Ruben Amorim’s summer transfer plans continue to pick up pace, but Manchester United face growing uncertainty in the market.
With several key departures expected, the pressure is on United to land top attacking reinforcements before the new season begins.
United have been chasing Bryan Mbeumo and as the Brentford squad undergoes major restructuring, United’s hopes of landing their man could hinge on a decision involving a different forward.

And with Newcastle now circling, time is running out to get the deal done.
According to The Athletic, Newcastle United are exploring a deal to sign Yoane Wissa from Brentford, and that could have serious consequences for Manchester United’s chase for Bryan Mbeumo.
United have made two bids for Mbeumo so far, both of which have been turned down by Brentford, who are reluctant to let both of their top attackers go in the same window.
With Wissa’s potential exit now gathering momentum, Brentford are expected to hold firm on Mbeumo, effectively shutting the door on a third United attempt.

Yoane Wissa was the Premier League’s top scorer excluding penalties last season, notching 19 goals in 35 matches.
He is under contract until June 2026, with an additional one-year extension option, making him a valuable asset for the Bees.
Newcastle are yet to formally approach Brentford, but talks are expected soon, especially after they dropped their interest in Eintracht Frankfurt’s Hugo Ekitike after their €80 million (£70 million) proposal was rejected.
Meanwhile, Wissa’s exit would mark another shift in Brentford’s summer of change, following the departure of manager Thomas Frank to Tottenham Hotspur.
Any sale would leave Mbeumo as their last remaining star attacker, further complicating United’s transfer plans.
Ruben Amorim has made it clear he wants to add pace and versatility in wide areas, but Brentford’s stance could force the Red Devils to shift focus quickly.
United must now act decisively or risk missing out altogether.
