Manchester United can solve Ruben Amorim's transfer plea with obvious deal no-one has picked up on

If everything goes to plan for Manchester United in the coming weeks, they would have spent £120million on two new players.

Matheus Cunha became United's first signing of the summer after his £62.5m release clause at Wolves was triggered. The fee will be split across three instalments with the Brazilian signing a five-year contract with the option of an additional year.

The next new addition expected to be signed is Brentford's Bryan Mbeumo. United's opening offer of £45m plus £10m in add-ons was rejected with the Bees valuing him at around £60m.

All roads lead to Cunha and Mbeumo being the first names through the door before Jason Wilcox's attention turns to recruiting a striker. Rasmus Hojlund and Joshua Zirkzee both struggled in front of goal last term and it's anticipated that a new number nine will be prioritised.

Viktor Gyokeres appears to be one of the leading candidates after scoring 97 goals in two seasons for Sporting CP. Various reports have indicated different things but Arsenal are understood to be the Sweden international's preferred destination.
