Manchester United have been urged to bolster their forward line in January with a move for in-form Brentford forward Bryan Mbeumo, who is not yet ready to sign for Manchester City, Liverpool or Arsenal.
The Red Devils added to their attacking ranks with the addition of Bologna frontman Joshua Zirkzee over the summer but the Netherlands international has struggled to make much of an impact so far.
Rasmus Hojlund has at least been able to contribute in recent weeks after a continuous battle with injuries, but doubts over his fitness remain and that has led a former United star to call on the club to turn to Mbeumo.
Mikael Silvestre has been impressed with how the 25-year-old has stepped into Ivan Toney’s shoes at Brentford, as was evidenced again during Saturday’s incredible win over Ipswich.
The Cameroon international scored two more goals in that a 4-3 win to take his tally to the season to eight and Silvestre is certain the versatile attacker would be a shrewd addition at Old Trafford.
“What Bryan Mbeumo has been doing for Brentford is a credit to him because things were never going to be easy when it came to replacing the goals of Ivan Toney,” he told Norske Bettingsider.
“I do think that top clubs like Manchester United should be keeping a close eye on his progress this season, it’s a big time in his career at the age of 25 to see if he can make that step up.
