Manchester United have one clear target for their attack this summer.
The Red Devils have held repeated talks with his representatives.
He fits every box on the scouting sheet: pace, pressing, and end product.
The Old Trafford board believes another forward must arrive after Matheus Cunha before pre‑season starts.
Last year’s front line did not score enough for the Red Devils. That is why Manchester United finished in 15th place in the Premier League table.
Plans for a shake‑up began as soon as the final whistle blew on the league campaign.
Since then, negotiations have moved steadily forward.
United’s recruitment team opened dialogue with the player’s club weeks ago.
Insiders say those talks turned serious after a face‑to‑face meeting in London.
The London club know they may struggle to keep their star man.
They respect his wish to test himself at a higher level and will not block a move if the price is right.
Ruben Amorim has already spoken to senior figures about the incoming attacker’s best role.
He wants him on the right wing but likes that he can also play centrally.
The Portuguese coach values flexibility, and this target offers exactly that.
Transfer News Live already reported that a current United player have told the forward about life in Manchester.
As reported by a Spanish outlet, United are “very close” to wrapping up an agreement.
Only final details over add‑ons and a sell‑on clause need sorting.
The fee is expected to sit just below £60 million.
That number would satisfy Financial Fair Play calculations while giving the Red Devils a proven Premier League performer.
With deadline day still weeks away, United look set to land their man early.
The move would free them to focus on a midfielder and goalkeeper later in the window.
Amorim hopes quick business means more time on the training ground, less drama off it.
The prime target that Manchester United are closing in on is Bryan Mbeumo, Brentford’s relentless French‑Cameroonian winger. At 25, he is entering his peak years.
With the Bryan Mbeumo to Manchester United deal and the addition of Matheus Cunha, the Red Devils will be looking to improve their position on the league table next season and qualify for the Champions League.
