Mbeumo is the second Manchester United signing of the summer transfer window, but the Red Devils are reportedly looking to make more signings before it shuts.

The Portuguese coach arrived in November, but things worsened, and there was talk of possible relegation. In the end, they survived, but it was a poor season.
A defeat in the Europa League final saw them miss out on European football.
They have brought in Matheus Cunha and Mbeumo to improve a misfiring attack, but fans want more.
They have been linked with Aston Villa striker Ollie Watkins, RB Leipzig attacker Benjamin Sesko, Paris Saint-Germain goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma and Valencia midfielder Javi Guerra.

Which striker has Bryan Mbeumo approved?
The Athletic reported that Man United have narrowed down their striker options to Watkins and Sesko.
When asked about his former teammate Ollie Watkins, Mbeumo praised him highly for his qualities and contributions. Aston Villa value the England international at £60 million (KSh 10.3 billion).
“We had Ollie, who I got to know over time. I think he's really complete [as a player]. He's like a complete striker. He can do a lot of things," he told Man United legend Rio Ferdinand.
“He can drop with the set or go in behind and I think this is really good for me or for a winger, because you can use his space to fit in there. And he can combine as well. So I think it's really good."
Watkins has scored 75 Premier League goals, including 16 last season and 19 the season before.
Do Man United fans want Watkins or Sesko?
@UTDgeezer:
"Give me Watkins and let’s move on. Experienced goal scorer."
@beardedfc_:
"Would be happy with either of them. Watkins low risk; Sesko higher ceiling."
@TFBGofficial:
"Watkins has to be the most obvious signing to make in years. Pull the trigger."
@matty_xyz:
"I’d go Watkins. We need now. We need proven. There will be other seskos when we can take them gambles."
Are Man United fans turning on Amorim?
In a related story, we reported that Man United fans appeared to criticise Ruben Amorim for saying they are going to suffer.
The Man United boss oversaw a dreadful run of form last season and repeatedly mentioned suffering.
Amorim and Man United have a difficult start to the season, and the pressure will be on from day one.
