Manchester United's manager, Ruben Amorim, is looking to strengthen his team's attacking lineup. He has already signed Matheus Cunha from Wolves for over £60 million. To complete the signing of Mbeumo, Manchester United will need to increase their bid to a similar price. This could potentially lead to one of their current attacking players, such as Rasmus Hojlund, Joshua Zirkzee, or Amad, leaving the team.

Brentford has the option to extend Mbeumo's contract by 12 months if a deal is not reached before the end of the transfer window. This would allow the player to consider other options if Manchester United is not the right fit for him. With the addition of Cunha and Mbeumo, it is likely that one of the current attacking players will be sold to make room in the lineup.
