It would be fair to say that it's been a reasonably successful transfer window for Manchester United so far this summer.
On top of shipping off a few unwanted stars, like Alejandro Garnacho and Rasmus Hojlund, they've massively improved Ruben Amorim's attack.
The triumvirate of Matheus Cunha, Benjamin Sesko, and Bryan Mbeumo has the potential to be one of the very best in the Premier League, although even with them in the side, there are a couple of areas that still need addressing.

Fortunately, it looks like the Red Devils are closing in on another signing who has been compared to Eric Cantona and could be viewed as a Mbuemo repeat.
Manchester United target their new Catona
According to a recent report from transfers expert Fabrizio Romano, Manchester United remain interested in signing Emiliano Martínez.
In fact, the Italian journalist goes further, revealing that personal terms have now been agreed and that the Argentinian shot-stopper now "wants to join" the Red Devils.
Romano does not state just how much Aston Villa might want for their £150k-per-week star, but reports from earlier in the summer claimed that the Aston Villa ace may cost around £40m.
Even then, for a player of his quality, that may well be a price worth paying, especially as he has been compared to Cantona and could be seen in a similar light to Mbeumo.
How Martínez compares to Catona and Mbeumo
Before examining the reasons Martinez could be considered another Mbeumo for Manchester United, it's worth looking into this comparison to Cantona, as the retired goalscorer is a legend of the club and English football.

In this instance, it stems from Sky Sports analyst Dougie Critchley, who boldly described the Argentine as the "Cantona of his generation."
It might sound like a wild take, especially as the two internationals play, or played, in totally different positions, but when you take where they played out of the equation, it starts to make a lot more sense.
Outside of scoring for fun, what was the Frenchman known for? Arrogance and bravado.
Now, that might sound like a bad thing, and outside of football it may well be, but in the context of the beautiful game, it is most certainly a positive, and a massive one at that.

The former United magician was a natural-born entertainer and someone who thrived on the biggest stage, which is exactly how you would describe the World Cup-winning Villa man.
On top of pulling out world-class save after world-class save in the biggest games, he is a natural entertainer, someone rival fans love to hate, but would love to have at their club.
With that cleared up, why could he then also be another Mbeumo for Amorim and Co?
Well, this comparison is all down to the club signing a ready-made Premier League-proven superstar who could come right into the starting line-up for the next game.
After all, the former Arsenal ace has won two of the last two Yashin Trophies and won two of the last three FIFA Best Goalkeeper awards.
As if that wasn't enough, he also won last 24/25's Premier League Save of the Season for his magnificent stop against Nottingham Forest.
Ultimately, Martinez possesses the same swagger and confidence as Cantona, and the proven track record of Mbuemo, so even if his price tag is a little high, Man United should do everything in their power to bring him to Old Trafford before 7pm.
