United Intensify Pursuit of Bryan Mbeumo
Manchester United are closing in on Brentford’s Bryan Mbeumo, having submitted two serious bids. Their latest offer of £60 million is still short of Brentford’s £65 million asking price, but negotiations remain active.
Brentford are reportedly insisting on an upfront-heavy payment structure, warning that the player will stay unless the price is met. Despite this, Mbeumo has agreed personal terms with United and is ready for a medical as soon as the clubs finalize the deal.
The Cameroonian forward enjoyed his best season yet, netting 20 Premier League goals. At 25, he is entering his prime, and his pace, finishing, and versatility make him an appealing addition to United’s forward line.
Brentford’s Big Decision
If completed, this would become Brentford’s highest-ever sale. The money would play a crucial role in their summer rebuild following recent managerial changes and shifting squad dynamics.
United’s Summer Strategy
With the signing of Matheus Cunha already completed for over £60 million, bringing in Mbeumo would take United’s summer spending past £120 million. This aggressive transfer activity signals a clear ambition to reshape the squad for a stronger campaign under their new structure.
What Happens Next
Brentford have reportedly set a short deadline for United to meet their valuation. If that happens, the deal will likely go through swiftly. Tottenham’s interest remains, but Mbeumo prefers the move to Old Trafford.
