News –Man Utd plot move to beat Liverpool to £25.3million midfield signing – Report
A few days ago, we covered a story stating that Bryan Mbeumo would prefer a move to a Champions League side like Newcastle United.
However, the latest updates suggest that Mbeumo has deiced to join Manchester United instead.
As per today’s edition of The Irish Daily Mail, the Old Trafford outfit are set to win the race to lure the £70million-rated Cameroonian winger from Brentford.
The British media outlet have mentioned that the likes of Arsenal, Spurs and Newcastle made contact to lure Mbeumo but he has told Man United, he only wants to join them.
The Athletic have also confirmed that the player’s desire is to play at Old Trafford in the next campaign.
Major Coup
Last year, the 18-capped international told L’Equipe:
“I want to play in the biggest competitions, in the best clubs. It’s still enticing to see some big teams interested in me. We’ll see.”
Among the interested clubs, it will be fair to say that the Gunners are in a position to offer him the best sporting project as they have the squad to challenge for the Premier League and even for the Champions League.
Therefore, to beat Arsenal to the signing of Mbeumo, who netted 20 goals in the Premier League last term, would a major coup for Man United.
The 25-year-old is primarily a left winger but can also play as a center forward and as a secondary striker. Should he arrive, Amorim may use him in the RCAM position with new signing, Cunha, as LCAM in the 3-4-2-1 formation.
