Manchester United are one of the biggest football clubs in the world, with an immense pulling power despite not having European football next season.
The Red Devils have taken a new tact with their recruitment strategy, with INEOS leading a shift to prioritise players who want to play for Manchester United rather than simply wanting Champions League football.
Keeping in line with this focus, United have already signed Matheus Cunha from Wolverhampton Wanderers having agreed to cover his £62.5 million release clause.
Alongside him, CentreDevils revealed earlier today that United and Brentford have now reached an agreement for Bryan Mbeumo to move to Old Trafford as well.
Both attackers have been incredible this season in the Premier League, also fitting with United’s new strategy of targeting proven Premier League talents.
However, the lure of Old Trafford isn’t only felt within the England, with Nigerian international Tolu Arokodare also wanting a move to the Theatre of Dreams.

The 24-year-old striker has been lighting up the Jupiler Pro League with KRC Genk this season, grabbing 23 goals and seven assists in 45 games.
In an interview with SportsBoom, as reported by Metro, Arokodare expressed his desire to compete in the Premier League, saying: “Obviously, it’s a dream to play in the Premier League, but I have my eyes on it for sure.”
He continued: “Whatever options I have, I’ll take my time and make the best decision. I’m a Manchester United fan, and if it happens, it would mean a lot to me and my family.”
It’s understood that United have begun monitoring the striker, with the Belgian club looking for around £20 million for their star man.
As such, Tolu Arokodare could be a relatively cheap signing in comparison to other targets, however his lack of Premier League experience or top European football such as the Champions League or Europa League could make the striker too much of a gamble right now.
