Man United launch £65m bid for Brentford Star Bryan Mbeumo – FootballAction.CO.UK

Manchester United have made a bold move in the summer transfer window by submitting a £65 million bid for Brentford’s talismanic forward, Bryan Mbeumo. The Red Devils have long admired the 25-year-old, but their pursuit has now turned serious as they aim to bolster their frontline ahead of the new campaign.

Tottenham Hotspur, under new manager Thomas Frank, were initially tipped as frontrunners due to the Dane’s strong connection with Mbeumo at Brentford. Frank has publicly praised the Cameroon international, even calling him “incredible” during their time together. However, the tide appears to have turned in United’s favour.

Mbeumo Prefers Old Trafford Switch

According to French journalist Sebastien Vidal, Mbeumo is leaning towards a switch to Old Trafford, and United’s £65 million offer—excluding add-ons—reflects their determination. The bid exceeds Brentford’s £60 million valuation, potentially sweetened by favourable payment terms.

Sources suggest that Brentford could accept the deal depending on the structure of the add-ons. Personal terms with the player are not expected to pose any hurdles, making this a transfer that could be completed swiftly.

A Statement Signing for United

Mbeumo enjoyed a stellar 2024/25 season, racking up 20 goals and 9 assists across all competitions. His versatility—capable of playing both on the right wing and as a central striker—makes him a valuable asset for United’s evolving attack.

Having already splashed over £100 million on Matheus Cunha, Manchester United may need to offload players to fund further moves. So far, there have been no significant sales, but that could soon change as the club shifts focus to squad trimming.

Should this deal go through, Bryan Mbeumo could prove to be a game-changing addition for Erik ten Hag’s side—bringing pace, experience, and goal-scoring flair to Old Trafford.
