Manchester United are preparing a £65 million swoop for Bryan Mbeumo, the Brentford star widely dubbed the “Mini-Salah” for his electric pace, dribbling, and lethal finishing.
As Liverpool focus their attention on Alexander Isak, United are making quiet but decisive moves behind the scenes to secure Mbeumo, who is seen as a game-changing addition to new manager Rúben Amorim’s attacking plans.
The Cameroonian international, who registered impressive stats last season in both goals and assists, offers versatility across the front line — a trait that could prove invaluable as United rebuild their frontline around speed and fluidity.
Mbeumo’s arrival would send a strong message of intent, with many believing he could be the surprise signing of the summer. Comparisons with Mohamed Salah may be lofty, but the 25-year-old forward is already proving he’s ready for a bigger stage.
