Bryan Mbeumo has joined Manchester United to boost their firepower options but does Ruben Amorim still need to sign a striker?

Bryan Mbeumo might finally be the right fit for Manchester United's attack, but the £71m price tag raises serious questions.

Manchester United have finally ended their protracted chase for Bryan Mbeumo after agreeing a deal with Brentford for the Cameroon forward worth up to £71 million.

Manchester United are closing in on their third signing of the summer with Bryan Mbeumo set to join from Brentford after the Bees agreed to accept an improved bid

Manchester United have made a £69m former player of Ruben Amorim’s their ‘main target’ after completing the signing of Bryan Mbeumo from Brentford. The Red Devils have made just two signing so far this summer with Brazilian forward Matheus Cunha arriving from Wolves for £62.5m, while Diego Leon joined from Paraguayan side Cerro Porteno for £3.3m.

It had been a dismal campaign, United’s worst finish in the top flight (15th) since they were relegated in the 1973-74 season and without the consolation of a cup win after Amorim’s side were beaten 1-0 by Tottenham Hotspur in the Europa League final.
