Manchester United close on £60m-plus deal to buy Brentford’s Bryan Mbeumo
Add-ons being discussed after forward’s initial fee agreed
United coach Amorim also interested in signing a No 9
Manchester United are close to finalising a deal for Bryan Mbeumo worth more than £60m that would make the Brentford forward Ruben Amorim’s second major signing of the summer after Matheus Cunha.
The initial fee is understood to be agreed, with the clubs discussing add-ons that may take the overall deal close to Brentford’s £65m valuation. It would take United’s spending to about £125m after they paid Cunha’s £62.5m release clause to buy him from Wolves.
