Why Manchester United agreed to pay a premium for Mbeumo, how the negotiations played out and how they hope he will prove money well spent

Manchester United have finally agreed a deal to sign Brentford forward Bryan Mbeumo, a report has confirmed. Having failed with two bids—£55 million ($73.8 million) and then £62.5 million ($83.8 million)—progress on this deal appeared to grind to a halt before United submitted a third offer on Thursday which met Brentford’s asking price.

Yet finding someone to take a lot of his big wage packet is a coup considering Amorim wants nothing to do with the player.Barca have incredible talent out wide, with Lamine Yamal and Raphinha both earning Ballon d'Or talk during the side's La Liga triumph last season.
