Although still stalemate in persuading Brentford to accept the offer, Man United had prepared for Bryan Mbeumo if the player joined Old Trafford.
Man United recently officially left the shirt number 20, when the person wearing this shirt last season Diogo Dalot went to number 2 after Victor Lindelof left the team. This is the favorite number of Bryan Mbeumo in Cameroon national team.
In addition, in the case of this 1999 player who wants to hold the familiar number 19 shirt with Brentford, Man United can also give him. This shirt has not found the owner when Raphael Varane left the team. Earlier, Amad Diallo was the one who wore this shirt, then moved to number 16.

This is considered as a move for Mbeumo, in the context of the deal between MU and Brentford is still facing difficulties. Despite sending two official transfer suggestions, the Red Devils have not yet reached an agreed price with the West London team. Mbeumo is said to only want to leave Brentford to join Old Trafford.
The distance between the two teams is still different. Brentford wants to earn as much as possible from the star to only 1 year of contract (with an additional extension of 1 year), while MU has made an offer of £ 55 million excluding additional fees.
Earlier, another Red Devil rookie had chosen the number of shirts, which was Matheus Cuha taking the number 10 that belonged to Marcus Rashford. Since then, they have not been able to complete the Bryan Mbeumo deal even more than a month.
Even so, Man United still kept optimistic that the two sides could find a common voice. With the prepared shirt like MBeumo, the Old Trafford team showed the seriousness in the plan to bring him back to Manchester this summer.
