It’s Liverpool who currently have the better record in recent times, winning two of the last five games over Manchester United, losing just once.

The last time the Red Devils beat Liverpool was in the FA Cup in 2024, with a 4-3 victory over the reds.

In the pairs last matchup, it ended all square at 2-2 thanks to a late equaliser from Amad Diallo.

Manchester United

Manchester United is yet to find any proper rhythm this season but a break after a win has allowed them to regroup.

Ruben Amorim’s side will be without just two players for this game.

Lisandro Martinez continues to recover from his ACL injury whilst Noussair Mazraoui has a knock.

Possible Lineup

Senne Lammens (GK), Lenny Yoro, Mathias de Ligt, Luke Shaw, Amad Diallo, Casemiro, Bruno Fernandes, Diogo Dalot, Bryan Mbuemo, Matheus Cunha, Benjamin Sesko

Liverpool vs. Manchester United Picks

Liverpool haven’t lived up to their hype as of yet this season and are still second in the league.

Manchester United is yet to find their true identity but the win over Sunderland will do them the world of good.

So, both sides are really yet to meet expectations, but it is Liverpool who have managed to have the quality to cruise into second and it is this quality that will be the turning point in this game.

I have this one getting a few goals, but Liverpool’s quality getting them the win.

Both managers are entering this clash under significant pressure to deliver results, with Arne Slot hoping to restore Liverpool’s early-season dominance and Ruben Amorim aiming to prove his system can compete against top-six opposition. Anfield’s atmosphere could play a decisive role — Liverpool are unbeaten in their last 13 home league games, while United’s away record has been inconsistent, often struggling to maintain intensity for the full 90 minutes. The battle between Virgil van Dijk and Matheus Cunha could be key, as well as how Bruno Fernandes links up with new signing Benjamin Sesko to unlock Liverpool’s defense. Fans can expect a tactical showdown filled with momentum swings, where composure and finishing touch might decide the outcome.

Other markets include Alexander Isak to have two or more shots on goal, Mohamed Salah to score and assist and Bruno Fernandes to have two or more shots on target.

Bryan Mbeumo rejects move to Tottenham Hotspur, confirms plan to join Man United this summer https://soccerballworld.com/bryan-mbeumo-confirms-plan-to-join-man-united/ Sat, 28 Jun 2025 22:01:55 +0000 https://soccerballworld.com/?p=5705 Failing so far to get a drawn-out deal for Cameroonian forward, Bryan Mbeumo over the line, Man United appear to have been given a boost in their pursuit of the Brentford star, who has rejected the chance to sign for Tottenham Hotspur, in favor of a move to Old Trafford.

Mbuemo, who scored 20 times in all competitions for the London club last season, laid on an impressive further eight assists for ‘The Bees’ in all competitions.

Man United expected to table improved £60 million offer for Brentford forward Bryan Mbuemo

And linked heavily with United in the last month, Bryan Mbeumo was also linked with a massive move to Spurs, with former head coach, Thomas Frank becoming the new manager in North London earlier this month, too.

Man United huge favorites to sign Bryan Mbeumo

However, as per a report from The Athletic this week, Mbeumo — who is a massive favorite to join United, even on Plinko real money sites to this date– has made his intentions clear to link up with Ruben Amorim ahead of a rebuild at Old Trafford later this summer.

As per the report, Bryan Mbeumo informed then-coach Frank ahead of his mooted move to Spurs that he does not intend to follow suit — instead confirming his plans to join United, who have already splashed the cash this summer.

Earlier this month, Man United confirmed the signing of Wolves forward, Matheus Cunha, for a fee in the region of £62.5 million — to play on the left-hand side of a forward front two behind a striking outlet.

And furthermore, this month, United have already seen a pair of bids rejected for Bryan Mbeumo.

Man United closing in on deal to sign Bryan Mbuemo as second bid lodged

Most recently, a bid in the region of £55 million plus a further £7.5 million in potential performance-related add-ons was also rejected by Brentford over the course of this weekend.

Confident of securing an eventual deal to sign the former Troyes forward, personal terms on a deal to sign Mbuemo are not expected to serve as a stumbling block to any potential signing.

It must be noted, the arrival of Bryan Mbeumo — whilst sanctioned by the INEOS-backed United board, is set to come as the last transfer available to Amorim before a summer clear-out in the club in a bid to fund other potential targets.

Namely, a host of potential players in the United shop window include Alejandro Garnacho, Marcus Rashford, Antony, Jadon Sancho, and potentially, goalkeeper Andre Onana.

Linked with a lucrative move to Premier League rivals, Chelsea, United are set to command a fee in the region of £75 million for Garnacho, who has severely fallen out of favor at Old Trafford under Portuguese head coach, Amorim.

In a bid to launch a culture shock at the club, United have also stressed this summer, according to sources, how they have a set price in mind for each of their targets, and will not be overpaying nor held to ransom by selling clubs.

Expected to launch a bid for an attacking outlet off the back of a deal to sign Bryan Mbeumo, United also discussed a potential deal to sign Argentine shot stopper, Emi Martinez, from Premier League rivals, Aston Villa.

To boot, a potential bid for a second-choice keeper has been mooted, too, with United reportedly also open to offers for Turkish goalkeeper, Altay Bayindir, who has failed to set the world on fire since his move from Fenerbache back in 2024.

United, who confirmed the arrivals of both Paraguayan youngster, Diego Leon and Wolves forward, Matheus Cunha — the second for a staggering £63.5 million deal earlier this month, are expected to further strengthen their squad following a dismal campaign last season.

And lodging their first bid for Cameroonian forward, Mbeumo earlier this month, United moved as sizeable betting favorites to sign the former Troyes striker.

Man United see odds slashed to sign Bryan Mbeumo

Boasting odds as low as -1,000 to sign Bryan Mbeumo this summer from Brentford, it seems Man United are closing in on their latest target — with trusted offshore sportsbooks still offering a slew of markets on further transfer activity for the Old Trafford side this summer.

Man United remain big betting favorites to sign Brentford star Bryan Mbeumo

And according to reports Ben Jacobs on social media this evening, United are edging closer to signing Mbeumo — with plans in place for the right-sided forward to join the club before they jet off for their pre season tour in the United States at the beginning of next month.

“Manchester United are getting closer to signing Bryan Mbeumo,” Jacobs posted on X. “United want to confirm Mbeumo before returning for pre-season on July 7. Second offer of £60m+ not far off Brentford’s expectations, with add-ons being discussed. #MUFC optimistic.”

Falling short in their initial bid according to Brentford’s valuation of Mbeumo, United are said to have tabled a new and improved offer of £60 million for the former French under 21s player, plus performance-related add ons.

Enjoying a stunning season for the London club last campaign, Mbeumo scored a scorching 20 goals in all competitions for ‘The Bees’, and laid on another eight separate assists

Man United table new £60 million bid for Brentford star Bryan Mbuemo

Paired with the firing, Yoane Wissa over the season, Bryan Mbeumo scored an impressive partnership with the striker, following the departure of England international, Ivan Toney last summer in a lucrative move to Al-Ahli.

Expected to continue their summer rebuild off the back of a deal to sign Bryan Mbeumo, it is, however, expected United will have to offload some high-profile players to bring in more talents through the revolving door at Old Trafford.

Of note, United are reportedly willing to listen to offers for the likes of Marcus Rashford, Alejandro Garnacho, Jadon Sancho, and Antony — as well as polarizing shot stopper, Andre Onana in a bid to fund a rebuild.

Linked with a potential January move to Chelsea last season, Garnacho is still odds on favorite to join the London club, however, any inclusion of Christopher Nkunku in a deal — which was mooted in January, is not expected to play into their pursuit of the Argentine before the August deadline.

Furthermore, another star up for grabs is Danish striker, Rasmus Hojlund.
