Here We Go: Manchester United Strike £70m Deal for Bryan Mbeumo
The summer transfer window has officially erupted for Manchester United, with renowned transfer expert Fabrizio Romano delivering the news that fans have been craving: “Here we go!” The Red Devils have secured a full agreement to sign Brentford’s Bryan Mbeumo in a deal worth £70 million, marking a bold start to the Rúben Amorim era.
According to widespread reports, United will pay £65 million upfront, with a further £5 million in performance-based add-ons. The deal was reached after weeks of tough negotiations, with Brentford rejecting two earlier bids — the first around £55 million — before finally accepting United’s improved third offer.
This signing represents a major coup for Amorim, who made the 24-year-old Cameroon international a top priority as he looks to rejuvenate United’s front line. With Antony failing to deliver, Jadon Sancho’s future uncertain, and Marcus Rashford battling inconsistency, Mbeumo’s arrival promises much-needed pace, creativity, and end product.
Despite Brentford’s mid-table finish last season, Mbeumo impressed with 10 goals and 8 assists in the Premier League. His performances consistently caught the eye of United’s scouting team — and more importantly, Amorim himself, who sees Mbeumo as a perfect fit for his attacking system.
Romano confirmed the deal 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.”
Known for his versatility, Mbeumo can operate effectively on either wing or as a support striker, offering United a flexible and unpredictable option in the final third. His addition signals the club’s intent to build a more aggressive, mobile attack under Amorim’s leadership.
For United supporters, this is the statement signing they’ve been waiting for. With lift-off now underway, the Red Devils are preparing to charge into a new era — and Mbeumo could be the first spark of something special at Old Trafford. 🔴🚀
