The Manchester United team team is seriously needing a overhaul this summer, especially if it has to correct the wrongs of the 2024/25 campaign.
Ruben Amorim’s team ended the season in a lean 15th in the Premier League, later falling well below the enormous expectations imposed on them by the fans base.
However, the boss will need huge funds if he wants to manage such a turnaround of players to help him in his quest to bring the club back to any form of domestic glory.
He has already obtained the signing of Matheus Cunha from the Wolves, costing the region of 62.5 million pounds in the region and removing the number ten of Marcus Rashford – with the graduate of the Academy likely to leave this summer.
Despite the first cases, transactions have dried in recent weeks, but no more work continues to be done behind the scenes to transform the team before 2025/26.
The last on the hunting in United for new additions this summer
Bryan Mbeumo was a star linked to United for what looks like an eternity, but the Red Devils are not closer to the acceptance of costs for the signing of Cameroonian this summer.
The 25 -year -old has been the subject of two separate offers this window, with the last total of 62.5 million pounds sterling, but it is not enough to convince Brentford to look for their star man, which they appreciate at 65 million pounds sterling.
However, he is not the only player currently in sight, with the Lyon star, Corentin Tolisso, firmly on their radar this window, according to the catches.
They say that the club’s hierarchy has already contacted Ligue 1 outfit on a move for the 30 -year -old, which could be available for 20 million pounds Sterling this window.
He also indicates that he could be open to a visit to Old Trafford this summer, looking at the United project positively, but he will not force the Red Devils if an offer does not correspond to his requested price.
Other reports from the French store Le Progres, via Sport Witness, suggest that the midfielder has been taking over the offers for some time. However, after receiving an offer from United, which would be “insisted” to sign it, it could make Tolisso think twice if he wants to leave Lyon.
Why the last target of United would be perfect for Mbeumo
It is undeniable that Mbeumo would be an excellent addition for United this summer, especially when you dive into the figures produced in the last Brentford campaign.
The Cameroonian international managed to find the net 20 times in the Premier League, ending the year as one of the five players to have managed to achieve such a feat.
Only Mohamed Salah, Erling Haaland and Alexander Isak recorded more goals in England in full flight, highlighting the threat he carries in the last third.
Although it would be a huge investment, it would certainly be valid, especially since it recorded 45% of the goals that the Red Devils scored the last campaign by itself.
If he moves to the northwest, he could be helped in his quest by the current French star Tolisso, who has all the tools to help Mbeumo in the last third.
The Lyon star, who was labeled “world class” by former teammate Marc Roca, recorded 11 goals and combined assists, presenting the Amorim team with another impressive option in the last third.
He also recorded 6.4 progressive passes for 90 last season, including 5.7 in the last third, granting Mbeumo the tools he will need to hit the ground to Old Trafford.

Tolisso has further impressed by the ball at his feet, making 1.2 key passes per 90, while scoring 1.4 transport in the last third for 90, also having the possibility of offering an additional attacking threat.
20 million pounds sterling for a player of his quality and his experience could prove to be an excellent collection, potentially move to England and provide a key depth in the midfielder’s department.
If he can reproduce his excellent figures of his stay in France, it would be a clever addition to the Red Devils, with the perspective of the star which binds to Mbeumo which should excite the supporters.
