June 12th, TheAthletic reporter Laurie Whitwel revealed when participating in the program that Manchester United expects to sign Brentford winger Mbemo this summer, but the negotiation process will take some time.

"Manchester United's first offer against Mbemo was £45 million plus £10 million floating clause, but I think the transfer fee that Brentford wants is closer to the amount of Manchester United signing Cunya. After research, they felt that since Manchester United can pay such a fee for Cunya and Mbemo can also score goals, so the clubs of both sides are now in the stage of deciding the transfer fee. I think all parties think that the deal can be reached, but it will not be finalized soon. I personally think that the deal will be finalized in the end. . "

When asked whether Frank's coaching Tottenham would shake the players, Laurie Whitwel added: "No, I don't think so. I believe that the players have known about Frank's possible joining Tottenham, but this incident has been circulating for a long time. If he really wants to go to Tottenham, he would have been able to act long ago. Mbemo has a clear plan and knows how he can adapt to Manchester United's tactical system. "I know some people will be puzzled about Manchester United's status, why he chose Manchester United but has no European game to play. But it is obvious that from the perspective of personal brand improvement, there are also the opportunity to play at Old Trafford Stadium, the pressure and attention that comes with it. I think Manchester United is still attractive to many players. ”
