Manchester United may be about to be handed a welcome financial windfall owing to a big-money transfer that looks set to be completed elsewhere in the Premier League.

United will be hoping to strengthen their squad with more new signings between now and September 1 deadline. Matheus Cunha remains the only new addition so far, but Ruben Amorim and United are still looking to the market for further reinforcements over the next few weeks.

Away from Old Trafford there are other swoops taking place in the rest of the Premier League. One deal concerns former United star Anthony Elanga, who looks set to join a new club.

Fabrizio Romano has reported that Newcastle have now agreed a deal to snap-up Elanga from Nottingham Forest, with a fee thought to be worth around £55million. If a deal does get completed, then it would see United receive a financial boost.

Elanga left United to join Forest in the summer of 2023 for £15million. The deal also saw United include a sell-on clause worth 20 per cent on any profit that is made from any future switch - which will now see the club receive several millions of pounds to help boost their transfer kitty.

If an agreement for Elanga to join Newcastle does get completed - for the aforementioned price - it would see United receive £8million owing to the £40million profit that Forest would get from the transfer.

An extra £8million could go a long way to helping United fund their own transfers - particularly the push to sign Mbeumo. United have had two offers rejected by the Bees for the Cameroon international, with the latter being more than £60million.

There is still confidence from United that they can complete a deal to sign Mbeumo this summer, despite their second bid falling below Brentford's valuation of the forward.
