BREAKING NEWS: Manchester United have submitted a second, improved offer worth over £60 million for Bryan Mbeumo tonight
Manchester United have stepped up their efforts to sign Bryan Mbeumo, submitting a second bid as the pressure grows to finalise the deal swiftly. The 24-year-old winger has become a top priority for the club’s summer rebuild, and insiders at Old Trafford are eager to see the transfer completed in time for him to take part in pre-season training.
After an outstanding campaign with Brentford, Mbeumo has attracted serious interest from United’s recruitment team, who are impressed by his pace, creativity, and attacking output. Erik ten Hag sees him as a valuable addition who can bring a new dynamic to the frontline.
United’s initial offer was turned down, but they’ve now returned with a more serious bid, reportedly exceeding £60 million. This revised proposal puts them closer to Brentford’s asking price of £60–65 million and shows just how determined they are to land the Cameroon international.
Mbeumo, who is 25 and entering the prime of his career, is said to favour a switch to Old Trafford over rival interest from Tottenham and Newcastle. Reports suggest that personal terms have already been settled, with a proposed salary of around £250,000 per week.
His proven ability in the Premier League—scoring 20 goals and providing eight assists last season—makes him an ideal fit for United’s system. He’s capable of playing in multiple attacking roles and is known for his high work rate and pressing intensity, which aligns well with what manager Rúben Amorim demands from his forwards.
There are still challenges to overcome, with Brentford standing firm on their valuation and expecting a deal in the same ballpark as United’s £62.5 million signing of Matheus Cunha. The Red Devils may need to either increase their bid again or get creative with bonuses and structured payments.
Still, United’s pursuit of Mbeumo sends a clear message—they’re serious about strengthening their attack before the new season begins. The winger looks set to be one of the headline arrivals at Old Trafford this summer, provided both clubs can find common ground on the final fee.
