Under the new era of Ruben Amorim, Man U are looking to strengthen their squad. Actually, they need utility players in almost every position. Meanwhile, the club has already shown their intention with the transfer of Cunha. Now, they want to bolster the upfront with Mbuemo. Manchester United had earlier made an offer of £55 million for Mbuemo, but Brentford rejected that bid. Now, Manchester United have made a revised offer of £60 million for Mbuemo.

Brentford and Manchester United are currently negotiating the deal as the potential bonus payments will make the amount reach £65 million.

Mbuemo: The Underrated Performer for Brentford
Brentford feel that the striker have delivered quite well for the team. Brentford were struggling to get a finisher after Ivan Tony’s move to Saudi Pro League. Mbuemo came out of nowhere and stunned the media with his performance. Apart from being the 4th highest goalscorer, he also provided 7 assists. Despite being a lethal box striker, he can also play in the number 10 role. His stats speak for themselves. He delivered a total of 202 crosses in the opponent’s box, which is commendable for a striker. The speedy forward will surely strengthen the attack of Man U.
Manchester United Make Space for Mbuemo
Manchester United need a fresh run. Besides bringing in new names, the club has also put many big names in the transfer market already. Manchester United are ready to accept offers for players like Marcus Rashford, Jadon Sancho and Alejandro Garnacho. Several sources claim that Alejandro Garnacho is expected to join Chelsea. Barcelona have also shown their interest in signing Marcus Rashford in the coming days. Jadon Sancho is heavily linked with Italian club Juventus. Departures of these players will surely give Mbuemo a confirmed starting eleven place under head coach Ruben Amorim. In the last season, the attackers of Man U have miserably failed in Amorim’s 3-4-3 formation. Mbuemo can surely be a good option for Amorim. Mbuemo has shown his ability last season even after playing for a weaker team. He scored 20 times in the EPL this season for Brentford. He surprised a lot of people and became the 4th highest goal scorer last season.

Tottenham Also Have Interest in Mbuemo

Spurs have shocked the football fraternity by sacking Ange Postecoglou even after winning the UEFA Europa League. As a matter of fact, Spurs defeated Man U in the final. However, Spurs have recently announced the arrival of former Brentford manager Thomas Frank as their new head coach. The manager wants Mbuemo in his squad also. However, sources have confirmed that Mbuemo doesn’t want a Spurs move. He dreams of playing at Old Trafford for Manchester United.
