Manchester United have just kicked off their summer transfer business in dramatic fashion, as renowned transfer expert Fabrizio Romano confirmed the club has reached a full agreement to sign Brentford’s Bryan Mbeumo in a sensational £70 million deal. Romano’s signature phrase, “Here we go,” has officially ignited excitement across the United fanbase.
The agreement will see United pay £65 million upfront, with another £5 million tied to performance-related clauses. This breakthrough came after Brentford turned down two earlier bids, the first worth £55 million and a slightly improved second offer earlier this window. United’s third proposal finally hit the mark after prolonged discussions.
New manager Rúben Amorim played a key role in pushing for Mbeumo’s signing, identifying the Cameroon international as a perfect fit to revitalize United’s attack. With Antony struggling, Sancho’s future uncertain, and Rashford lacking consistency, Mbeumo’s arrival adds much-needed quality and versatility to the frontline.
The 24-year-old caught United’s attention with an impressive Premier League campaign last season, racking up 10 goals and 8 assists despite Brentford finishing mid-table. Amorim views him as a dynamic presence capable of operating on either wing or just behind the striker — a major asset for the club’s rebuilding phase.
Romano confirmed that personal terms have already been settled and that Mbeumo is set to sign a long-term contract, running until June 2030, with an optional extension to 2031. His medical is scheduled shortly, and the club is aiming to include him in the squad for their upcoming pre-season tour.
This transfer follows the recent acquisition of Matheus Cunha for £62.5 million, signaling a clear intent from United to overhaul their misfiring attack. Mbeumo’s pace, goal threat, and adaptability could prove crucial as Amorim looks to inject a new energy into the squad and close the gap on their Premier League rivals.
United fans can now look forward to a new chapter under Amorim, with Mbeumo set to be the headline act in what promises to be a transformative summer at Old Trafford.
