According to a report by Graeme Bailey on TBR Football, Manchester United have failed with an opening bid to sign Bryan Mbeumo, but they are confident of signing him. The Cameroonian international has been one of the best attackers in the Premier League over the last 12 months, and he could prove to be an excellent acquisition for Manchester United.
The player had 29 goal contributions across all competitions in the 2024/25 season, and he has the ability to improve Manchester United immensely. The opportunity to join one of the biggest clubs in the world will be quite exciting for the player as well.
Manchester United might be struggling right now, but they are one of the biggest clubs around. The opportunity to play for them will be hard to turn down for most players. They need more cutting edge in the final third, and the 25-year-old will add goals and creativity to the side.
The Cameroonian international is also capable of operating centrally as well as on the flanks. He could prove to be a major upgrade on players like Antony, Jadon Sancho or Marcus Rashford. All three players are expected to be sold in the summer.
Manchester United have already signed Matheus Cunha, and Mbeumo could support him in the final third. It seems that Manchester United are looking to build a new look attacking unit this summer. They have the finances to get the deal across the line, and it will be interesting to see if they come forward with an improved offer to the player in the coming weeks.
Meanwhile, the French-born attacker has been linked with other English clubs as well. It will be interesting to see if any other club is willing to come forward with an offer for him. Manchester United should look to step up their efforts to wrap up the move quickly. They need to improve their squad if they want to bounce back strongly after finishing close to the relegation zone last season.
