Manchester United have officially completed the signing of Bryan Mbeumo from Brentford in a deal worth €75 million fixed plus performance-related add-ons. The 25-year-old Cameroon international has signed a five-year contract until June 2030.
The transfer marks another significant step in United’s rebuilding process under manager Ruben Amorim, who is keen to add more firepower after last season’s disappointing campaign.
Premier League Star with Proven Goal Record
Mbeumo emerged as one of the Premier League’s top scorers last season, netting 20 goals and playing a key role for Brentford. His consistency and versatility have made him a standout performer since arriving in England from French club Troyes in 2019.
“I grew up watching Manchester United and wearing their shirt as a kid,” Mbeumo told the club’s official media.
“As soon as I heard of the opportunity, I knew it was the right move. This is my dream club.”
Big Ambitions at Old Trafford
United finished 15th in the Premier League last season, scoring only 44 goals—the fourth-lowest tally in the league. Strengthening the attack was a priority for Amorim, who recently secured Matheus Cunha from Wolves. Now, with Mbeumo’s arrival, United hope to rediscover their scoring touch.
“My mentality is always to be better than yesterday,” Mbeumo said.
“I believe in my character and spirit to reach another level here, learning from the manager and playing with world-class players.”
Deal Details and Future Impact
While the club has not disclosed official figures, British media reports confirm the deal exceeds €80m, including add-ons. The base transfer fee is €75m, making Mbeumo one of United’s most expensive signings in recent years.
With his pace, creativity, and finishing ability, the Cameroonian forward is expected to play a pivotal role in United’s attack as they aim to bounce back from last season’s struggles.
