Bryan Mbeumo has done well at Brentford, but playing for Manchester United is very different. With respect to Brentford, there is no great expectation there. At United, he will be expected to perform straight away.

However, the brilliant news for Mbeumo is that his preferred No. 19 is indeed available at Old Trafford. Last worn by Raphaël Varane for the Red Devils and previously donned by the likes of Amad Diallo, Rashford, Danny Welbeck and Dwight Yorke, it seems likely to be the shirt he takes once his signing is confirmed.

Manchester United are set to finalise the £71million signing of Bryan Mbeumo within the next 48 hours. After having their third offer accepted by Brentford, Mbeumo is scheduled for a medical this weekend. The forward is anticipated to ink a five-year contract at Old Trafford, earning £150,000 per week.

Bryan Mbeumo has joined Manchester United to boost their firepower options but does Ruben Amorim still need to sign a striker?

It had been a dismal campaign, United’s worst finish in the top flight (15th) since they were relegated in the 1973-74 season and without the consolation of a cup win after Amorim’s side were beaten 1-0 by Tottenham Hotspur in the Europa League final.
