Manchester United have submitted an opening offer to sign Brentford’s Cameroon international forward Bryan Mbeumo. The proposal values Mbeumo at £45 million plus £10 million in add-ons, which is below Brentford’s expected fee, reports The Athletic.
Talks are ongoing, with United working to reach an agreement for the player targeted by head coach Ruben Amorim to strengthen his attacking unit. Mbeumo, 25, has a year left on his contract, plus an option to extend by 12 months, and is keen on joining United if the clubs can strike a compromise.
Mbeumo enjoyed a breakout campaign in 2024-25, scoring 20 goals and adding eight assists as Brentford finished 10th. Thomas Frank has stated that the club would be open to selling Mbeumo, but only if their valuation is met.
A versatile attacking player, Mbeumo is comfortable playing both out wide or through the middle. He has made 242 appearances for Brentford, scoring 70 goals and providing 51 assists. Mbeumo has also been capped 18 times by Cameroon, scoring four goals.
Manchester United are seeking attacking reinforcements this summer after registering just 44 league goals last term. They’ve already signed Matheus Cunha from Wolverhampton Wanderers and had interest in Ipswich Town’s Liam Delap before he joined Chelsea.
