Manchester United’s pre-season preparations have taken another step forward, with Ruben Amorim now intensifying his push for a third major summer addition.
Amorim’s focus has firmly shifted toward ensuring the squad is finalised before they jet off to the United States.
The Portuguese boss has already welcomed Matheus Cunha and Diego Leon to Carrington, but with the Premier League campaign a month away, the club’s hierarchy is working overtime to land their next key target.

United’s recruitment team, under Amorim’s guidance, remains focused on adding a top-level wide attacker with proven Premier League output — a vital piece in the manager’s evolving tactical puzzle.
Supporters had grown concerned in recent days.
However, United have now submitted a £70 million offer to Brentford for Bryan Mbeumo — worth £65m plus £5m in add-ons.
But behind the scenes, it is the player’s own determination that has kept the move alive.
Bryan Mbeumo has made it crystal clear to Brentford that Old Trafford is his only desired destination this summer.

Despite interest from Tottenham and others, the Cameroon international has insisted that United’s latest bid is more than fair and urged the West London club to accept it.

Sources close to the deal suggest Mbeumo’s stance has helped thaw negotiations between the clubs, with fresh optimism emerging that the deal could be wrapped up before the weekend.
This is United’s third formal offer for the right-sided forward after two previous bids of £55m and £62.5m were rejected.
Should Brentford accept, the 25-year-old, is expected to fly out and join the United squad in the United States by Tuesday.
Amorim is desperate to finalise his attacking options before the season kicks off and sees Mbeumo as a game-changing figure capable of thriving in his system.
With the player pushing hard and United standing firm, the transfer is once again gathering serious momentum.
