Manchester United targets £60m Bryan Mbeumo, nears Cunha deal

Manchester United are targeting Brentford's Bryan Mbeumo as a major summer transfer, with the 25-year-old forward reportedly high on manager Ruben Amorim’s list, independent of their pursuit of Wolves striker Matheus Cunha. Mbeumo, valued around £60 million, is coming off an impressive season with Brentford, scoring 18 goals and providing 7 assists, and is seen as a potential reinforcement for United’s inconsistent attack. Amorim is expected to back significant squad changes after a disappointing domestic campaign, and United may be willing to invest heavily to secure both Mbeumo and Cunha. Brentford manager Thomas Frank has indicated the club would consider selling Mbeumo if the price is right, and several other Premier League clubs, including Newcastle and Nottingham Forest, are also reportedly interested. United’s interest in Mbeumo comes as the club prepares for a summer overhaul, with the departures of Rashford and Antony suggesting a focus on long-term attacking upgrades. The club’s transfer plans reflect a broader effort to resolve their offensive struggles and reshape the squad under Amorim.
