According to reports, Manchester United is on the brink of reaching an accord with Brentford regarding Bryan Mbeumo’s transfer. After an ineffectual 2024/25 campaign in which the club finished 15th and had a -10 goal difference, it is believed that United’s top transfer priority is to increase their goal output.
United is currently focused on finalizing a deal for Mbeumo following the confirmation of Matheus Cunha’s arrival. Mbeumo had an exceptional season with Brentford, netting a career-high 20 Premier League goals and contributing an additional seven assists.
Tottenham Hotspur, Newcastle, and Arsenal were among the clubs that were informed of his availability by his exploits. However, the Cameroonian ultimately selected United, despite the fact that they did not participate in European football. Brentford has rejected United’s initial offer of up to £55 million, as they are hoping to secure additional funding.
Talks have been ongoing with the Bees for days in an effort to reach a resolution. According to a report published by The Peoples Person, United are prepared to terminate negotiations if Brentford fails to negotiate their valuation of Mbeumo. Conversely, a constructive update has recently surfaced, suggesting that an agreement is imminent.
United and Brentford are gradually narrowing the gap in their valuation, as the price disparity is no longer as substantial as it once was, according to journalist Rudy Galetti. Galetti’s post on X was titled “Positive contacts between Man UTD and Brentford for Mbeumo.” “The disparity in fixed fees is diminishing; there are only a few million remaining.”
