Fabrizio Romano Reveals True Cause of Bryan Mbeumo Transfer Delay — “It’s Beyond Manchester United’s Control!”
BREAKING: The uncertainty surrounding Bryan Mbeumo’s potential move to Manchester United has taken a surprising twist, with renowned transfer expert Fabrizio Romano shedding light on the real reason behind the hold-up.
Contrary to speculation, Romano confirmed that the delay isn’t due to hesitation from United or financial negotiations. Instead, the obstacle lies entirely outside the club’s control — and stems from complications on Brentford’s end.
According to Romano, “It’s out of Manchester United’s control,” hinting that Brentford, not the Red Devils, are responsible for the impasse. Sources close to the situation reveal that United have already reached personal terms with Mbeumo, but Brentford have paused discussions due to an unforeseen issue.
Brentford’s hesitation reportedly stems from a setback in their replacement plans. The West London club had identified a top target to fill Mbeumo’s role, but that player recently suffered a training injury, forcing the Bees to rethink their strategy before approving any transfer.
Mbeumo—widely regarded as one of the Premier League’s most underrated attacking threats—was expected to join Erik ten Hag’s squad ahead of the new season. With his pace, creativity, and sharp goal-scoring instincts, United viewed him as a vital addition to strengthen their forward line.
Frustrated fans have taken to social media demanding swift action from the club, unaware that United are already pushing from their end. Romano’s revelation reframes the narrative: this delay is a result of a transfer domino effect—Brentford won’t release Mbeumo until they’ve secured a reliable replacement.
With Mbeumo reportedly eager to make the switch and United ready to close the deal, the situation now hinges entirely on Brentford’s next move. If they can’t resolve their recruitment issues soon, United may be forced to turn to alternative targets.
One thing is certain: this transfer saga is still unfolding, and the next few days could prove decisive.
