Manchester United’s Acquisition of Bryan Mbeumo
Manchester United appears to be on the verge of finalizing the acquisition of Bryan Mbeumo, aiming to include him in their summer preseason tour across the United States. Informants for ESPN reveal that the Premier League club has struck a deal exceeding £70 million (approximately $94 million) with Brentford for the Cameroonian striker.
Mbeumo has completed his medical examination and settled on terms with Manchester United, paving the way for his transition to Old Trafford. An official confirmation is anticipated as early as Sunday or Monday.
Preseason Tour and Team Updates
Ruben Amorim’s squad is scheduled to depart for their training camp in Chicago on Tuesday, where they will compete in three matches during their time in the U.S., making stops in Chicago, New York, and Atlanta. This follows their first preseason outing, which ended in a 0-0 stalemate against Leeds United in Stockholm over the weekend. Following the match, Amorim noted a deficiency in speed within the team.
Additional Transfers and Player Updates
Mbeumo’s acquisition marks Manchester United’s second significant addition this summer, with the club previously signing Matheus Cunha from Wolves for £62.5 million. Cunha made his debut in the match against Leeds.
Meanwhile, as discussions continue regarding his potential loan to Barcelona, Marcus Rashford is unlikely to be included in the traveling roster for the U.S. tour. Sources indicate that negotiations are ongoing for Barcelona to assume full responsibility for Rashford’s wages during his loan period.
