Manchester United Sign Bryan Mbeumo from Brentford for €83 Million After Ruben Amorim Saga Ends
Manchester United have completed the signing of Bryan Mbeumo from Brentford for €83 million (£70 million), ending a transfer saga that had stretched for over a month. The 25-year-old winger becomes one of the most high-profile signings of the summer and a key addition to new manager Rúben Amorim’s squad.
Italian journalist Fabrizio Romano confirmed that the deal is fully agreed, with Brentford finally giving the green light after all of their contractual demands were met. United had already reached personal terms with Mbeumo weeks earlier, but negotiations with Brentford had proven complex.
From the beginning, Mbeumo made it clear that he was eager to join the Red Devils, and his persistence helped accelerate the move once the clubs reached a financial agreement.
A Perfect Fit for Amorim’s System
Mbeumo is seen as a strong tactical fit for Amorim’s high-pressing and quick-transition style. Known for his pace, technical ability, and productivity in the final third, the Cameroonian international is expected to provide immediate impact on United’s right wing.
He joins a growing list of reinforcements at Old Trafford, including Brazilian forward Matheus Cunha, who arrived earlier in the window from Wolverhampton Wanderers.
Career Statistics and Profile
Mbeumo, who previously played for Troyes and Brentford, has amassed 289 career appearances, scoring 84 goals and delivering 55 assists across all competitions. His consistent performances in the Premier League and Championship have earned him a reputation as one of the most effective wingers outside the traditional “big six.”
At just 25 years old, Mbeumo brings both experience and long-term value to United’s frontline, adding depth and attacking threat ahead of a critical 2025/26 season.
United Eyes Stronger Campaign
Following a disappointing 2024/25 season that failed to meet expectations despite a managerial change, Manchester United are looking to bounce back with a significantly upgraded squad. The additions of Mbeumo and Cunha signal a renewed ambition to compete at the top of the Premier League and in European competition.
The club’s board is reportedly optimistic that Amorim now has the tools to build a more dynamic and competitive side as United aim to restore their status among England’s elite.
