Manchester United is prepared to pursue the transfer of Bryan Mbeumo as Rasmus Hojlund and Antony are close to leaving Old Trafford.

In a candid admission, Ruben Amorim has stated that his Manchester United squad must come to terms with the immense pressure that comes with wearing the iconic red shirt. The manager’s comments come as the club prepares for a busy summer transfer window, with significant changes on the horizon.

United are reportedly keen on bolstering their attacking options, with Brentford striker Bryan Mbeumo emerging as a key target. The Telegraph has revealed that the Red Devils are ready to enter a bidding war for the £60 million-rated forward, who is also attracting interest from Newcastle and Liverpool.

Mbeumo, 25, is expected to be a hot commodity at the end of the season, and he is high on United’s list of potential signings to enhance Amorim’s squad. The manager is looking to make a strong impression in his first full campaign at Old Trafford, especially after allowing Marcus Rashford and Antony to depart in January for the greater good of the team.

In addition to Mbeumo, United are also eyeing Wolverhampton Wanderers’ Matheus Cunha, who has a £65 million buyout clause. While Cunha has primarily played as a central striker, interest in Mbeumo is separate from any potential deal for the Wolves forward, with the former Troyes man regarded as one of the Premier League’s finest wide players.

Meanwhile, Antony’s future at United is also under scrutiny. The Brazilian winger has been making waves in La Liga with Real Betis after joining on loan, but Atletico Madrid are reportedly keen to secure his services for £34 million this summer. The Mirror has indicated that United may be willing to cut their losses on the £86 million signing from Ajax, who has struggled to find his form at Old Trafford.

Real Betis are hopeful of negotiating another loan deal for Antony, but Atletico’s interest could complicate matters, potentially sparking a bidding war for the 25-year-old.

Another player facing an uncertain future is Rasmus Hojlund. The Danish striker, who has had a challenging second season at United, is reportedly on Juventus’ radar. The Express has reported that the Italian giants are in discussions with United regarding a potential move for Hojlund, who has only managed four goals in 29 Premier League appearances this term.

With Amorim prioritising the acquisition of a new striker this summer, Hojlund’s future at Old Trafford appears increasingly precarious, just two years after his £72 million transfer from Atalanta.

In managerial news, West Bromwich Albion are eyeing Tottenham’s assistant coach Ryan Mason as a potential replacement for Tony Mowbray. The Sun has suggested that Mason’s future may hinge on Tottenham’s progress in the Europa League, as the 33-year-old is part of Ange Postecoglou’s staff and is focused on the club’s success in the competition.

West Brom are prepared to wait for Mason, but any delay could open the door for other candidates to take the lead in the race for the managerial position, following Mowbray’s sacking after a disappointing run of form.
