Before signing comes the mandatory medical check/test. This tends to be a formality, as much as it is the sure sign that signing is followed. For Manchester United, it is therefore a big day when a medical test is booked in for Saturday.

For Bryan Mbeumo, reports transfer journalist Romano.

Earlier this summer, it became clear that Bryan Mbeumo had chosen a new club. The Cameroonian international with 20 Premier League goals last season, had singled out Manchester United. Nevertheless, negotiations have been going on for weeks, with the negotiators at Brentford and United pressuring each other to blink first. On Friday, there were reports that the clubs have finished arguing.

With a medical test on Saturday, this should be clapped and ready. Manchester United will pay £65 million plus up to £6 million in bonuses, it is reported.

When it still looks like a pure super striker will not land at Old Trafford before the start of the season, the Mbeumo signing will be the most important of the summer. Together with Matheus Cunha, this will be a good start for the United attack.
