Man United given Bryan Mbeumo 'medical' timeline amid £64m transfer update

Manchester United are reportedly closing in on their second summer signing, Bryan Mbeumo.

The Reds identified Mbeumo as a target to strengthen their attack after underwhelming seasons from both Josh Zirkzee and Rasmus Hojlund. The pair scored a combined of seven goals in the Premier League.

With the Brentford attacker expected to bolster Ruben Amorim’s squad, further additions are still anticipated. But outgoings will also need to be sanctioned, with Marcus Rashford, Jadon Sancho, and Alejandro Garnacho considered strong candidates.

With that said, MEN Sport has taken a look at the latest transfer headlines from in and around Old Trafford.

According to talkSPORT's Alex Crook, Bryan Mbeumo is expected to have his medical at United next week. The Manchester Evening News reported this week that United were close to finalising the signing of the Brentford star following a new bid exceeding £60million.

However, the exact figure remains unclear, although reports suggest Brentford are aiming for around £63m.

MEN Sport says: This is a significant boost for Amorim and his coaching staff. So far, the club appears to be getting their transfer business both right and done early - something that could prove invaluable over the course of the season.

Securing signings before the start of pre-season gives the manager plenty of time to integrate new players into the squad, allowing them to fully understand Amorim's demands and adapt to the team’s playing style. This early groundwork could also give them a competitive edge once the season kicks off, as players will be more settled and aligned with the manager’s vision.
