Bryan Mbeumo signs with Manchester United from Brentford

Bryan Mbeumo has an option to extend his contract at Brentford until 2030, according to Manchester United.

According to a club source, United paid 65 million pounds ($88 million) for Brentford, with additional 6 million pounds ($8 million) likely to be spent on additions to the 25-year-old Cameroon international.

In the 2024-2025 league season, Mbeumo surpassed his previous best of 20 goals to lead Brentford to a respectable 10th-place finish in the Premier League. More league goals were scored by only Mohamed Salah (29), Alexander Isak (23), and Erling Haaland (22).

I had to take the opportunity to sign for the team whose shirt I wore as a child as soon as I realized I had a chance to play for Manchester United, Mbeumo said on Monday.

“It’s better for me than it was yesterday,” I say. I am aware of my character development, learning from [manager] Ruben Amorim and playing alongside world-class players, to advance to a new level.

The versatile Mbeumo, who started every league game last year, proved indispensable for Brentford and excelled as a right-winger.

In 2019, he made 242 appearances for the London club, contributing to the league’s 70 goals and adding 51 assists.

Bryanton has an outstanding Premier League goals and assists record. According to United’s director of football, Jason Wilcox, his remarkable consistency has made him one of England’s most productive players for the past three seasons.

“We’re thrilled that we’ve added one of our top targets to our preseason schedule.” As we gear up for a successful season, Bryan will have the perfect opportunity to collaborate with Ruben and his new teammates in the US.

Matheus Cunha, Diego Leon, and Enzo Kana-Biyik’s arrival make Mbeumo United’s fourth summer signing of the summer.

In the United States, United will play three preseason games: West Ham United in New Jersey on July 26, Bournemouth in Chicago on July 30 and Everton in Atlanta on August 3.
