While Manchester United traveled to the United States for a preseason warm-up match, the club completed an important deal, and Mbemo finally successfully joined, wearing the No. 19 jersey. The deal went through some twists and turns, but Manchester United finally successfully introduced the eye-catching striker and joined with Cunha. I believe they can inject more vitality into Manchester United's offensive line and bring new changes.

According to the latest news, Mbemo's transfer fee is set at £65 million, plus a floating clause of up to £6 million, and the overall transfer amount can reach up to £71 million. The Brentford club said the deal was the largest in their history, setting a club's transfer record. However, with coach Frank joining Tottenham, captain Nolgao transfers to Arsenal, and main goalkeeper Fleken also goes to Leverkusen. Coupled with Mbemo's departure, Brentford's prospects in the new season are undoubtedly facing huge challenges.

For Manchester United, Mbemo's joining not only enriches the team's forward position, but his transfer fee also makes him the eighth-most expensive player in Manchester United's history. Seeing this player transfer fee list, many Manchester United fans may feel complicated and feel a lot of emotion. Although the old captain Maguire has always performed stably, his value has never been regarded as top-notch; while Di Maria and Lukaku have been introduced at high prices, they also have considerable strength, and their "losses" when they left the team were not too much. In contrast, Casemiro's transfer fee has caused a lot of discussion in the outside world. Despite this, Manchester United is still willing to pay a high price for the experienced veteran. As for Anthony, Sancho and Hoylen, their performances are even more elusive.

In this summer, the addition of Cunha and Mbemo made Manchester United's transfer market particularly active. Although Manchester United's signings do not seem particularly expensive compared to some European giants in terms of transfer fees, considering the actual performance of the two new players, the price of £65 million is not an exaggeration. Last year, Cunha scored 15 goals in the Premier League, while Mbemo was even better, scoring 20 goals and contributing 7 assists, and participating in a total of 27 goals, second only to Salah and Isak, and is one of the top strikers in the Premier League.

' ability to adapt to the Premier League and have both goals and assists is undoubtedly an important reason why Manchester United decided to pay such a high price for Mbemo. Looking back on last season, Manchester United's defensive performance was not bad, and even the higher-ranked teams such as Liverpool, Manchester City, Chelsea and Newcastle only conceded 10 goals, but the team's offensive efficiency is a significant problem. Manchester United scored only 44 goals last season. Although they scored 42 goals less than Liverpool, they only scored 9 more goals than Cunha and Mbemo. If the two can solve Manchester United's goal dilemma, the team will not only be expected to qualify for European competitions, but also have a chance to compete in the Champions League.

Speaking of the number of goals, according to statistics from the German Transfer Market, the top few goals in Manchester United in history are Rooney (253 goals), Charlton (245 goals) and Dennis Law (237 goals). Currently, Rashford (138 goals) in the team is the goal-scoring champion among active players. Although he is about to complete a loan, he is only two places away from Ronaldo. However, Rashford's goal count may no longer increase, and Fernandez has scored 98 goals, just one step away from 100 goals, and is expected to become the first active player in Manchester United's history to reach this milestone soon. Although Casemiro, Maguire and others are not frontcourt players, if they are lucky, they may be able to take advantage of the opportunity in the new season to reach the 100-ball mark.

For Mbemo, after joining Manchester United, he specially wrote a touching farewell letter to his old club Brentford, saying that these six years passed by like just six minutes, and he felt very reluctant to leave the Bee. Tactical analysis believes that Mbemo and Diallo can rotate on Manchester United's right, and he can even act as center, while Cunha is mainly responsible for the position on the left. With Amorin's arrival, Manchester United's frontcourt options will be more diverse, and the answers to how to use these two new players will be found on their trip to the United States soon.
