Manchester United may lock in Mbeumo! Signing a major contract this summer to respond to Salah, change is imminent

Amorin admitted on the eve of the second leg of the Europa League semi-final against Athletic Bilbao: "For me, from this moment, we are the worst Premier League team since I took over in terms of results. At the end of the season, we may be the worst team in Premier League history but won the European Cup, so we will not change any strategy, and I still think it is the worst season for the club in the past 50 years. "

The candidacy of the Portuguese coach is both refreshing and shocking - a portrayal of his seven-month hardship at Old Trafford. Since replacing Tenhager in November last year, Manchester United has shown no signs of a rebound since the new coach took office. In fact, most fans will think that the team's form has further declined under Amorin's rule, which is supported by the shameful ranking of No. 15 in the Premier League.

But the blame should not be attributed to Amorin, the former Portuguese sports coach, is not the creator of miracles, and when he takes over the weakest lineup in Manchester United's history, miracles are the fast-acting medicine people are looking forward to. Therefore, results are not Amorin's primary concern. His top priority is to instill a 3-4-3 system concept into the locker room to lay the foundation for the recovery next season.

Of course, some players will be excluded from the reconstruction blueprint. After full investigation, Amorin has identified who meets his long-term plan, while others will be cleaned in the summer window. Therefore, the operation of the transfer market is crucial to the Red Devils' rapid recovery from the disaster season, and the team urgently needs at least one transformative signing.

At this moment, Brian Mbeumo is in sight, and the underrated Brentford core may become Manchester United's "Salah solution".

led Brentford into the European game

Mbeumo played for Brentford for the past six years, and in 2019, the London team recruited him from Troyes, France with a team record of £6 million. In just two seasons, the Cameroonian attacker helped the Bees succeed in the Super League for the first time in 74 years. Since then, he has gradually grown into one of the most stable offensive players in the Premier League.

25-year-old Mbeumo has contributed 67 goals in 133 Premier League games (goals + assists) - considering that Brentford ranked only ninth in history, this report card is amazing. However, the situation may change this season. With three rounds left in the league, Thomas Frank's team is only 1 point away from eighth place Bournemouth, and the Europa League qualification is within reach.

All this is inseparable from Mbeumo's career best form. The Troyes youth training treasure has scored 18 goals this season (doubled its best data in the Premier League career) and has another 6 assists. After Ivan Tony moved to the Saudi league last summer, he perfectly took over the burden of the offensive core.

May leave the team

Although Mbeumo's outstanding performance at Brentford did not receive enough attention in the previous seasons, he is finally starting to win the praise he deserves. The Daily Telegraph revealed that the Cameroon international "ranks high on Manchester United's potential target list" and Brentford priced it about £60 million.

Due to restrictions on Premier League profits and sustainable development rules, Manchester United needs to sell players before they can make a formal offer. The most likely to leave the team are Rashford (Aston Villa) and Anthony (Real Betis), who performed well during the loan period.

As the right winger, Mbeumo can obviously greatly improve Manchester United's strength in this position. He has proven in the Premier League that he has both physical fitness and tactical execution. Brentford teammate Christian Nolgo also hints at his possibility of leaving: "I think Mbeumo is likely to leave, and the situation for Vois (Joan Visa) is unclear. Anyway, I am happy about their performance this season, they are totally worthy of a better stage. "

Manchester United's "Mini Salah"?

Congolese striker Visa's goal count this season is the same as Mbeumo, perfectly filling the vacancy left by Tony. Frank praised the "magic bond" formed by the two: "They love each other deeply, are full of vitality and smiles in training, and work hard for progress every day. "But the Danish coach also made it clear that Mbeumo has more development potential: "This year he added an offensive level while maintaining creativity. I am sure that one day he will play for the giants. If I were the head of a big club, he would sign him. "

After scoring in the 4-2 win against Newcastle on December 2, former Chelsea defender Jason Condy praised Mbeumo as "Mini Salah". Before Salah renewed his contract with Liverpool in April, the Cameroonian was seen as his potential successor, and now Manchester United has a chance.

Mbeumo does have the same level of killer instinct as Salah: a swift, intelligent winger, good at capturing empty lines, deadly ending ability on the left foot, and often panic when he cuts inside on the right. For Manchester United, which lacked the ability to kill a fatal blow for many years, his arrival will greatly improve offensive efficiency.

has a chemical reaction with Amad, but Mbeumo's positioning at Manchester United will be slightly different. In Amorin's 3-4-3 system, he may serve as one of the double midfielders, while Amad Diallo will continue to serve as the right wingback.

22-year-old Amad is one of the few Manchester United players to rise against the trend this season, contributing 18 goals in various competitions (including a stunning hat-trick against Southampton). Therefore, the key to making Mbeumo coexist with him lies in his flexible position change during offense: in the stage of holding the ball, one person makes a cross from the side, and the other takes over the middle; Mbeumo's existence can also share the offensive pressure of Amad and enhance protection during defensive conversion.

The potential Cunnian partner

To maximize the power of Mbeumo, Manchester United still needs to introduce a new center - Hoylen is obviously embarrassed. As Visa showed in Brentford, Mbeumo needs a quality fulcrum partner to fully release.

However, the battle for top centers is extremely fierce, with Osmayen, Isaac, Giocres, Drapp and other goals having more attractive choices than Manchester United. Therefore, Manchester United turned their attention to Wolves' Mattus Cunya, the Brazilian striker was forced to transform into a center this season but shined, able to make a ball on his back and hit the defense line, and is expected to form a fatal combination with Mbeumo.

Signing Mbeumo (can play as a guest center) and Cunha will give Amorin more tactical options. With B Fee, Garnacho and Amad, Manchester United's offensive line will be revitalized and make the opponent unable to defend.

Future Outlook

Mbeumo, who is at his peak, is a super weapon tested by the Premier League. Signing him will mark the end of Manchester United's ten-year transfer failure and usher in a new era. Brentford coach Frank admitted: "We know Mbeumo is having a happy life here, but Brentford is a seller's club. If there is a suitable offer (destined to be high), the deal may come true. "

With the Mbeumo contract expires in 2026, this summer is Brentford's last opportunity to cash out. Facing competitors such as Newcastle, Manchester United must take decisive action. 60 million pounds are worth the price for players who can activate Amorin's offensive system.

Mbeumo can bring goals, creativity, strength and the traditional winner mentality of the Red Devils. The only suspense is: Can this Brentford killer bear the pressure of a giant? This time, if Manchester United gives him a stage to prove himself, they may receive more than imagined returns.
