In a major summer transfer twist, Brentford winger Bryan Mbeumo has reportedly been given the green light to discuss personal terms with Manchester United, as the Red Devils move quickly to secure the dynamic forward. According to The Athletic, United are closing in on a £60 million transfer, signaling their intent to add pace, versatility, and end product to their attacking line.

Mbeumo Emerges as a Key Target

The 24-year-old Cameroonian international has impressed consistently for Brentford in the Premier League, especially in the absence of Ivan Toney. With his ability to play across the front line, Mbeumo brings a rare combination of speed, creativity, and clinical finishing — qualities that United manager Erik ten Hag is believed to highly value as he reshapes his squad ahead of the 2025/26 campaign.

United’s Attack Gets a Boost

Mbeumo’s potential arrival comes amid speculation that United will be parting ways with Jadon Sancho and possibly Antony, depending on summer offers. The Brentford star, who registered 9 goals and 6 assists despite injury setbacks last season, is seen as a more consistent and hard-working option who can provide width, pressing, and a direct goal threat.

Brentford Open to Deal

While Brentford were initially reluctant to let Mbeumo leave, insiders say the club is willing to negotiate for the right price, especially with Mbeumo expressing interest in the move. The £60 million fee being discussed would make him one of the most expensive sales in Brentford’s history — and a major statement signing for Manchester United.

What’s Next?

Personal terms are not expected to be a major hurdle, and if final details between the clubs are ironed out in the coming days, Mbeumo could undergo a medical before the end of next week.
