Manchester United’s aggressive push for Bryan Mbeumo signals their intent to strengthen the attack ahead of the 2025–26 season. With Jadon Sancho's future uncertain and Antony struggling to find consistency, Mbeumo is seen as a dynamic wide option who can both score and create chances. The Red Devils are eager to finalize the deal before their pre-season tour concludes.

 

Brentford have remained firm on their valuation, initially holding out for closer to £75 million, but United’s improved offer—£65 million up front and £5 million in achievable add-ons—has brought negotiations to an advanced stage. Club sources suggest there is growing confidence that a deal can be reached before the end of the week.

Mbeumo, who contributed 9 goals and 6 assists last season despite injury setbacks, has reportedly already agreed personal terms with Manchester United. The Cameroonian winger is said to be excited by the prospect of playing at Old Trafford under Erik ten Hag and has made it clear to Brentford that he sees this as the ideal next step in his career.

Meanwhile, Brentford are accelerating their pursuit of Chelsea winger Omari Hutchinson, who impressed on loan at Ipswich Town last season. Talks are ongoing between the Bees and Chelsea, with Brentford viewing Hutchinson as a long-term replacement capable of filling Mbeumo’s creative void on the right flank.

This potential transfer could mark United’s second major signing of the window, following their recent acquisition of a new central midfielder. With financial constraints affecting several Premier League clubs, United's willingness to spend big reflects a renewed backing of Erik ten Hag's project and a determination to return to title contention.
