Manchester United have one of the worst attacks in the Premier League - but that will change

Manchester United scored a measly 44 goals in the Premier League throughout the season, while Matheus Cunha and Bryan Mbeumo scored 35 goals between them in the topflight.

It's shameful that every player at Ruben Amorim's disposal scored just nine more goals.

The lack of firepower was the biggest problem in a chastening campaign at Old Trafford, and staff deserve credit for addressing the issue by being proactive in the summer transfer market.

The signing of Cunha from Wolves for £62.5million was announced on Sunday, the opening day of the window, and a formal approach to Brentford for Mbeumo could be made imminently.

Cunha should be a tremendous addition and that statement can be copied and pasted about Mbeumo, who is understood to have indicated his preference is to relocate to Manchester.

United, Arsenal, Tottenham and Newcastle have been linked with a deal for Mbeumo this summer, but the player has given encouragement that he would prefer a move to Old Trafford.

Thomas Frank has admitted Mbeumo will be available for the "right price" and £50million has been touted. Mbeumo scored 20 goals in the Premier League this season and his overall body of work suggests he is worth that kind of fee.

Cunha and Mbeumo would make for a formidable attacking partnership in the No.10 roles, adding goals, assists, creativity, flair and verve to those important positions in Amorim's system.

Mbeumo has been one of the Premier League's most consistent performers in the last few years and there's a strong feeling there is still more improvement to be unlocked from him, which is an exciting prospect.

The Frenchman came through Troyes' academy before breaking into their first-team, and eventually sealed a move to Brentford in the summer of
