Manchester United has been given a huge boost in signing Bryan Mbuemo. According to Fabrizio Romano, the attacker has told Brentford that it's his dream to play for Man United, and he would like the transfer as soon as possible.
Man United has been pushing for the deal to happen on their own end, so fans hope that the stars will align and all parties will get their wish. Of course, there is competition with Tottenham Hotspur to contend with, but this news makes that competition all the easier to deal with.
Moreover, Bryan Mbuemo is believed to prefer signing for Man United over Spurs, and this claim from Fabrizio only solidifies that.
Bryan Mbuemo wants to sign for Man United
What Man United needs more than ever right now is players that want to play for the club. Considering Alejandro Garnacho is an example of the contrary, a huge attitude shift is needed in the dressing room.
In the past, Man United has been a club that players would sell their souls to join. Their pull factor has lessened quite a bit in recent history, understandably, so to see players still wanting to join is at least encouraging.
It's even more encouraging that Bryan Mbuemo wants to sign for Man United when frankly, he could play for any Premier League team. Especially Tottenham, for two reasons.
Man United get the last laugh over Tottenham
Thomas Frank, who is the most recent manager of Bryan Mbuemo, is now at the helm of Tottenham Hotspur. Therefore, it's hardly surprising that Daniel Levy wanted to make his transition easier by signing one of his former players.
That said, it's much more surprising that the feeling isn't reciprocal and actually, Mbuemo wants to sign for Man United instead.
Of course, there's another dynamic at play here. Man United's most recent soul-crushing loss was against Tottenham in the Europa League final. Let's be honest, neither team covered themselves in glory but now, Man United might get the last laugh.
Signing Mbuemo is a much greater push for success than hopelessly qualifying for the Champions League would have been. Mbuemo would be key to the rebuild, since it's in his best interest to give his all for the sake of the club and himself.
