Man United weigh £60m Bryan Mbeumo amid budget limits after missing Liam Delap

Manchester United are actively exploring options to bolster their attacking options after missing out on Liam Delap. The club is weighing a £60 million bid for Brentford's Bryan Mbeumo, though budget constraints following their failure to qualify for next season's Champions League may limit this move.

In addition to Mbeumo, United have reignited interest in Paris Saint-Germain forward Randal Kolo Muani and Crystal Palace's Jean-Philippe Mateta as more affordable alternatives. Kolo Muani, who struggled at PSG before a loan spell at Juventus where he scored eight goals and provided two assists in 19 games, could be available for around £35 million.

"United are also considering a move for Brentford star Bryan Mbeumo, another states, though his price tag of £60m ($81m) could turn them away due to budget constraints after they missed out on a place in next season's Champions League."

Mateta, who has demonstrated Premier League quality with 17 goals in 46 appearances this season and recently won an FA Cup medal, is also on United's radar.

"Mateta now has an FA Cup medal around his neck and demonstrated his Premier League quality yet again in the 2024-25 season, coming up with 17 goals in 46 appearances in all competitions."

The club's financial situation has also ruled out moves for other high-profile targets from Sporting Lisbon, RB Leipzig, and Napoli, emphasizing the need for cost-effective signings.

As Manchester United look to strengthen their squad, the balance between ambition and budget will be crucial in their transfer strategy this summer.
