BREAKING NEWS: Brentford Star Bryan Mbeumo Set to Sign for Manchester United
Manchester, July 18, 2025 โ In a stunning development, Brentfordโs talismanic winger Bryan Mbeumo is reportedly on the verge of signing for Manchester United in a deal that could shake up the Premier League. Sources close to the negotiations confirm that the Red Devils have agreed a ยฃ50 million transfer fee with Brentford for the 25-year-old Cameroonian international, with the player expected to undergo a medical within the next 48 hours.
Mbeumo, who has been a standout performer for Brentford since their promotion to the Premier League in 2021, has caught the eye of Unitedโs new management team with his blistering pace, clinical finishing, and versatility across the front line. His impressive stats highlight his value: over five seasons with Brentford and Troyes, Mbeumo has recorded 42 goals and 28 assists in 140 appearances, with a record of 52 wins, 38 draws, and 50 losses. In the 2024/25 Premier League season alone, he played 38 matches, scoring 20 goals and providing 7 assists, averaging 0.53 goals per 90 minutes. His 3417 minutes played, 85 shots (41 on target), and 91.67% penalty conversion rate (11/12) underscore his clinical edge. Additionally, he hit the woodwork 13 times across his Premier League career and contributed 179 touches in the opposition box this season, showcasing his constant threat in attacking areas.
The move comes as Manchester United look to bolster their squad under manager Erik ten Hag, who is said to view Mbeumo as the perfect addition to his attacking arsenal alongside the likes of Marcus Rashford and Rasmus Hรธjlund. The transfer is also seen as a statement of intent from Unitedโs new ownership group, led by Sir Jim Ratcliffe, who have prioritized strengthening the squad to compete for the Premier League title.
Brentford, while reluctant to lose their star man, are understood to have accepted the offer due to Mbeumoโs desire to test himself at a top club. The Bees are already reportedly eyeing replacements, with funds from the transfer expected to be reinvested into Thomas Frankโs squad.
Fans have taken to social media to express their excitement, with #Mbeumo trending on X as supporters speculate on how the dynamic forward will fit into Unitedโs lineup. โMbeumo to United is MASSIVE! His work rate and goals are exactly what we need!โ one fan posted. Notably, Mbeumoโs record against the Premier Leagueโs โBig Sixโ clubsโ10 goals and 5 assistsโhas fueled optimism among United supporters, who see him as a clutch performer.
An official announcement from Manchester United is expected imminently, with Mbeumo potentially in line to make his debut against rivals Manchester City next weekend, provided the deal is finalized in time.
