Mbeumo is scheduled to take a medical test, Manchester United immediately chasing Diogo Costa

Gilabola.com – Manchester United is getting closer in their efforts to bring Bryan Mbeumo as the second recruitment of this summer. According to reports from journalists Talksport, Alex Crook, the player is scheduled to undergo a medical test at Carrington next week.

This news strengthened the previous report from the Manchester Evening News which said that United had submitted a new offer whose value exceeded 60 million pounds to bring the Brentford striker.

Although it is not yet known exactly what the agreed nominal nominal, Brentford reportedly wanted a payment of around 63 million pounds to release one of their best assets.

This transfer is seen as a crucial step for coach Ruben Amorim, who wants to improve the productivity of the front lines after the disappointing season of the two attackers: Josh Zirczee and Rasmus Hojlund, who only scored a total of seven goals in the English League.

Mbeumo is projected to be an important pillar in Amorim’s soccer strategy, especially to support the formation and intense pressing that he wants to apply at Old Trafford.

With the preseason season will start soon, the success of bringing in players earlier giving Amorim the opportunity to adapt tactics as a whole with new recruits.

Meanwhile, the list of players who can be removed is also in the spotlight. Names like Marcus Rashford, Jadon Sancho, and Alejandro Garnacho began to enter the radar for sale or loaned, in order to open financial space and a more efficient squad composition.

Diogo Costa Entering Radar

After completing Mbeumo’s transfer business, Manchester United’s focus will reportedly shift to the goalkeeper sector. The name Diogo Costa from FC Porto is one of the options being considered.

Journalist Anil Kandola said that the Portuguese goalkeeper was “the possibility of being monitored”, especially if there is a gap in the club’s budget to realize it.

Although Andre Onana reportedly still wanted to survive at Old Trafford even though he was in demand by AS Monaco, United seemed to remain on guard. Diogo Costa, which has a release clause of Rp 1.4 trillion, is believed to be a significant addition if the transfer can be implemented.

Costa is known as an important figure under the crossbar Porto, with a sharp reflex and accurate ball distribution – quality that is very suitable for the modern football approach carried by Amorim. At the age of 25, he has proven its quality both at the club level and the Portugal national team.

If United succeed in securing Costa services, they will strengthen the back line foundation significantly and increase healthy competition in the goalkeeper position.
