Transfer news, rumors: Manchester United aim to close $93 million Bryan Mbeumo deal
Manchester United have reportedly bid over $93 million for Brentford star Bryan Mbeumo as the Red Devils aim to sign their top summer target before their preseason tour begins. Per a report from The Athletic's David Ornstein, United have offered $87 million up front and close to $7 million in add ons to Brentford for Mbeumo. The report goes on to say that United are waiting to hear back from Brentford on that offer, as Ruben Amorim is clearly desperate to upgrade his attacking options. Will this deal finally get done? This has become the saga of the summer and United want Mbeumo to be a key part of their new-look attack with Brazilian forward Matheus Cunha already arriving from Wolves, Amad Diallo will also play a key role in attack in the future but the likes of Marcus Rashford and Alejandro Garnacho appear to be free to move on this summer. The issue with this deal is that Brentford know United want Mbeumo and that the Cameroon international wants to go to Old Trafford, so they're in a very strong bargaining position. The Bees also know that United still have plenty of money to spend, even if they're not in the UEFA Champions League next season. This is the so-called 'Man United tax' being played out once again in front of our eyes just like it is each and every transfer window. Brentford have already lost manager Thomas Frank, goalkeeper Mark Flekken and captain Christian Norgaard this summer. They are reluctant to lose both of their talismanic forwards Mbeumo and Yoane Wissa and will hang in there to get the highest price possible from United. You can't blame them. Is Bryan Mbeumo the right type of player for Manchester United? United's plan to go after experienced and in-form Premier League players from midtable clubs is different from their recent strategy of paying big for potential a la Rasmus Hojlund, Leny Yoro and Patrick Dorgu. Therefore they will have to pay big money to sign those established Premier League players. Cunha adds instant quality and almost guarantees you 10 goals and 10 assists a season, while Mbeumo would do the same. That injection of goals, experienced and end product is exactly what United need to at least scrap for a top six finish this season and if they can get the deal over the line for Mbeumo it would be huge for Amorim's rebuild this season and beyond.

Man Utd make THIRD Bryan Mbeumo transfer bid after finally accepting Brentford demand
Manchester United have tabled a final take-it-or-leave-it offer worth up to £70million for Brentford striker Bryan Mbeumo. United had previously failed with two bids for Mbeumo, but are hoping to make it third time lucky with their latest offer of £65m plus £5m in performance-related add-ons. Brentford have yet to respond to United's latest offer, but with the London club holding out for £70m for their star forward, a deal is now likely to be agreed. Mbeumo, 25, has already agreed personal terms with United, and has informed Brentford and other clubs that he doesn't want to move anywhere else, having rejected approaches from both Newcastle and Tottenham - now under ex-Bees head coach Thomas Frank. United boss Ruben Amorim wanted his summer signings on board before he and his squad fly to the US next week for their pre-season tour, with Matheus Cunha the only new arrival. But United's protracted pursuit of Mbeumo is set to end successfully with their latest and final offer, which is likely to see the 25-year-old finally join the Red Devils. United had an initial proposal of £45m plus £10m in add-ons rejected, while a follow-up offer of £55m plus £7.5m in bonuses was also rejected. Brentford have stood firm on their demands, wanting more than the £62.5m United paid Wolves to sign Matheus Cunha. The Bees have been steadfast in their belief that Mbeumo, having scored more than the Brazilian last term, and being younger, should cost more than United's new No.10, who was purchased via a release clause in his Wolves contract. United are confident their latest offer will be accepted and bring to an end the long-running saga of Mbeumo's future. If Brentford do accept United's latest bid, it remains to be seen if they are willing to let their two star forwards leave this summer, with Newcasle having targeted Yoane Wissa. Newcastle switched their attention to Wissa after cooling their interest in Eintracht Frankfurt striker Hugo Ekitike, who prefers a move to Premier League champions Liverpool. Against that backdrop, Newcastle are now exploring a move for £30million-rated Wissa, who scored 19 Premier League goals last season. Nottingham Forest failed recently with a bid for Wissa and it remains to be seen if Newcastle can persuade Brentford to part company with him, particularly if Mbeumo is sold to United.

🎥 Neymar scores vintage goal, nutmeg on coach falls short
Neymar Jr. is finally back in the sporting spotlight, following rumors of a transfer and injury stories. The Brazilian recently demonstrated in a duel between Santos and Club World Cup participant Flamengo that he is still capable of switching to prime mode. Reception, rotation, feint, and clever finish. Neymar hasn't forgotten anything. In high spirits, he even tried to nutmeg Filipe Luís, Flamengo's head coach. However, his attempt to pull a panna on his former national teammate failed. But in any case, we prefer to see a radiant Neymar rather than one in pain or prone to theatrics.
