Bryan Mbeumo to Man United transfer talks have reached the final stages, with the Brentford star expected to undergo a medical at Carrington next week as part of a £63m deal.

Manchester United’s long-standing interest in the Cameroon international is about to bear fruit, after an initial £55m bid was rejected. A revised offer, exceeding £60m, has brought them closer to Brentford’s valuation, with talkSPORT confirming medical arrangements are in motion.

With Matheus Cunha already through the door for £62.5m, United’s Premier League-proven recruitment strategy is in full swing as they look to give Ruben Amorim a sharper attacking edge before pre-season kicks off.

Brentford Braced as United Step Up Mbeumo Pursuit

“Mbeumo’s sale must be for a nice, nice amount,” said Thomas Frank. “It is a lot. Mucho. Really a lot.” — Thomas Frank

Brentford manager Thomas Frank made it clear earlier this year: if Bryan Mbeumo is to leave, it must be for a sum that reflects his influence. The 25-year-old scored 20 Premier League goals last season and was Brentford’s talisman after Ivan Toney’s departure.

Why Amorim Sees Mbeumo as a Tactical Fit

Amorim’s 3-4-3 system thrives on dynamic wide forwards. Mbeumo’s blend of pace, pressing intelligence, and final-third efficiency make him a natural fit. His off-ball work rate and elite shot conversion (19.8%) add value even beyond raw numbers.

United Want Mbeumo in Before Pre-Season Opener

With training restarting July 7 and a clash against Leeds United set for July 19 in Stockholm, United are pushing to integrate Mbeumo into the squad early. Their U.S. summer tour includes matches against West Ham, Bournemouth and Everton — ideal bedding-in time.

Analyst Verdict

Mbeumo’s signing is exactly the type of aggressive, smart business United need. At 25, he’s hitting his prime, boasts Premier League pedigree, and brings Champions League ambition. Amorim clearly sees him as a starter — not just depth. The only question now is: how does Marcus Rashford fit into this front three?

Key Insights

  • Mbeumo deal could exceed £63m
  • Medical expected next week at Carrington
  • Amorim targets full pre-season squad
  • United already signed Matheus Cunha
  • Mbeumo scored 20 league goals last season
  • Brentford resigned to losing their star forward

What’s Next?

Expect formal contract signing by the end of next week if the medical clears. United could then shift focus to midfield and goalkeeper targets, with outgoings also needed to balance books.

If Mbuemo arrives at Manchester United will he contribute more than Cunha?
