Bryan Mbeumo has talked Manchester United 's alleged interest in signing Aston Villa forward Ollie Watkins. In recent weeks, Mbeumo has joined Matheus Cunha in significantly strengthening Ruben Amorim 's attack ahead of the new Premier League season.

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.
