Manchester United has reportedly agreed a deal to sign Vincent Aboubakar from Al Nassr.
The 30-year-old recently captained Cameroon at the 2022 World Cup and scored a memorable goal in a surprise 1-0 group-stage win over Brazil.
This comes after Cristiano Ronaldo completed his eye-watering move to the Saudi Arabian side.

The 37-year-old was unveiled earlier this week but is so far unavailable to make his debut for the club due to an unserved two-match ban from his Manchester United spell and a full roster of foreign players at Al-Nassr.
As a result, Ronaldo had to sit out Al Nassr’s 2-0 win over Al-Ta’ee as he watched on from the directors’ box.
Man United could be about to come to the rescue, though.
According to Saudi outlet OKAZ, Aboubakar’s move to United could pave the way for ex-Red Devils star Ronaldo to be registered to play in the Saudi Pro League.
Aboubakar’s potential temporary switch to Old Trafford would not only strengthen Erik ten Hag’s options in attack but would also allow Ronaldo to be officially registered by Al-Nassr.
