The issue with this deal has been Brentford's knowledge that Mbeumo is a priority and that the Cameroonian wants to go to Old Trafford, so they've been in a very strong bargaining position. The Bees also know that United still have plenty of money to spend,

He has experience playing more centrally and could perhaps fill that half position between the No.10 and wing to provide United with a new outlet to exploit. But, could Ruben Amorim be about to pull off the ultimate gamble instead and sign Mbeumo to be the Reds' new centre-forward?

Bryan Mbeumo is on the verge of completing his move to Manchester United, but the transfer comes with a warning.
