Manchester United have set their sights on Brentford forward Bryan Mbeumo in a potential summer transfer shocker, according to reports.
The Red Devils are understood to be monitoring the Cameroon international as manager Erik ten Hag seeks to add more firepower to his squad ahead of the new season.
Mbeumo's Impressive Form
The 24-year-old has been in scintillating form for the Bees, contributing 15 goals and 10 assists across all competitions last campaign. His versatility to play across the front line makes him an attractive proposition for United.
Why United Want Him
With Anthony Martial's future uncertain and Jadon Sancho struggling for consistency, Ten Hag sees Mbeumo as an ideal candidate to provide competition for places in United's attack.
The French-born winger's Premier League experience and work rate align perfectly with the Dutch manager's philosophy.
Potential Transfer Fee
Brentford are likely to demand around £40-50 million for their star attacker, who still has three years remaining on his contract at the Gtech Community Stadium.
United may need to offload players first to meet Financial Fair Play regulations before making a formal approach.
Competition for Signature
Several other top-flight clubs are also monitoring Mbeumo's situation, meaning United could face stiff competition if they decide to formalise their interest.
The coming weeks will prove crucial as the transfer window heats up across Europe.
