Man United remain big betting favorites to sign Brentford star Bryan Mbeumo

Whilst quiet on the front of Cameroonian goalscoring talent, Bryan Mbuemo, Premier League side, Man United remain sizeable betting favorites to complete the signing of the Brentford forward the end of this summer transfer window.

Earlier this month, reports emerged detailing how United were exploring a lucrative deal to sign Brentford forward, Mbeumo in a bid to bolster their goal-scoring options up front next season.

And holding talks with the London-based side, United have been given the green light in their pursuit – from Mbuemo, who had informed Brentford’s hierarchy of his intentions to join the Old Trafford side this season, despite many other suitors.

But amid some silence on the front of Mbuemo – and furthermore, talks with Brentford, United still remain sizeable 4/9 betting favorites to sign the Cameroonian right-sided forward.

United’s pursuit of Mbuemo was facing a potential hitch earlier this month, too, however. Given the sacking of Australian manager, Ange Postecoglou from Tottenham Hotspur, the capital club acted fast to appoint Brentford manager, Thomas Fran,k into that same role in North London.

And as such, links on social media suggested Mbuemo had made a change of heart on a potential move to Old Trafford, preferring a move to Spurs in a bid to link up with Danish head coach, Frank, who gave him his break in English football.

Tipped across the board to add a much-needed attacking option to Man United’s forward output next season, it comes with good reason that Mbuemo is so well-revered in the Premier League.

Nominated to win the Player of the Season award, the Cameroonian notched a stunning 20 goals in the top flight last season, to go with eight assists – in a side without former free-scoring striker, Ivan Toney, too.

But adding to their forward line already this season, Man United confirmed the signing of Wolverhampton Wanderers forward, Matheus Cunha, to the tune of potentially £62.5 million to boot.

Expected to play on the left of a two ‘number 10’ system employed by Portuguese head coach, Ruben Amorim, next season, Cunha laid on his fair share of goals last season at Molineux, and adding 17 goals in all competitions, the Brazilian star certainly knows where the net is, too.

Facing a race against other competition, both domestically and globall,y to sign an out-and-out striker next season, Man United have so far failed in their pursuit for two long-mooted targets.

Notably, English youngster, Liam Delap, has chosen to join Chelsea following their route to the UEFA Champions League, with the London club triggering his minimum fee release clause with the relegated Ipswich Town earlier this summer.

To boot, Swedish striker, Viktor Gyokeres, who is expected to depart Amorim’s former side, Sporting Lisbon, this summer, doesn’t seem to be targeting a move to Man United.

Instead, the former Coventry striker is eyeing a continued stint in UEFA Champions League competition. And to boot, Arsenal have been sniffing around the free-scoring striker, as well as emerging Slovenian talent, Benjamin Sesko – currently plying his trade in the Bundesliga with Red Bull Leipzig.
