💸❗️Jamie Jackson: The initial fee between Manchester United and Brentford is understood to be agreed, with the clubs discussing add-ons that may take the overall deal close to Brentford’s £65M valuation.

❗️The Guardian: Matheus Cunha is believed to earn a basic £150,000 a week at Manchester United, so Bryan Mbeumo's salary would match this.

👑📰 Fabrizio Romano: Bryan Mbeumo has told Brentford that going to Manchester United is a dream move for him and he would like to go as soon as possible.

👕 The new home kit will be unveiled during the Summer Series match against Bournemouth, debuting at Old Trafford against Fiorentina.

‼️ Rob Downson (ESPN): Barcelona has inquired about Marcus Rashford's situation and indicated its preference for a loan that could require Manchester United to pay part of his salary.

👑💭 If you could bring back one, who would it be: Prime Rooney or Prime Van Persie?

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇨🇲 Sky Sports: Bryan Mbeumo's goals and assists earned Brentford 22 points in the @Premier League last season.

🗣 Laurie Whitwell (The Athletic) on striker targets:

"Ruben Amorim is definitely interested in Viktor Gyokeres. There’s certainly been discussions around Victor Osimhen. They are definitely looking at strikers. Hugo Ekiteke has done well for Frankfurt, but they’re different types of strikers aren’t they? Good money being talked about as well and I think it comes down to that.

I think that’s why they wanted to get Matheus Cunha, another forward - Bryan Mbeumo, and they’ll feel comfortable then with the level of goal scoring in that team that gives them a little bit more leverage with the clubs they might be talking with to get strikers from."

❓ On Emi Martinez:

"Manchester United have been in touch with Emi Martinez’s camp. I do believe United are in contact with quite a few players in different positions, they’re assessing the market, what might work, so that’s why you get the Christopher Nkunku links as well for example. Does that mean they’re going to act on that? I don’t think so, certainly not in all cases."

❓ On if Barcelona signing Nico Williams stops the Marcus Rashford to Barcelona story:

"It was very telling wasn’t it, in that interview with the Spanish YouTubers that support Barcelona. You can tell why that interview has happened there, right? He built up the fact that he can play as a number nine, so clearly from his point of view, Nico Williams doesn’t make it terminal that he could go there as well."

🆕📰 Fabrizio Romano: Manchester United are now confident to get Mbeumo deal DONE after progress.
