Mbeumo thinks Watkins could be Red Devils' Salah
Daily Post
|July 30, 2025
NEW Manchester United signing Bryan Mbeumo has already given his approval to a potential move for Ollie Watkins - who he thinks could become the club's equivalent of Mohamed Salah.
Watkins, 29, featured alongside Mbeumo during their time at then-Championship outfit Brentford in the 2019-20 campaign.
The attacking partnership netted a total of 40 goals as the Bees came agonisingly close to securing promotion to the Premier League, ultimately falling short in the playoff final against Fulham.
United are now eager to bring the pair back together, with it understood that Watkins has emerged as the Red Devils' primary target as they hunt for a new striker.
Whilst Aston Villa maintain privately that Watkins is not available at any cost, United are confident that a transfer could be completed for somewhere between £40-45million.
