Manchester United are finally set to sign Cameroon forward Bryan Mbeumo after Brentford accepted the Red Devils’ latest bid of £70 million.

Manchester United have finally reached an agreement with Brentford over the transfer of Cameroon forward Bryan Mbeumo.

United made a final bid of £70 million this week which their Premier League rivals have now accepted, allowing the Cameroon forward to move up north to join the Red Devils.

The two clubs have been in a long-drawn negotiation in the last one month over the fee with Brentford holding out for £70 million which United will now pay to secure their man.

According to The Athletic, Mbeumo’s fee will be £65 million, plus £6 million in add-ons, paid in four installments, and he will sign a five-year contract until 2030 with United having the option to extend by a further year.

United had already agreed personal terms with Mbeumo who was clear that he only wanted the Red Devils, which put off other suitors and he stayed patient as he waited for the two clubs to reach an agreement.

Mbeumo joined Brentford from French club Troyes in 2019 and has been a key player for the Bees since, scoring 70 goals and providing 51 assists in 242 games across all competitions.

He became a hot property this summer after scoring 20 goals and chipping in with nine assists last season, all of them bagged in 38 Premier League games, as he did not miss a single match for the London club.

A right winger, who can also play as an inside forward, the left-footed Mbeumo will add firepower to Ruben Amorim’s attack and will likely play as one of the two No10s in the Portuguese coach’s preferred 3-4-3 system, alongside another new signing Matheus Cunha, while captain Bruno Fernandes drops deeper into the No8 role.
