Manchester United is looking for a 55 million yuan purchase of Salah, reorganizing the frontcourt trident! Selling Garnacho can raise money

After Manchester United failed to compete for the UEFA Cup, the transfer budget this summer will be greatly affected. But Spanish media said that Ruben Amorin still wants to buy another striker, and the club has already made a offer to buy Brentford right winger Brian Mbemo.

Spain's "Fichajes Transfer Network" reported that Manchester United has made a offer of nearly 55 million pounds (65 million euros) for Mbemo. It is said that Amorin and the transfer department both recognize the ability of the Cameroonian winger. The 25-year-old Mbemo mainly plays the right winger against the feet and can also play in the middle. He has scored 20 goals in 37 Premier League games this season and has 8 assists. The league's 20-goal mark is the data that the Red Devils have not achieved in many years.

In the Premier League scorer list, Mbemo, who is 171cm tall, scored fewer goals than Salah (28 goals), Isaac (23 goals) and Haaland (21 goals), and tied with Chris Wood, ranking fifth.

Brentford coach Thomas Frank admitted that their club is a sell-off club, suggesting that it may not hinder Mbemo's transfer. The contracts of "Bee Legion" with Mbemo and his forward partner Joan Savi are only one year away, but they all have one year priority renewal terms. So they either successfully renew their contracts or they will be sold this summer, just like they used to deal with Watkins, Ben Rahma, David Raya and Ivan Tony.

Frank said: "I can definitely understand the interest in Mbemo, and other teams should be interested in him. He is at his best age and scored 20 goals this season. I naturally want to keep him, but we are a sales club, so if someone offers the right price he will leave."

However, Brentford may ask for a high price of £60 million, and the team spent only £5 million (6.5 million) when introducing Mbemo from Ligue 2 team Troyes, which can definitely make a big profit. People also think Mbemo is ready to face the bigger challenge and join the big club.

Former Chelsea player and commentator "talkSPORT" Jason Candy called Mbemo the "mini Mo Salah". In his 242 games for Brentford, he contributed a total of 70 goals and 51 assists, fully demonstrating his ability in English football. Not only that, Mbemo is also very dedicated off the court. British media disclosed that he spent money to hire a chef to ensure that his diet and other life details are just right.

Brentford finally ranked 10th in the season and missed the European competition next season. Therefore, Manchester United's obstacles to getting Mbemo were reduced by one. His strength is guaranteed. Before scoring 20 goals this season, he has scored 9 goals in the Premier League for two consecutive years. In terms of assists, Mbemo has maintained a steady level of 7 or 8 assists for three consecutive seasons.

After Manchester United missed the European game, Garnacho, who had a falling out with Amorin, will be sold, and he can bring "pure profit" as a youth training player. With the transfers from Rashford, Anthony and Sancho, Hoylund and Zilkerze may also be sold at the same time, and Manchester United has the opportunity to completely change the structure of the front line. If you sell B Fee, Andre Onana and Kobe Meno again, the funds will be more abundant. Another option for Manchester United is Antoine Semenyo from Bournemouth, who is said to be as high as £70 million. Former Manchester United chief scout McBrown revealed that Manchester United is indeed interested in Mbemo and Semenjo, and Amorin is an admirer of the two. However, Manchester United will definitely not sign Mbemo and Seymour's appointment at the same time, and will decide to sign a player first after preliminary negotiations.

Brown analyzed: "Mbemo and Semenyo are both in Manchester United's attention range. Even if they reach an agreement with Cunha, Amorin hopes to continue to improve their offensive choices. Any of the two will surpass the current players. This is the type of player that Manchester United must consider, because real elite players will not want to join the current Manchester United. This is not disrespectful to Mbemo or Semenyo, they are still top players. Manchester United will negotiate with the two clubs and finally make a choice. They need to determine factors such as asking prices and then consider whether to advance one of them."

Red Bull Leipzig's Xavi Simmons is also associated with the transfer to Manchester United, but the 22-year-old Dutch not only hasn't played in the Premier League, but the price is also more expensive than Mbemo, requiring at least 80 million euros, and even rumored to require 135 million euros.

Ligue 1 assist king and Lyon's Rayan Serki are also the rumored target of Manchester United. His advantage is that it is cheap, and it can be sold for 25 million to 40 million euros. However, the new French international has never played in the Premier League, and there is uncertainty.

Among the above-mentioned right-wing players, Mbemo is definitely the strongest person in the overall strength at present. Imagine that the new trident consists of Cunya, Liam Delapp and Mbemo, Amad Diallo retreats to the right wingback, and B Fee turns to the midfield. Manchester United's offensive creativity in the midfield is expected to greatly improve, especially in the "bad" game against weak teams. However, whether Mbemo and Drapp can be convinced to join is another major problem facing the down-and-out Manchester United.
