aids Mbeumo Chase
United is already the leaders to sign Mbeumo after being impressed by 20 goals in the top flight last season, by far his best campaign for Brentford.
It is said from Mbeumo that it “leans” a move to Old Trafford, but the Saga remains unclear after the rejected offer of United.
And Frank's move to Tottenham has complicated things, reportedly “intrigued” by the North -London switch now Frank has arrived – a manager he admires.
But United does their best to convince Mbeumo his future lies in Manchester and now goalkeeper Andre Onana is reportedly in the case to convince his international teammate.
Onana and Mbeumo play together for the Cameroonian national team and are considered good friends, with the shot stop in the hope that he can work his magic in view of the nature of their relationship.
United needs new forward players after a few gloomy versions by Rasmus Hojlund and Joshua Zirkzee last season. The duo only managed seven goals in the Premier League between them.
Martinez focuses on United Move
Speaking of Onana – although he seems to be the No 1 goalkeeper at United, that can quickly change if a decent alternative option appears in the transfer window.
And although Amorim is happy that it has Onana as his first choice that takes the new season, he might have his head run after ESPN Argentina reported that Emiliano Martinez was fighting on a move to Old Trafford.
The report also adds that United has already started negotiations with the Argentinian World Cup winner to replace Onana.
Martinez has a contract until 2029 with Aston Villa, but is expected to leave the club this summer after he seemed to have appeared after the last home game of the team of the season.
He has made 212 performances for Villa since he came from Arsenal in 2020, while he also picked up a total of 53 caps for his country.
Garnacho wants a stay in the Premier League
Alejandro Garnacho is one of United's transfer masses that they are trying to shift this summer after they have dropped out with Amorim.
The wing player gave a distinct interview after he had fallen for the last defeat of United's Europa League against Tottenham and declared the team of the team as “S ***” – and his agent brother Roberto added fuel to the fire that he was “thrown under the boss” by his manager.
The Argentinian is strongly connected to Napoli in this window in a movement that would unite him with ex-Chelsea boss Antonio Conte.
It was also said that Bayer Leverkusen was interested in the player, but the £ 70 million valuation of United was deposited in the player.
Despite the interest from abroad, Garnacho gives priority to a Premier League stay, according to the Daily Mail.
It says that Garnacho would be interested in Chelsea, Aston Villa and Tottenham if he chooses to keep playing in the top flight of England.
