After signing Matheus Cunha, the Red Devils have been quiet in the transfer window while others are busily signing players and preparing for the season ahead.
Talks for Bryan Mbuemo to Manchester United have been hanging up for over a month after Brentford rejected 2 United offers and publicly stated that they won’t accept any fee below €65 million.
This was reportedly fueled by Manchester United activating the €62 million release clause of Matheus Cunha, as Brentford sees Mbuemo as an upgrade of the Brazilian international.
