However, the brilliant news for Mbeumo is that his preferred No. 19 is indeed available at Old Trafford. Last worn by Raphaël Varane for the Red Devils and previously donned by the likes of Amad Diallo, Rashford, Danny Welbeck and Dwight Yorke, it seems likely to be the shirt he takes once his signing is confirmed.

It had been a dismal campaign, United’s worst finish in the top flight (15th) since they were relegated in the 1973-74 season and without the consolation of a cup win after Amorim’s side were beaten 1-0 by Tottenham Hotspur in the Europa League final.

Manchester United have made a £69m former player of Ruben Amorim’s their ‘main target’ after completing the signing of Bryan Mbeumo from Brentford. The Red Devils have made just two signing so far this summer with Brazilian forward Matheus Cunha arriving from Wolves for £62.5m, while Diego Leon joined from Paraguayan side Cerro Porteno for £3.3m.

Bryan Mbeumo has joined Manchester United to boost their firepower options but does Ruben Amorim still need to sign a striker?
