Latest Manchester United news
Manchester United are reportedly at the verge of securing Brentford sensation Bryan Mbeumo for £60 million, with add-ons of an additional £5 million. The 25-year-old winger has been one of the most sensational potential signings in the last few days, with incoming manager Rúben Amorim seeking to retool United's offense ahead of the 2025/26 season.
Manchester United Power Move
Having acquired Wolves' Matheus Cunha on a £62.5 million deal, United are now working overtime to sign Mbeumo, who has become one of the Premier League's most consistent forwards. The Cameroon international netted 20 league goals and provided 9 assists in the previous season and was courted by many top clubs. But it appears United have swept their competitors aside with a considerable offer.
Sources close to the talks have confirmed that Manchester United have already agreed the fee structure with Brentford. The transfer is to be finalized by the end of the month, pending a medical test and personal terms agreement.
We are aware that United are very confident that the transfer will be done prior to July 7th, therefore Mbeumo can join the team and begin pre-season training," a source told The Guardian.
Amorim's Plan for Mbeumo
Manager Rúben Amorim has been afforded much influence over United's transfer policy, and Mbeumo suits him high-pressing, fast-transition style perfectly. The winger's graft, pace, and creativity out on the right flank are considered the ideal counterbalance to the likes of Rasmus Højlund and Bruno Fernandes.
Amorim is reported to view Mbeumo as goal-scoring threat and a tactical key to solve a team that was not consistent last season.
Contract & Wage
United has reportedly offered Mbeumo a weekly wage of around £150,000, which will be in line with the salary of Cunha. The contract will run until June 2030, and an extension is available based on performance metrics.
United Other Transfer Rumours
United transfer window is heating up apart from Mbeumo:
- Reportedly by talkSPORT that Barcelona are trying to sign Marcus Rashford on loan, but United are yet to decide.
- The Sun says United and Chelsea have discussed a rumored exchange deal for Alejandro Garnacho and Christopher Nkunku, with sources claiming a straight exchange is "highly unlikely" and that United are negotiating for Nkunku separately.
What's Next?
If all goes to schedule, Bryan Mbeumo can be unveiled as a United player before the club leaves for their pre-season tour of the United States. Supporters are already in a state of high anticipation, with the club's aggressive summer recruitment signaling a strong determination to challenge for trophies next season.
