Move over Geovany: Man Utd should now sign "unplayable" PL star with 15 goals, dream player at right wing-back

Manchester United are preparing for a busy summer transfer window with plenty of changes.

The Red Devils are likely to make several signings. A new right wing-back could be among the priorities.

Manager Ruben Amorim was keen on a reunion with Sporting CP’s Geovany Quenda, but that is no longer on the cards.

The 17-year-old has agreed to join Premier League rivals Chelsea in a surprise deal in 2026.

The teenager has already undergone his medical. United need to respond to the setback by swooping for Bryan Mbeumo.

The Cameroon international has been in sensational form for Brentford this campaign with 15 goals and six assists.

Mbeumo is predominantly a right-sided winger. He has also impressed with his defensive contributions for the Bees.

The 25-year-old has won almost five duels per league game with 4.1 recoveries, 1.3 clearances and 1.2 tackles on average.

The Troyes graduate has likewise excelled with his tireless work rate and high pressing in the final third.

Mbeumo, described as ‘unplayable‘ by Bees manager Thomas Frank, has all the traits to become United’s next right wing-back.

The winger will enter the last year of his Bees contract this summer, but the west London outfit have the option for 12 months.

Hence, Brentford are in a good position to negotiate. He is valued at £42 million by Transfermarkt, but the Bees could hold out for £50m to sanction his sale.

United were reportedly quoted a similar figure for Quenda earlier this year. It appears a no-brainer decision to secure Mbeumo’s services this summer.

The Red Devils are bound to face fierce competition from other elite Premier League teams, and they must be proactive to win the race for his signature.
