Club-to-club negotiations are the only issue left to resolve, therefore the Red Devils are still hopeful of signing Mbeumo even if the negotiations have been going on for more than a month.
United focused on Mbeumo after acquiring Matheus Cunha, hoping the Cameroonian international would join Cunha in Ruben Amorim’s attacking trio as the team bolsters their roster for the upcoming campaign.
However with these two attacking reinforcements, questions remain for recruitment in the midfield.

Christian Eriksen has left on a free transfer and Casemiro is aging fast.
In order to raise money for the team and free up £350,000 in weekly salaries, United may decide to sell the midfield player as part of their summer rebuild.
Now reports have come out suggesting the Red Devils have made contact with a Bundesliga midfielder.
As per GiveMeSport, Manchester United have “made initial enquiries” into signing Bayern Munich midfielder Joao Palhinha.

Manchester United make contact to sign Bundesliga midfielder
The Portuguese established himself, with Fulham, as one of the best disruptors in world football, earning him a move to Bavaria last summer.
Despite his talent, Palhinha found it difficult to play regularly under Vincent Kompany, which led to speculation that he might leave.
As a central midfielder, Palhinha would theoretically fit Amorim’s system and serve as a defensive anchor to give Man United’s number 10s more attacking latitude.
This would allow new signing Matheus Cunha and potentially Bryan Mbeumo more freedom to use their abilities in the final third.
Palhinha would fetch between £25 and £30 million from Bayern, according to CaughtOffside, which is less than the sum he was signed for just a year ago.
