Manchester United have made a significant move in the summer transfer market, reaching a full agreement with Brentford to sign winger Bryan Mbeumo. The deal is valued at £63 million—comprising £55 million upfront and an additional £8 million in performance-related bonuses. The transfer is expected to be officially completed in the coming days.
The 24-year-old Cameroon international has been on the radar of several top Premier League clubs, but sources close to the deal say Mbeumo was solely focused on joining Manchester United. “He’s always dreamed of playing for United,” one insider revealed. “No other club mattered.”
Newly appointed United manager Ruben Amorim personally endorsed the transfer, viewing Mbeumo as a perfect fit to bring speed, creativity, and flair to the squad’s attacking options. With uncertainties surrounding the futures of Antony and Jadon Sancho, Mbeumo is set to become a key figure in Amorim’s revamped front line.
The player has agreed to personal terms on a five-year contract, with an option for an additional year. The agreement covers salary, bonuses, and image rights, with all parties reportedly very satisfied with the terms.
Paperwork and contracts will be processed within the next few hours, with medical examinations planned later this week.
Despite suffering a lengthy injury layoff last season, Mbeumo had a standout campaign at Brentford, hitting double digits in both goals and assists. Highly regarded for his work ethic, technical ability, and flexibility across attacking positions, his signing highlights Manchester United’s ambition to seriously contend in the upcoming season.
Official announcements from both Manchester United and Brentford are expected shortly
