Wright view
Ian Wright has shared his views on Manchester United’s chase of Bryan Mbeumo.
The Arsenal legend hopes that the forward is ready for the increased attention that comes with playing for the club.
When you saw it, like obviously Ivan Toney took all the plaudits at Brentford, but when you watched him then and watched the, you’re looking at it now and it’s more consistent, and you think, yeah.
It’s the only thing I’m surprised about with him, is that he’s only 26.
You know something, if he goes to United I think that he’s somebody that, if he gets in the moments that he’s had for Brentford, for United, he will then realise where he is.
Because he goes to another level with the attention from United.

Rashford switch
Marcus Rashford is gaining interest from Serie A giants Inter Milan.
The forward spent the second half of the season on loan at Aston Villa, with his red-hot form securing him a place back in the England squad.
Sources close to Rashford told SunSport he doesn’t see a future at Old Trafford under Ruben Amorim.
The pair reportedly fell out last season with the Portuguese manager unhappy with Rashford’s attitude during training and off the field.
And that means Rashford is frantically searching for a new club, which has put Inter Milan on red-alert.
The Italian giants are looking to rebuild their side in the wake of the Champions League final demolition at the hands of Paris Saint-Germain.
BREAKING: Mbeumo talks opened
Manchester United have opened talks with Brentford for star forward Bryan Mbeumo, according to reports.
The Cameroon international, 25, has indicated that he wants to move to Old Trafford this summer.
Brentford are willing to let their former record signing leave this summer, but won’t flog him on the cheap.
According to Sky Sports, United have “established contact” with the Bees ahead of making a formal bid.
Mbeumo has attracted interest from the likes of Tottenham, Newcastle and Arsenal this summer.
Fernandes opens up
Bruno Fernandes has opened up on his collapsed move to Al-Hilal.
The midfielder turned down the Saudi outfit and has spoken about the transfer while on international duty.
He said: “There was an opportunity.
“The president called me and asked if I wanted to go there.
“They were waiting for me. I spoke to coach [Ruben] Amorim. He asked me not to go.
“Manchester United didn’t want to sell me. They don’t need the money. If I had wanted to leave, they would have made it happen.
“Al Hilal were very kind. They spoke to my agent. Then I spoke to my wife. She asked: ‘What do you want to do?’ She always supports my decisions.
“It would have been easy to move there. I know the Portuguese players there very well. But I want to play at the highest level and compete for major titles.
“I can do that, and I still want to. I’m very passionate about football.”
United kit ‘leaked’
Fans declared “you couldn’t pay me to wear it” after Manchester United’s new third kit was leaked online.
The Red Devils are looking to make amends after enduring a miserable campaign both domestically and abroad.
However, any supporter looking to find solace in United’s new third kit will be left sorely disappointed.
That’s after fellow fans hit out at the latest design for the alternative jersey, which features a bizarre black-and-yellow colour combination.
Klopp consideration
Manchester United have been urged to consider appointing Jurgen Klopp as manager if Ruben Amorim leaves the club.
Former Arsenal star Martin Keown believes that Klopp would be able to perform an “incredible job” at Old Trafford.
He said: “Just look at the number of games they’ve lost.
“It’s going to be a very interesting start to next season for them but they could do a lot worse than go and get Jurgen Klopp to manage their football club.
“I’m not trying to sensationalise.
“I believe he could do an incredible job there and I believe they need somebody with more experience than the current manager.”
