Mbemo will wear the number 19 after passing the medical with Manchester United! Amorim has requested a quick purchase of a striker and is in contact with the Paris forward.

As reported by Italian transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, the 25-year-old Mbemo completed the key stages of the transfer process on Saturday by passing a medical with Manchester United. He will sign a contract with the Red Devils until 2030, along with an option for an extra year. Allegedly, the one-year extension was initiated by Manchester United.

With a transfer fee of £71 million, Mbemo becomes the third most expensive African player in history, following Victor Osimhen at £72 million and Nicolas Pépé. During personal contract negotiations, Mbemo confirmed he would wear the number 19 shirt, just like he did for six years at Brentford. It is said that Mbemo prefers a plain number to avoid excessive expectations.

Amorim hopes to finalize the new signing before the tour in the United States, but he may have to accept the reality that only Cunha and Mbemo will complete their transfers on time. The UK's Daily Mirror reports that Amorim's patience is wearing thin regarding the slow pace of Manchester United's signings.

He had hoped that Manchester United would sign a new striker by now; however, it took the club six weeks to finalize Mbemo's transfer. While he understands that Sir Jim Ratcliffe and the INEOS team do not want to pay the "Manchester United tax," they ultimately spent £71 million and delayed signing a striker.

Amorim knows he needs to quickly integrate new players into the team to have a chance of getting the struggling Manchester United back on track. Right now, he feels as if one of his hands is tied, with less than a month until the new Premier League season starts and no clear candidates for a new striker.

British media reports that both Manchester United and Newcastle United have approached Paris Saint-Germain regarding French forward Randal Kolo Muani. The Red Devils have already missed out on Liam Delap, Jérémy Doku, and Osimhen this summer, and Ékitike is reportedly opting for Liverpool. French outlet FootMercato reveals that the Red Devils are now in talks with PSG, potentially looking to acquire Muani.

The 26-year-old Muani was loaned to Juventus last season, scoring 10 goals in 22 matches, including 2 goals in 3 Club World Cup games. However, with Juventus signing Jonathan David for free, it is uncertain whether they will pursue Muani. PSG signed Muani from Frankfurt two years ago for a transfer fee of €75 million plus €15 million in add-ons. Now, they are willing to sell him for just €40 million (£35 million).

Muani has previously stated that he has always dreamed of playing in the Premier League one day. "Honestly, who wouldn't want to play in the Premier League? It's one of the best leagues in the world. You have different dreams, and these are childhood dreams. But I'm not looking for the perfect club or the best club in the world; what I'm really looking for is a club that gives me the chance to showcase myself, win playing time, and most importantly, help me grow."

Other striker options for Manchester United include Ollie Watkins from Aston Villa, Jackson from Chelsea, and Benjamin Šeško from RB Leipzig, but their prices are all higher than Muani's. Manchester United needs to sell players to raise funds for a new striker, but Rashford's loan to Barcelona is free, meaning the club hasn't generated any income, which could affect their ability to make purchases.

Romano revealed that Manchester United has identified the next steps as acquiring a striker and a goalkeeper, with the forward being the priority. However, the transfer of Jackson from Chelsea is considered unlikely. "Manchester United is aware of Jackson's situation; Chelsea is not in a hurry to sell him unless they receive a very high offer, which would allow him to leave. Currently, they haven't started serious discussions, and any negotiations are in the early stages. They still need to decide internally which striker to sign first, then focus on the goalkeeper."
