Is he really 25? He looks like closer to 30 imo.

Yeah personally I only listen to djsjsbakabhsmsJaha
In Rashford, Sancho, Antony and Garnacho we have lost 4 attackers. We don't really have a choice but to bring in two players.How many no10s we need?
He is a very good player but seriously, buy a striker or two, defensive midfielder or two, full backs or new gk. Another no10 (with Cunha all but signed) is the last thing which we need.
My only reservations with Mbuemo is he's a left footed player who plays on the right side of the attack. Our current most talented player is a left footed player who plays on the right side of the attack.
Ultimately you can't turn down a player of Mbuemo's quality for a reasonable price when our attack is this bad, but not sure how Amad and Mbuemo fit into the same team long term. Even in Amorim's system, with Mbuemo in attack and Amad behind him at RWB, is having two inverted players on the same flank ideal? Does Amad have the physical profile of a player you can trust defensively long term at wing back?
I expect Amorim will be gone by December anyway and the wing back experiment will be over, so we should keep that possibility in mind.
Having said all that, Mbuemo sign him up.
We basically spent an entire season unable to score. Our entire attack needs to be completely rebuilt. Considering we're going to try to sell Rashford, Sancho, Antony and Garnacho for sure, plus almost certainly hoping for offers for Hojlund (and perhaps Zirkzee as well), Mount's injury problems, Mainoo not really being a great fit, Bruno arguably being better in a deeper role in this system...it basically just leaves us with Amad (who himself might end up playing often at RWB).How many no10s we need?

Striker will obviously be a priority as well, but getting two #10's in who can add a good amount of goals would completely change the outlook of our team.
Then I owe you an apology and admit you was right
Any decent links?
Yeah, it's difficult to tell with compilations, but unless he spends the rest of the game lying flat on his face, he looks good.
Strong, fast with the ball, great first time finishes. Just what we need.
James Ducker just said in his article today that we are interested in Mbeumo.
Amads injury this season completely derailed us. So having two left footed attacking players who like to play on the right makes sense.
Surely even the doubters have to be encouraged at the idea we get Cunha and Mbuemo in this summer?
I obviously would like a CF too, but you could see how having these two alongside him might raise hojlund's game a few notches too.

Oh you think Mbeumo plays RWB? I didn’t really consider it admittedly but I suppose it’s an option.
His contract expires in 2030 I think. The problem is we are not owned by fans but by ruthless business people. They have put a price on him and if that price is matched he's gone.
Could be wrong obviously but I trust the guy to not make up random things on the podcast. He also said that Onana, Bruno, and Garnacho have been asked about by agents and also have a set price.
We will sign a striker too. No doubt.
I don't think him at RAM with Amad at RWB will work as well as many are thinking because they take up similar positions on the right flank. But we do need better attackers and I am a big fan of his.
I expect Dalot to be our first choice RWB next season, so if Mbeumo joins, Amad will need to learn to play on Cunha's side behind the striker too.

Everyone has a price, sure, but I don't believe that Amad's price would be particularly enticing to other clubs.
More that it'd be Mbeumo or Amad for R10 with Amad or Dalot for RWB. In saying that, Mbeumo would probably be more suited to RWB than a lot of attackers so I could see him and Amad perhaps interchanging at times when they are both on the field.
Sorry, but are you sure you're not mixing it up with what he said about Garnacho? That's a very bold claim and odd thing to say, there's absolutely no chance we sell Amad.
He’s strong and quick, carries the ball well. I’d definitely not be describing him at good technical player though. What makes you say he’s not raw in that aspect?
I don’t think a guy who bagged 20 goals this season will be joining a club to play wingback
Ducker reporting this as well. I like we’re not stopping at Cunha plus a striker in terms of bolstering the attack. Also think this means Amad RWB and Bruno will play deeper if he stays
I think that stating absolutely everyone is for sale (even Amad) is a tactic to not crash the price of players we absolutely do want to get rid of.
Would be a great buy. Class player.
Goldilocks pricing, of course!
"You can have Malacia for £6m, Garnacho for £60m, or Amad for £600m. One in the middle, right? Go on then."
Would be really excited if we get Cunha and Mbeumo, it's quite unthinkable they'd want to join us.
Not like United is a massive club or anything
We are crap, and have been for some time.
And yet still a massive club
Yeah but look at why he got them. It was petulant.
It was much worse than anything Bruno has done and the redcafe loved to lose its shit over that
Sure.. so is Milan, but they will still struggle to sign some calibre of players.
Many players have joined "our" project the last few years, I'd argue it only helped their pockets and exposure but not so much their ambition and career.
So it surprises me that after years and years, we still are attractive to these players. Sure it also depends on who's actually interested and can afford them.

Have you watched us this season? All we have is Bruno and Amad and you can argue that they aren't best played there.
And despite massive mess we still win stuff then and there.
A huge amount of our problems this season have come due to a completely misfiring attack. These players would hopefully be looking at that thinking that they'd be able to change that themselves.
AC Milan don't have the financial muscle at present, and really havent for 20 years or so.
Thats the only reason they struggle to sign players..
the self loathing on this forum sometimes
I am not saying that we don't need better. I am talking about depth. We will not sell Mount, we will not sell Amad, we have Cunha. On top of that we have Bruno, Mainoo, Garnacho, Zirkzee can play it (if injury hit us).
Depending of sales of course that i want Mbuemo/Cunha combo. But striker and creative dmc are (for me) absolute priority. If we can buy them all......yeah, sure. I am all for Mbuemo.
If United can't find a better CF than Delap then another attacker for the RW becomes a higher priority imo.
Also Amad missed around 25 games last season and about 15 this season due to injuries, so he isn't made of the same stuff as Bruno/Garnacho.
United will need some help/competition for the RW as relying just on Amad will be a risk.

What would Brian Mbeumo do?
Zirkzee up top, Cunha and Mbeumo behind would be a really good front three. Zirkzee can hold the ball up well and has good vision for playing in the runners. Meanwhile Amad and Dorgu as WBs providing that width and stretching the play. Whoever we end up with in CM behind… it’s not a bad XI.
Manchester united are one of the biggest football clubs in world football. Genuinely able to talk about themselves amongst any other club in Europe in terms of stature.
Imagine you are a very good player in a mid table team and you back yourself to be a difference maker in returning such a club to it's former on-pitch glories? I think both Cunha and Mbuemo would have a very positive view of any offer to join united and so would any of their current team mates.
I'd also say there isn't one player at any club outside City Liverpool or Chelsea, who wouldn't seriously consider a genuine chance to play for Manchester united if it was offered this summer.
