Manchester United Land Bryan Mbeumo in Blockbuster Deal Worth £71 million
Manchester United have completed the high-profile signing of Bryan Mbeumo from Brentford in a transfer valued at £71 million. The 25-year-old Cameroon international arrives at Old Trafford as the third major acquisition under new manager Ruben Amorim, following months of speculation. Mbeumo’s addition is seen as a strategic move to enhance United’s attacking options for the upcoming season.
Mbeumo impressed in the Premier League last season with 20 goals, ranking behind only Salah, Isak, and Haaland. His overall contribution of 27 goal involvements highlighted his impact, especially when compared to Manchester United’s underwhelming offensive numbers during the same period. Initial offers were rejected by Brentford, but the final proposal—£65 million plus £6 million in bonuses—was accepted, leading to a completed transfer and a five-year contract with an optional extra year.
His performance metrics further underline his value. Mbeumo significantly outperformed his expected goals (xG) from open play, showing elite finishing ability. Additionally, his role in Brentford’s build-up play was critical, with only Bruno Fernandes recording more open-play shot involvements at United. His signing addresses United’s need for a consistent, creative force in the final third.
Club officials, including Director of Football Jason Wilcox, have praised Mbeumo’s track record and mentality. With proven consistency over multiple seasons and a clear alignment with the club’s new direction, Mbeumo is expected to be a key figure in Amorim’s revamped Manchester United, bringing pace, sharp finishing, and a winning mindset to Old Trafford.
