Three ways Manchester United could line-up if they seal Bryan Mbeumo transfer

After wrapping up the signing of Matheus Cunha last weekend, Manchester United have now set their sights on securing the signature of Brentford star Bryan Mbeumo.

Should Mbeumo sign and be deployed on the right of the attack, Amad will almost certainly start from right wing-back. As far as the attack is concerned, Cunha is expected to be a shoo-in as the left-sided No.10, meaning the
