Man United agree deal to sign Bryan Mbeumo from Brentford for £71million

Manchester United have reached an agreement with Brentford to sign Bryan Mbeumo.

United submitted an improved offer of £65m plus £6m in add-ons on on Thursday for the 25-year-old Cameroon forward. Their previous bid of £55m plus £7.5m in add-ons was rejected several weeks ago.

Now, their improved offer has been accepted by the Bees. The player has two years left on his current deal.

Mbeumo is now expected to have a medical at United in the coming days and there is growing optimism the forward will be part of the club’s squad that flies out to the United States for their preseason tour on Tuesday.

Mbeumo will become United’s third signing of this transfer window following the arrivals of Matheus Cunha and teenage defender Diego Leon.

The former France international joined Brentford for £5.8m in 2019 from Troyes, and he has gone on to score 70 goals in 242 games, including 42 in 136 Premier League matches.
