It seems that everyone has given up on Manchester United due to their slow progress in this summer window, they made progress in the Mbeumo deal by offer figures close to Brentford's valuation yet no ones talking about it, Manchester United have submitted a third bid of about £65m + £5m as add ons which is equivalent to the £70m package Brentford are requesting for. That offer is enough for the deal to be concluded this week, it's very fair enough and if Brentford fail to accept it this time around then it's best for Manchester United to pull out and focus on other options instead of dragging it further, it's up to a month and this deal is supposed to have been concluded before they leave for preseason.

Congratulations to all Manchester United team and the fans, after more than 40 days of signing Mbeumo the deal is finally done today, as a Manchester United fan I have already given up on this deal because Brentford has been asking for more money for letting Mbeumo joining Manchester United, Mbeumo is a good player and I know that his signing is going to help Manchester United in terms of scoring goals and attacking.

I don't really understand why everyone is so excited about Mbeumo's move to United, because United gave away a huge amount of money, over €80m for one player and now United's transfer options have been reduced. Until United sell someone for good money, there may not be any other big purchases and Mbeumo will now be competing with Amod Diallo, one of United's most promising players at the moment.
I think selling or renting Heylund and Zirkise and buying 2-3 young and promising midfield and attacking players, would be better than just buying a very good forward like Mbeumo.
Besides Mbeumo played at Brentford and the whole team working for his goals and it remains to be seen if he can play at United like he did at Brentford.
