According to the Daily Telegraph, Manchester United has offered Brentford striker Mbemo 55 million pounds (45 million pounds fixed transfer fee + 10 million pounds floating fee). However, if we want to convince Brentford to let go, Manchester United still needs to raise the offer because the psychological price of the Premier League club is more than 60 million pounds.
Manchester United has spent £62.5 million to sign Cunha from Wolves, and coach Amorin hopes Mbemo will be the club's second signing in the transfer market this summer. Mbemo is 25 years old and his contract with Brentford is only one year away, but the club has the option to renew the contract for one year. The Cameroonian striker is eager to join Manchester United, but clubs such as Newcastle are still interested in him.
Manchester United's main goal this summer is to solve the problem of the team's insufficient goal ability. The Red Devils are working hard to introduce players with Premier League experience and the right age. In the 2024-25 season, Manchester United scored only 44 goals in 38 Premier League games, ranking fourth from the bottom, only higher than the relegation teams and Everton.
Mbemo's versatile attribute attracted Amorin. During his time at Brentford, he played in multiple positions such as right winger, center, right front midfielder and right wingback, which made him very suitable for Amorin's preferred 3-4-2-1 formation.
Manchester United originally wanted to sign Ipswich's Drapp, but the latter finally chose Chelsea. Ideally, Amorin envisions Mbemo and Cunha as right and left midfielder respectively, Drapp as center, and Bruno Fernandez (who has rejected the huge offer from Riyadh Crescent) may retreat to a deeper midfield position. However, it remains to be seen whether Manchester United can successfully sign Mbemo. If Fernandez stays at the team, it is also an unknown whether they can introduce a regular center this summer, or rely on a flexible and changeable attack line.
If both Mbemo and Cunha join, Manchester United's summer signing budget will be exhausted, which means they need to sell people first before they can buy people again. Manchester United hopes to sell four wingers to raise funds and fully support Amorin's tactical system, namely Garnacho, Rashford, Sancho and Anthony. In addition, they may also sell center Hoylen, and the Danes have attracted interest from Serie A teams. In addition, they also hope to clear out some other high-paying players, such as veteran Casemiro.
