Huge hypothetical but imagine signing Eze and sending Odobert on loan there as part of the deal? That would be a great move for everyone.
Tits are smaller than I'd imagined, tbf.
Eze_in would make that left side over-populated and that would make for an ideal solution.
Then again.... Maybe they'd like Solomon in part exchange for 20m instead.
We have CL football so we need a deeper squad.
Eze covers LW and AM so we’d need more cover on the wings if we signed Eze and sent Odobert on loan.
LW: Eze, Tel, Moore not enough?
Man Utd's Bryan Mbeumo plan scuppered by Brentford's demand in latest twist
If Brentford really want tfer fee up front that counts us out, and probably manure as well.

Not primarily, but he's spent a fair chunk of time on the left too.
Did you read the article? Brentford want similar money United spent on Cunha. That's expensive but not ridiculous.
EDIT: I WAS WRONG!
I coulda sworn plenty of you lot declared this trf complete a few weeks ago.
So, despite Brentford hard-balling over fee & payment terms and the player demanding a 500+% payrise; why doesn't Man U act like a "big club" and "just get it done"?

Yeah I don't think that'll ever be us tbh. Can see us signing one big name like Eze or Semenyo but can't see us signing two!
"the west Londoners have made it clear that any transfer fee needs to be paid up front - not in instalments"
Doesn't mean he's a left winger...
All these formations putting him in a position he doesn't play, he plays as an inside 10 at Palace and is allowed to drift
Unless Frank set the team up in the same way which I cannot see personally.
Brentford are not being unreasonable at all. They have an option to extend Mbeumo's contract a year so technically he's got 2 years left with them. Why should they sell Mbeumo for less than United paid for Cunha? Most fans would prefer Mbeumo in their team!
United screwed up by overpaying for Cunha and then offering Mbeumo 200k a week to get him to agree to join them and not talk to anyone else. Now United are annoyed that Brentford want over 60m? Idiots. Mbeumo is currently on 45k a week and had 5/6 clubs talking to him and offering to treble his wages to 150k, then you can justify paying over 60m on him. United came in with their 200-250k a week deal to look all great when Mbeumo chooses them, and are now realising they are overpaying because Brentford are demanding nearly 70m.
Ironically, if they try get Mbeumo to agree to less wages now to justify the transfer fee, Mbeumo will probably choose to go somewhere else! United never cease to amaze me in the transfer market. Like something out of only fools and horses
Confuses me that they would risk losing him for much less when he enters the final year of his deal next season, this is their best chance to get a high fee structured deal on their own terms. Makes sense if they genuinely feel relegation threatened without him but I think their squad is good enough if they refused to sell anyone else after Mbeumo and spent the money wisely to replace him (something they have done very well thus far) they won't do worse than 3 other teams next season.
