Man United 'target' £50m Ruben Amorim favourite as David Beckham pushes for transfer reunion

Manchester United are working around the clock as Ruben Amorim and key figures behind-the-scenes get stuck into a much-needed rebuild. A deal for Matheus Cunha has already been agreed - while United have launched an offer to sign Bryan Mbeumo from Brentford.

If they want to cash-in to make room in the squad, so be it, but a defensive swoop should be the last
