Man United receive Bryan Mbeumo transfer 'timeline' amid Hugo Ekitike update

Manchester United have been given an encouraging update regarding Bryan Mbeumo before their pre-season tour in the United States.

Ruben Amorim's squad traveled to Kuala Lumpur and Hong Kong for their post-season trip. They will now head to Sweden for a friendly against Leeds United on July 19, before playing three matches in the Premier League Summer Series against Bournemouth, Everton, and West Ham United.

United’s pre-season preparations will conclude with a home fixture against Fiorentina at Old Trafford on August 9.

Having already signed Matheus Cunha and Diego Leon in this window, United could also have Bryan Mbeumo available for pre-season. With that in mind, MEN Sport takes a look at the latest transfer rumours in and around Old Trafford.

Brentford forward Bryan Mbeumo is expected to arrive at United before the squad goes on tour, according to The Telegraph.

A breakthrough in negotiations is expected soon as United prepare to welcome Mbeumo, weeks after initiating talks with Brentford.

At this stage, however, it's unclear what figure has been 'agreed' with the Bees for the Cameroon international.

MEN Sport says: If true, having Mbeumo available for pre-season would be a major boost for Amorim and his coaching staff. The winger’s integration into the squad in the next few weeks before the season starts, would allow him to build chemistry with new teammates, adapt to Amorim’s tactical demands, and hit the ground running when the season begins.

It’s also a welcome relief after what has been a drawn-out transfer saga - one that arguably took longer than necessary to conclude.

Newcastle United have reportedly rekindled their interest in Hugo Ekitike, who has also been the subject of interest from United.
