Regarding Mbeumo, Brentford now face a tough task in replacing the forward after his 20-goal haul last term. has claimed that his side face a near-impossible task should he depart.

He said: “It is clear that if he is to be sold, it must be for a nice, nice amount. It is a lot. Mucho. Really a lot. Then it is clear that it is impossible to replace him one for one.

“It cannot be done. There is a reason why he costs x number of million pounds, and we do not have x number of million pounds to buy for. I would say that I would be surprised if a lot of big clubs don’t look at him.

Who else should Man United sign this summer?

“I would be surprised with what he has to offer. How many wingers score 20 goals for a mid-table club? And then with seven assists plus his work ethic. And his character. All these things mean that he has a lot, so he is a good player.”

United appear unlikely to end their summer shopping at the signing of Mbeumo. They are also keen to sign a new striker ahead of next term - the latest name emerging as former and hitman Aleksandar Mitrovic.
