Manchester United eye Brentford striker Mbemo

It has recently been reported that Manchester United are interested in Brentford striker Brian Mbemo and have made an offer to the opposing club. This suggests that United are looking at tweaking their attacking lineup, especially now that the future of another striker in the squad, Hoylund, is uncertain.

According to a sports outlet called Fichajes, United are willing to pay a transfer fee of over £54 million for Mbemo. This is not a small amount of money and you can see that United really wants to sign him. The move comes just before United’s upcoming UEFA Cup final against Tottenham Hotspur. The result of this match is very important because if United win, they will be able to play in the Champions League next season. It also has a big impact on the team’s next reinforcement plan.

Speaking of Højlund, the Danish player has not had a good season. He has made 50 appearances in all competitions and has only scored 10 goals. Such statistics have made many fans begin to wonder if he is really fit to stay at United in the long run. After all, as a main striker, the number of goals scored is still very crucial.

On the other hand, Mbemo’s performance this season is quite bright. Although his team Brentford just lost 2-3 in a game against Fulham, he personally scored his 19th Premier League goal. This achievement is fifth in the entire league, with only superstars like Harland and Salah ahead of him. And it’s worth noting that he’s the only player in the top five who doesn’t play for one of the Premier League’s top seven teams.

Mbemo is 25 years old and a Cameroonian. Not only does he play up front, but he can also play on the wing, a multi-positional ability that is invaluable to coaches. Especially on the counter-attack, he is fast, runs aggressively and can work well with midfielder Bruno Fernandes. The latter can often deliver key passes, and if the two can form a tacit understanding, it could give United more offensive firepower.

However, United are not putting all their hopes on Mbemo at the moment. They are also keeping an eye on two other players; Liam Delap from Ipswich and Wolves’ Mateusz Cunha. If United do well in their next games, especially if they win the UEFA Cup final, then Mbemo could be just one of many options.

Of course, if United don’t make it to the Champions League, then their budget in the transfer market could be reduced, and that’s when Mbemo might become a key target for them. Judging from his current form, plus his ability to play multiple positions, he is indeed a good candidate for United to rebuild their offensive line.

Overall, the addition of Mbemo may bring new energy to United. His speed, flexibility and goal-scoring ability can make up for some of the shortcomings of the current team in the attacking end. Whether or not he can join the team will depend on the results of United’s upcoming matches and the progress of the transfer negotiations.
