Man Utd transfer news: Bryan Mbeumo holds private talks about transfer after latest bid

Manchester United’s efforts to sign Bryan Mbeumo continue as two of Ruben Amorim’s current players outline their stance on their future amid reports of a swap deal

Manchester United summer transfer window is an important one for Ruben Amorim. The Portuguese coach is hoping to have a renewed squad in time for his first pre-season with the club.

But with plenty to improve after a 15th place finish in the Premier League last term, only Matheus Cunha has arrived so far. United signed the forward in a £62.5million deal from Wolves.

More is required however as the Red Devils look to strengthen their forward line. Talk over the futures of Bryan Mbeumo and Viktor Gyokeres remains but United appear to have made little progress in getting their next deal over the line.

And there are exits to facilitate too. Marcus Rashford, Alejandro Garnacho, Antony and Jadon Sancho do not appear to have futures under Amorim but the club have yet to find a transfer fee for any.

Mirror Football takes a look at the latest transfer news and rumours round Old Trafford.

Man Utd’s secret weapon

Manchester United have launched a new bid for Bryan Mbeumo worth more than £60m amid interest from Tottenham and he has already been speaking to a potential new team-mate about the move. Mbeumo has already indicated his willingness to join United but has since seen a bid arrived for his services from Spurs, who are now coached by the player’s former boss Thomas Frank.

Mbeumo starred for Brentford under Frank last season and scored 20 Premier League goals to garner interest from around the Premier League. And while Frank’s new position could help Tottenham’s quest to sign the player, United have their own asset in the fight.

Goalkeeper Andre Onana has been in contact with Mbeumo about joining the club, per reports. United’s shotstopper is an international teammate of Mbeumo and the pair are said to have ‘spoken about linking up’ under Ruben Amorim.

Garnacho’s preference

Alejandro Garnacho is keen on a move to Chelsea this summer, opening the door to a potential eye-catching swap deal with Christopher Nkunku. Manchester United boss Amorim has told Garnacho to find a new clubin the summer transfer window.

Napoli saw a bid rejected in January and Chelsea were among the interested parties during the winter window. The Blues appear to remain interest with a swap deal involving Garnacho and Christopher Nkunku touted.

Direct talks have yet been held but the Athletic reports that Garnacho would be open to the Stamford Bridge move because he wants to stay in the Premier League. The Blues are closing in on the signing Borussia Dortmund winger Jamie Gittens however which could make a transfer more difficult.

Onana’s transfer stance

Andre Onana wants to stay at Manchester United despite speculation over his future. The former Inter Milan and Ajax star wants to prove he deserves to remain the club’s No.1 even though Monaco have enquired over his availability.

Onana has told friends he wants to stay and fight to keep his first-choice status after signing from Inter Milan for £47.2m in 2023. The Cameroon international did deliver a cryptic reponse whe asked if he could leave United this summer however. “Will I leave?” he said. “I don’t know, we’ll see.”

The 29-year-old drew interest from Monaco and the Saudi Pro League, where he could have doubled his £120,000-a-week salary. But sources close to Onana have revealed his desire to remain at Old Trafford.
