Manchester United has finalized the signing of forward Bryan Mbeumo from Brentford for an initial fee of £65 million, with an additional £6 million in potential add-ons. The 25-year-old has signed a contract until 2030, with an option to extend for another year, reinforcing United’s commitment to enhancing their attacking options as manager Ruben Amorim looks to reshape the squad following a difficult previous season, according to BBC and Reuters.

Mbeumo is coming off a remarkable season in the Premier League, where he achieved his best performance yet, netting 20 goals and assisting 7 times. He ranked as one of the top scorers in the league, behind only stars like Mohamed Salah and Erling Haaland. “As soon as I knew there was a chance to join Manchester United, I had to take the opportunity to sign for the club of my dreams," Mbeumo stated, conveying his enthusiasm for this new chapter in his career, as noted by Al Jazeera and Africa News.

Having made 242 appearances for Brentford since joining from Troyes in 2019, Mbeumo’s record includes 70 goals and 51 assists in total. His versatility as both a winger and center-forward made him a critical asset for Brentford during his tenure, particularly during the 2024-25 season where he started every league match. United director of football Jason Wilcox commented on Mbeumo's exceptional contributions, highlighting his productivity and consistency as among the best in England, according to BBC, Reuters, and Africa News.

Mbeumo is set to join his new teammates for a pre-season tour in the United States, where United is scheduled to play several matches, including games against West Ham and Bournemouth. This transfer solidifies United's initiative to rectify their previous season's shortcomings, which saw them finish 15th and struggle offensively. Mbeumo's arrival follows a series of strategic signings aimed at revitalizing the squad, led by Amorim in hopes of resuscitating United's ambitions, as reported by Al Jazeera and BBC.
