THOMAS FRANK HAS SINGLED OUT A KEY QUALITY IN BRYAN MBEUMO THAT WILL BENEFIT RUBEN AMORIM AS MANCHESTER UNITED LOOK TO FINALISE A DEAL FOR THE BRENTFORD FORWARD 11:57, 04 Jun 2025 A

seven-word claim by Thomas Frank about Bryan Mbeumo will delight Ruben Amorim as Manchester United aim to tie up a deal for the Brentford striker. The 25-year-old, who hit 20 goals this

season, has been identified by United as their next priority after they completed a deal for Matheus Cunha from Wolves. While Arsenal and Newcastle have been credited with an interest in

Mbeumo, the Cameroon star is believed to favour a move to Old Trafford. The deal is not yet done, with Mbeumo reportedly demanding £250,000 per week. But if United do get their man, he will

not just pep up the team’s previously light-weight frontline but also inject some much-needed leadership. Bruno Fernandes and Harry Maguire are regarded as United's only ‘leaders’

within the squad. That trait persuaded United to extend the latter’s contract to the summer of 2026 while the former looks set to stay put after rebuffing a lucrative offer from the Saudi

Pro League. Speaking in January, Amorim said: “When you look at our team, we are starving for leaders on the pitch. He [Maguire] is a leader. He has to improve that part and he has to

improve our game. We are happy to continue with him." According to Frank, Mbeumo, who has been with the Bees since 2019, offers leadership as well as goals. The Danish coach declared in

2023: “He’s definitely a leader in the making.” Article continues below Frank also said: “He drives training with his attitude and work ethic and determination to want to get better and

win.” United have already made one move in the transfer market this summer by agreeing a deal for Cunha. There will also be departures to make way for new blood while remaining within

financial rules. One player who looks set to leave the club for good is Jadon Sancho, although he won’t be joining Chelsea permanently. The Blues are prepared to pay a £5million penalty fee

to avoid an obligation to make his loan permanent. Seemingly in anticipation of his Stamford Bridge exit, Sancho posted on X on Tuesday night: “Grateful for the experience. Big love to

everyone at Chelsea who made me feel at home - team-mates, staff and the fans. Wishing the club all the best moving forward. Truly grateful, thank you Blues.” Article continues below One

player who won't be going anywhere, it seems, is Fernandes, who has turned down a mega-money deal to join Al Hilal, who were reportedly prepared to pay him up to £700,000 per week.

Fernandes has confirmed he had rejected the chance to move on after consulting with Amorim and his family. GET UNITED TRANSFER NEWS AND UPDATES ON WHATSAPP! Our team of Manchester United
