Ruben Amorim likes to deploy a left-footed right winger in the CAM position of his 3-4-2-1 formation, and Francisco Trincao was a key player for him at Sporting CP.
However, Manchester United don’t have many left-footed right-sided forwards. Antony was an option, but he was allowed to join Real Betis on a loan deal in January after failing to prove his worth in the Premier League. Though he has been in stellar form in La Liga.

Amad Diallo is another option, but Amorim likes to use him in the RWB position. Therefore, the Red Devils have started exploring the market to sign a new forward.
Caught Offside claim that Man Utd have earmarked Brentford star, Bryan Mbeumo, as a serious option and are preparing to submit an initial offer to hire him.
The Bees’ boss, Thomas Frank, has said that the West London club are a selling club, so they are ready to sell Mbeumo this summer and want around £60m-£65m.
The 25-year-old’s current contract with Brentford will expire in 2026, but there is an option to extend his deal for a year further.
Man Utd aren’t the only club looking at signing the Cameroonian, as Arsenal, Liverpool, Tottenham Hotspur, and Newcastle United are also considering making a move for him. But, it appears the Old Trafford club are ahead of other sides in this race.
Mbeumo has been enjoying a productive campaign this season, scoring 18 goals and notching up six assists in 35 Premier League appearances.
The African is currently the fifth-best scorer in the league this term behind Mohamed Salah, Alexander Isak, Erling Haaland, and Chris Wood.
He has proven his worth in the English top flight in recent years and is currently at the right stage of his career to take the next step.
Hence, the 25-year-old might be a great coup for United should they purchase him. What do you think?
