Man Utd agree terms with Brentford for Bryan Mbeumo
United are set to pay £65million for Mbeumo, with Brentford reportedly in line for a further £6m in potential add-ons. Bryan Mbeumo is close to joining Manchester United (John Walton/PA) The Cameroon international is in line to become the Premier League club's second major summer signing after Brazil international Matheus Cunha arrived from Wolves in a £62.5million deal last month. Mbeumo is understood to have expressed a desire to move to Old Trafford over other clubs and his impending arrival is a major boost ahead of United's pre-season tour. Amorim's men fly to the United States on Tuesday for the three-game Premier League Summer Series, having kicked off preparations for the new campaign with Saturday's Stockholm friendly against Leeds. Mbeumo heads to the north west fresh from the best season of his career, with the Brentford star scoring 20 Premier League goals and providing seven assists. Only Mohamed Salah, Alexander Isak and Erling Haaland scored more than the 25-year-old, who joined Brentford from Troyes in 2019 and has a year left on his current contract, albeit with the option for another season. Mbeumo has been a key target as the 20-time league champions look to rebuild having finished 15th and seen their worst top-flight season in 51 years compounded by losing the Europa League final. United's first approach of £45m plus £10m in potential add-ons in early June was rejected by Brentford, with an improved proposal exceeding £60m following a few weeks later. But talks stalled as Brentford held on for a greater fee for Mbeumo and director of football Phil Giles said at the end of June that he 'wouldn't be massively surprised' if the forward stayed. Mbeumo and Cunha will bolster a side that has also seen 18-year-old Diego Leon arrive from Cerro Porteno after striking an agreement to sign him in January. 🚨 Ruben has named a 29-man travelling squad for our trip to face Leeds in Stockholm 🇸🇪 — Manchester United (@ManUtd) July 18, 2025 In terms of outgoings, Marcus Rashford, Jadon Sancho, Alejandro Garnacho, Antony and Tyrell Malacia are searching for new clubs. Christian Eriksen and Victor Lindelof have left on free transfers, while Jonny Evans has retired. None of the players seeking new clubs have been included in a 29-man squad for the Leeds match. Cunha and Leon are part of Amorim's group. Andre Onana and Joshua Zirkzee will remain at United's Carrington training base to recover from small issues, but are expected to be part of the touring squad for the United States.
