Manchester United are on the verge of completing a major transfer deal with Brentford, as the club has reached an agreement to sign Bryan Mbeumo for a fee exceeding £70 million ($94m), according to sources cited by ESPN. The French forward, who has been a target for several top European clubs, is expected to join the Red Devils in the coming weeks, marking a significant financial commitment for the club.
The move is seen as a crucial step in strengthening United’s attacking options for the 2024-25 season. Mbeumo, 26, has been a key player for Brentford since joining the club in 2020, and his arrival at Old Trafford is anticipated to bolster their squad depth. The high transfer fee reflects the high value placed on his talents, with United looking to add quality to their forward line amid competitive pressures in the Premier League and European competitions.
