A former MU player believes that his former team could end the next season with a higher position than Arsenal, but only on the condition that the Reds completed two large contracts in the summer transfer window.
Share on the personal X page, Demetri Mitchell – who once had a appearance for MU – stated: “If Man United get Mbeumo and Gyokeres, they will surpass Arsenal next season. That's true”.
Although this statement is controversial, it shows that the confidence of the duo attacked Bryan Mbeumo – Viktor Gyokeres can make MU attack extremely scary, especially in the context of the future of stars like Marcus Rashford, Jadon Sancho or Antony is being questioned.
Up to now, MU is still promoting the MBEumo deal from Brentford. According to the latest information, MU has sent “bees” to propose to improve, with a total value of more than 60 million pounds to recruit Mbeumo.
Earlier, the Red Devils sent the first offer of £ 45 million and £ 10 million for the Cameroon player on June 4, but not approved by Brentford. Not long ago, MU completed the recruitment of striker Maheus Cunha from Wolves in the context of coach Ruben Amorim is actively consolidating the attack for the 2025/26 season.
Overall, MU buys Mbeumo is quite bright, while Gyokeres is quite obscure. There is no new information about the case of the Swedish star. Last week, the press of the fog said MU withdrew from the Gyokeres deal because it requires too high from Sporting Lisbon. Even Arsenal was given up Gyokeres to switch to Benjamin Sesko.
Thus, MU will most likely have to turn to a more feasible goal. However, everything stopped at the rumor, and maybe the Red Devils could find a common voice with Sporting in the Gyokeres case in the near future.
Last season, MU only reached the 15th target in the Premier League, the worst achievement of the club history. Meanwhile, Arsenal has a 3rd consecutive season to win the runner -up position. In the opening match of 2025/26, MU will face Arsenal at Old Trafford on August 17.
