Manchester United have already splashed the cash in the summer transfer window and are aiming to make Bryan Mbeumo their third signing of the window but are still aiming for more
Manchester United still want to make THREE more signings once they get a move for Bryan Mbeumo complete. The Red Devils have made the Brentford forward one of their priority targets for the coming weeks.
United have already approached the Bees for a deal but as yet, there is no agreement for the forward to move to Old Trafford. There may be one slight issue given Tottenham have forced themselves into contention, with Brentford boss Thomas Frank closing in on a switch to North London.
But United are still pressing ahead with a move. And once Mbeumo completes a switch, the club will then move onto their other targets.
United are interested in signing a new goalkeeper. Andre Onana has struggled to convince since his arrival from Inter Milan, and Gianuigi Donnarumma has emerged as a contender for a move - according to French reports - with just a year remaining on his contract with current side Paris Saint-Germain.
Speaking recently about his future, he said: “New deal or leaving? We will see what happens… I don't know. It's time to enjoy this magic season now. I will go on holiday and then we will see.”
That situation may well not revolve itself until next summer, particularly given United's finances at present means they're unlikely to be able to pay anything like what PSG would want to part ways with the Italian 12 months early. But regardless, a new man between the sticks is likely to still arrive as the club have interest in bringing in a new No.2 as well.
At the other end of the pitch, United are also keen to sign a new striker after their goalscoring woes last term. Viktor Gyokeres is a long-term target, while Victor Osimhen could also be an option after rejecting a move to Saudi Arabia.
However, there is a slight issue when it comes to a new forward, with Rasmus Hojlund claiming that he is hoping to stay at the club beyond this summer.
He said: “I have a contract until 2030, so I expect to play for Manchester United. I'm looking forward to going on a summer vacation, and then I'm fully dedicated to the project that's underway.
"I know I can't get much out of reading things. I know what the facts are, and that is that I have a contract with Manchester United until 2030. I expect to play there, so I'm just getting ready for some summer vacation and then hopefully a good pre-season."

Finally, a new midfielder is also on United’s shopping list for the remainder of the window. Atalanta star Ederson has been linked in the past and if it's not him then a similar all-action type should arrive.
The Red Devils are determined to bid farewell to a few players to bolster their funds. Marcus Rashford, Antony and Jadon Sancho are all expected to leave the club following loan spells away from Old Trafford, with the trio all available for sale if the price is right. United's issue is all three have good contracts that they won't just want to give up.
Almost certainly out the door is Alejandro Garnacho, who has been linked with Napoli, and has been told he has no future at the club under Amorim.
