Man Utd transfer news: Bryan Mbeumo issue remains as Rashford sends message

Manchester United still have work to do in the transfer market and remain in talks with Brentford over a deal for forward Bryan Mbeumo as Ruben Amorim hopes to strengthen his team

Manchester United's summer started with a bang when they signed Matheus Cunha in a £62.5million deal. The Brazilian was secured from Wolves in June and has now even started pre-season training under Ruben Amorim.

But while Cunha has plenty of new team-mates to meet, only one is in the same position as him. The only other player to be added to the first team fold is Diego Leon.

United have seen two bids rejected for Bryan Mbeumo and deals have become hard to come by. The Red Devils have not been able to supplement their funds either, with Antony, Marcus Rashford, Tyrell Malacia, Jadon Sancho and Alejandro Garnacho all still at the club rather than sold.

Amorim hoped to have much of his squad put in place in time for United's pre-season tour. That deadline now looms over any prospect of a new signing and currently seems unlikely to be met.

Mirror Football takes a look at the latest United transfer news and rumours around Old Trafford.

Mbeumo latest

Manchester United and Brentford remain far apart in their negotiations over Bryan Mbeumo. The Athletic claim that the gap between clubs is a 'considerable' one.

Talks are said to be ongoing but a deal is 'not imminent' andthere have been 'no significant developments' in negotiations. It's understood that United's offer of a £55m fixed fee plus £7.5m in add-ons falls short of the £65m Brentford are demanding, with the Bees wanting most, if not all, of the money paid up front.

Rashford message

Marcus Rashford has made it clear he is still training hard despite not being in Ruben Amorim's plans as he searches for a move this summer. The forward has posted his latest workouts on his Instagram story as he trains away from United's first team.

Rashford, Jadon Sancho, Alejandro Garnacho, Antony and Tyrell Malacia have all been told to report for training at 5pm, when Amorim and the rest of the first team have already departed from their day's work. And England international wasted little time in getting started.

The 27-year-old posted videos of him undertaking various exercises including pull ups and bench pressing while lying on a medicine ball as he steps up his preparations.

United eye surprise move

Manchester United are considering a shock deal for former Bayern Munich midfielder Corentin Tolisso. According to reports in France United have made 'initial contact' with the Tolisso's representatives over the possibility of a move.

The Red Devils are in the market for a new midfielder this summer having allowed Christian Eriksen's contract to expire. And according to L'Equipe, the Lyon star is said to be open to making the switch.

It is also claimed that while Lyon were hoping to build their team around the France star, their financial issues could see them sanction a move for the 30-year-old. Tolisso is the club's best paid star and is valued at over £8.7m.
