Manchester United are eager to bolster their attack and could sign two more forwards this summer.
They have already made an early statement by snapping up Brazilian forward Matheus Cunha from Wolverhampton Wanderers.
Brentford star Bryan Mbeumo could be next through the doors at Carrington, having reportedly given the green light to a move to Old Trafford.
According to reliable journalist Ben Jacobs, United have tabled a second bid of over £60 million for Mbeumo.
Their first offer of £45m plus £10m in add-ons was swiftly turned down by the Bees.
The Mirror reported earlier today that this could be United’s final offer for the Cameroon international.
The Red Devils netted just 44 goals in the Premier League last season, the second lowest by a non-relegated side.
Mbeumo looks tailor-made for Ruben Amorim’s dynamic system and could prove a game-changer in United’s attack.
He fits seamlessly into the inside forward role in Amorim’s 3-4-2-1 formation.
Mbeumo has a killer instinct in front of goal and delivers with consistency.
Known for his relentless work ethic and pressing intensity, he brings the kind of tenacity that Amorim demands from his forwards.
The 25-year-old enjoyed a phenomenal campaign last season, racking up 20 goals and eight assists in the Premier League.
While United have often gambled on raw, untested talent in recent years, Mbeumo arrives with a proven track record in English football.
He has developed into one of the most complete forwards outside the traditional top six.
At 25, Mbeumo is entering his peak and Old Trafford could be the perfect stage for him to hit new heights.
His arrival could allow Amorim to shift Amad Diallo into a more natural wing-back role, adding pace and penetration down the flanks.
