Next Man United signing after Bryan Mbeumo decided - Dusan Vlahovic, Emi Martinez, £60m move

Manchester United are closing in on their second arrival of the summer transfer window with a deal for Brentford’s United edging closer.

Matheus Cunha have submitted a bid of over £60million for the forward after seeing an offer worth over £55million rejected by the Bees earlier this month. Talks between the two clubs continues, with an agreement close to being finalised.

Juventus are reportedly willing to sell the Serbian
