Manchester United have officially confirmed that Bryan Mbeumo has completed his move to the club, joining from Brentford.
Heading into the summer transfer window, adding goals to the team was Ruben Amorim’s top transfer priority. United partially addressed it as they quickly wrapping up a deal to sign Matheus Cunha from Wolverhampton Wanderers.
The Red Devils then quickly turned their attention towards luring Mbeumo to Old Trafford. Mbeumo enjoyed a prolific 2024/25 campaign, netting a career-high 20 Premier League goals.
United had two offers for him rejected by Brentford, who held out for a financial package of £70m.
Last week, news broke that United had met Brentford’s valuation as they sent in a third bid worth a base payment of £65m in four instalments, as well as £6m in add-ons.
