Bryan Mbeumo to Manchester United? Red Devils Eye Brentford Star Amid Transfer Shake-Up
Manchester United are making bold moves in the summer transfer market, and one name that's gathering serious attention is Brentford's Bryan Mbeumo. After a stellar Premier League season where he netted 20 goals in 38 appearances, United are reportedly preparing to approach Brentford for the prolific forward—who they believe could be the perfect fit in Ruben Amorim’s attacking system.
Now, let’s talk about why this is such a big deal.
With Liam Delap choosing Chelsea, United had to quickly pivot, and Mbeumo has emerged as a top target. He’s entering the final year of his contract with Brentford—although the club does have an option to extend it—and while Brentford aren’t under pressure to sell, there's a growing feeling internally that Mbeumo deserves a shot at a bigger stage. And let’s face it, Old Trafford is about as big as it gets.

United are expected to move fast, especially with uncertainties around Alejandro Garnacho’s future and Chelsea sending Jadon Sancho back to Manchester. Amad Diallo and Bruno Fernandes were the top scorers for United last season with only eight goals each, which makes Mbeumo’s output even more attractive. That’s a serious goal gap that needs to be filled.
Stats back up the buzz. Mbeumo wasn’t just scoring goals—he was leading Brentford’s entire attacking play. He clocked in 7 assists and had the highest expected assists (9.26) in the league. Over 200 crosses. Fourth-fastest speed in the league. One of the top runners and sprinters. And here's a staggering figure: his 27 total goal contributions helped secure 22 points for Brentford—that’s 40% of their entire Premier League tally. He didn’t just play well; he carried that team at times.
From United’s side, things are looking clearer too. Their captain Bruno Fernandes has rejected a big-money move to Saudi club Al-Hilal, reaffirming his commitment to stay—unless a major European offer comes in. That’s a big win for Amorim, who now needs someone like Mbeumo to link up and bring goals to the side.
Yes, United will face competition. Other Premier League clubs are circling, and Brentford value Mbeumo at over £60 million. But if United want to give Amorim every tool to succeed, this is the kind of signing that shows ambition—and intent.
If Mbeumo does make the move to Manchester, fans can expect a high-energy, dynamic, and consistent performer who’s entering his peak years. For now, we watch and wait—but one thing’s for sure: this transfer could be a game-changer for the Red Devils.
