Man Utd transfer news: Bryan Mbeumo deal agreed but Ruben Amorim facing familiar struggle

Manchester United kick off their pre-season schedule against Leeds United in Stockholm on Saturday afternoon and Ruben Amorim will be hoping Bryan Mbeumo can join the party that travels to the United States soon after.

Brentford appear to have finally accepted United’s third bid, totalling around £71m, for the Cameroon international and he will become the third signing of the summer after Matheus Cunha and Diego Leon.

However speculation continues to spin over the futures of several members of the so-called Carrington “bomb squad” with several big names set to remain at home while they explore options of a move away from United after Amorim made it clear they are not part of his plans.

Mbeumo agreement
Bryan Mbeumo’s £71m move to Manchester United has moved a step closer after Brentford agreed to sanction the sale of their top goalscorer.

United had failed with two earlier bids for Mbeumo, 25, only for a third offer to be deemed acceptable by Bees chiefs. That will see Brentford receive £65m guaranteed, paid across four instalments, with £6m more to come in add-ons.
