Man Utd transfer news: Ruben Amorim faces Bryan Mbeumo fight as striker drops hint

Manchester United have already made one major signing this summer, bringing in Matheus Cunha from Wolves, and plenty more incomings and outgoings are expected at Old Trafford

Manchester United are set for a huge summer as they look to bounce back from their worst ever Premier League campaign. United finished 15th in the league last season and failed to qualify for the Champions League after they were beaten 1-0 in the Europa League final by Tottenham.

Ruben Amorim has already strengthened his squad with the capture of Matheus Cunha from Wolves and plenty more incomings and outgoings are expected. Despite their poor season, United do have money to spend with CEO Omar Berrada stating earlier this year: “We speak to Ruben very frequently.

“Ruben has a good relationship with Jason Wilcox. They both share the vision of how they want to see the team playing. It is about planning properly for the summer transfer window and having a clear idea of what players we want to bring in.

“We’re making some big efforts to get us in the best financial position. Even if we’re outside of Europe – I think we will be in a position to invest in the squad.”

With that in mind, Mirror Football has taken a look at some of the latest transfer news and rumours from Old Trafford…

Mbeumo fight

United are hoping to sign Bryan Mbeumo this summer, but Tottenham look set to try and hijack the move.

Brentford boss Thomas Frank is expected to replace Ange Postecoglou at Spurs and Mirror Football understands that he wants to bring Mbeumo with him to north London. United have held extensive talks with Mbeumo, but are yet to reach an agreement with Brentford.

Although the Red Devils are ready to offer Mbeumo a more lucrative deal, the lure of Champions League football and continuing to work with Frank could tip the balance in Spurs’ favour.

Hojlund hint

Rasmus Hojlund has been linked with a move to Inter Milan this summer, but the striker has insisted he is “fully dedicated” to United.

Hojlund managed just 10 goals in 52 games across all competitions last season and reports have claimed that Inter are ready to offer him an escape route. However, when asked about his future while on international duty with Denmark, Hojlund said: “I have a contract until 2030, so I expect to play for Manchester United.

“I’m looking forward to going on a summer vacation, and then I’m fully dedicated to the project that’s underway. I know I can’t get much out of reading things. I know what the facts are, and that is that I have a contract with Manchester United until 2030. I expect to play there, so I’m just getting ready for some summer vacation and then hopefully a good pre-season.”

Garnacho offered exit

Mirror Football understands that Saudi Pro League side Al-Nassr are interested in signing Alejandro Garnacho.

Garnacho is expected to leave Old Trafford this summer and Al-Nassr have emerged as a potential destination, with the Argentine viewed as an alternative target to Luis Diaz after Liverpool made it clear they do not want to sell him.

United have also had enquiries from Saudi Arabia about Jadon Sancho after Chelsea decided to pay a £5m penalty fee instead of signing him permanently after a loan spell at Stamford Bridge.
