by The summer transfer window has just exploded into life for Manchester United, as world-renowned transfer guru Fabrizio Romano has delivered the words every Red Devils fan has been waiting for — “Here We Go!” United have reached a full agreement to sign Brentford star Bryan Mbeumo in a deal worth £70 million, sending shockwaves through the Premier League.
According to multiple reports, United will pay £65 million up front, with £5 million in performance-based add-ons, after successfully submitting a third and final offer to Brentford. The Bees had rejected earlier proposals, including an initial £55 million bid last month and a second offer earlier this window, but have now accepted United’s improved terms following extended negotiations.
This marks a massive coup for new United boss Rúben Amorim, who has made Mbeumo a top priority as he looks to inject pace, creativity, and goals into his forward line. With Antony underperforming, Jadon Sancho’s future uncertain, and Marcus Rashford struggling for consistency, the arrival of Mbeumo could prove to be a game-changer for the Red Devils.
The 24-year-old Cameroon international enjoyed a stellar season with Brentford despite their mid-table finish, contributing 10 goals and 8 assists in the Premier League — numbers that caught the eye of United scouts and Amorim himself.
Romano confirmed the breakthrough earlier this morning via social media, stating:
“ Bryan Mbeumo to Manchester United, HERE WE GO! Deal agreed with Brentford for £65m plus £5m in add-ons. Personal terms already in place. Mbeumo set to sign long-term contract — medical to be scheduled in the coming days.”
Mbeumo’s versatility — being able to play on either flank or as a second striker — will give United a dynamic edge in attack as they aim to rebuild under Amorim and close the gap on their rivals.
United fans can now celebrate — the first major signing of the Amorim era is imminent. Get ready for lift-off at Old Trafford! 🚀🔴
