Manchester United have made a significant breakthrough in the transfer market, reaching a complete agreement with Brentford for the signing of winger Bryan Mbeumo. The deal is valued at £63 million, made up of £55 million in guaranteed payments and an additional £8 million in performance-based bonuses and add-ons. Finalization is expected within days.
The 24-year-old Cameroonian forward has attracted interest from numerous Premier League clubs, but sources close to the deal insist that Mbeumo was only ever focused on joining United. “He’s always wanted United,” a source revealed. “No one else.”
New manager Rúben Amorim reportedly gave the green light for the transfer, having earmarked Mbeumo as a key component in revamping United’s attack with added pace, creativity, and flair. With uncertainty surrounding the futures of both Antony and Jadon Sancho, Mbeumo is set to play a central role in Amorim’s forward setup.
Mbeumo has agreed to a five-year contract with the Red Devils, which includes an option to extend for a sixth year. The agreement also covers salary, performance bonuses, and image rights, with all involved parties said to be “extremely satisfied.”
The necessary paperwork is expected to begin within hours, with the player’s medical scheduled later this week.
Despite missing part of last season through injury, Mbeumo delivered strong numbers for Brentford, contributing both goals and assists. His high energy, technical ability, and flexibility across attacking positions make him a standout signing for United, who are clearly signaling serious ambitions for the 2025/26 season.
Official announcements from both Manchester United and Brentford are expected shortly.
