DONE DEAL: Manchester United Secure £60M Signing of Premier League Star Bryan MbeumoManchester United have officially completed the signing of Brentford forward Bryan Mbeumo in a deal worth £60 million, making him the second-highest-paid player at the club behind Bruno Fernandes.
The agreement between clubs was finalized today, with Mbeumo set to undergo his medical tomorrow ahead of a formal unveiling.The move comes after prolonged negotiations and multiple rejected bids.
United’s initial offer of £55 million was swiftly turned down by Brentford. A follow-up bid exceeding £60 million was also rejected, with Brentford holding firm on their valuation.
However, after continued talks, the two clubs have now reached an agreement.Transfer expert Mike Brown confirmed the breakthrough, reporting that Mbeumo had made it clear he wanted to join Manchester United—diminishing Brentford’s negotiating leverage.
Despite interest from Newcastle United, Arsenal, and Tottenham Hotspur, the Cameroonian international was convinced by United’s long-term vision and made them his preferred destination.
Mbeumo, who has previously drawn comparisons to Alexander Isak for his agility and goal threat, is coming off a career-best season. He recorded 27 goal contributions in the Premier League and stood out under Brentford boss Thomas Frank, excelling as a right winger and occasionally as a second striker.
At United, the 25-year-old is expected to take on the right-sided attacking midfield role in Rúben Amorim’s 3-4-2-1 formation. With Matheus Cunha already secured for the left-side role, Amorim is assembling a fluid, high-energy front line built around mobility, pressing, and creativity.Mbeumo’s addition represents a significant upgrade to United’s attack and underlines the club’s aggressive transfer approach this summer.
The Red Devils are clearly intent on returning to the top of English football, and this deal is another statement of their ambition.The official unveiling is scheduled for tomorrow, with fans eager to welcome the Cameroonian star to Old Trafford.
