The deal comprises an initial £65m fee, to be paid in four instalments, plus a maximum of £6m in potential bonuses.

A deal taking Bryan Mbeumo to Manchester United is being ‘finalised’, with David Ornstein providing all the details on the blockbuster summer transfer. Mbeumo emerged as Man Utd’s No 1 target after they captured Matheus Cunha from Wolverhampton Wanderers for £62.

Manchester United placed their initial bid worth £55 million in early June. However, it was rebuffed and followed by a £62.5 million offer at the end of the month that also fell short.
