Man United Press Forward With £70m+ Bryan Mbeumo Deal
Manchester United aren't wasting time this transfer window. Talks with Brentford over Bryan Mbeumo have hit top gear, with United ready to spend over £70 million—making a real statement after a disappointing campaign up front last season. The pacey Cameroon international, who stunned everyone with 20 league goals, is expected to bolster Ruben Amorim’s attacking options. Club insiders say the deal involves £65 million up front and another £5 million in performance-based add-ons, a solid jump from their earlier £55 million bid.
Sources close to Brentford suggest there’s still some hesitation. The West London side isn’t keen to lose both Mbeumo and Yoane Wissa, especially since Newcastle have their eyes set on Wissa. But United are confident—Mbeumo’s medical is already penciled in, and the expectation is he’ll join up before the team’s pre-season tour in the US. His ability to play across the front line gives Amorim plenty of options, something that’s been sorely lacking at Old Trafford.
Overhauling the Squad: New Faces and Big Departures
This isn’t just about Mbeumo. United are full throttle on rebuilding the squad. Matheus Cunha has arrived from Wolves, hoping to bring some edge to a toothless attack. Diego Leon signed on from Cerro Porteno, while Enzo Kana-Biyik was snapped up but immediately sent to Lausanne-Sport to get more regular minutes. Nothing is being left to chance—United are desperate to find the right mix after last season exposed too many weaknesses.
There’s been no lack of movement going out either. Christian Eriksen has left looking for a new challenge, and Victor Lindelof is off too. Jonny Evans, the experienced centre-back, has retired from the pitch but isn’t disappearing—he’s now overseeing player loans and pathway planning. It’s about building a squad that can adapt, develop, and compete at every level, both now and in the future.
Youth prospects are heading out on loan for experience. Sam Murray joined Carlisle United, while Sonny Aljofree will spend next season at Notts County. Dan Gore, Habeeb Ogunneye, and Kana-Biyik round out the young talent heading out to Rotherham, Newport County, and Switzerland respectively. The club also released several young players, clearing space for new faces and keeping the development pipeline moving.
Behind all this shuffling, there’s a clear priority: United know they need a new number one between the sticks and at least one more sharp edge in the attack. The chance to sign a proven Premier League scorer like Mbeumo is huge, but the work isn’t over yet. United fans can expect more twists and turns before the window closes.
