Manchester United are plotting an ambitious double swoop for Brentford's Bryan Mbeumo and Inter Milan's Lautaro Martinez this summer, as Erik ten Hag looks to revitalise his attacking options.
The Red Devils have identified the pair as prime targets to inject pace and goals into their frontline, with the club preparing for a significant overhaul after a disappointing season.
Mbeumo Emerges as Surprise Target
Brentford's Cameroonian winger Bryan Mbeumo has caught United's attention with his impressive performances in West London. The 24-year-old has contributed 9 goals and 6 assists this campaign, showcasing the directness and versatility that Ten Hag admires.
With Antony failing to justify his £85m price tag and Jadon Sancho's future uncertain, Mbeumo could provide a more cost-effective solution on the right flank.
Martinez Remains Long-Term Admiration
Inter Milan captain Lautaro Martinez continues to be linked with Old Trafford, having been on United's radar for several seasons. The World Cup winner has enjoyed another prolific year in Serie A, netting 24 times.
While Inter would demand a hefty fee for their star striker, United's new minority owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe is reportedly willing to back Ten Hag with substantial transfer funds.
Summer of Change at Old Trafford
These potential moves signal United's intent to rebuild their attack, with Anthony Martial expected to depart and question marks over Rasmus Højlund's ability to lead the line alone.
The club's recruitment team believe both Mbeumo and Martinez could complement Højlund's strengths, offering different dimensions to United's forward play.
