Bryan Mbeumo to Man Utd is now more than a rumour — Brentford’s director of football, Phil Giles, has confirmed the player’s interest in a move to Old Trafford, but says he could still remain in West London if the deal isn’t right.
Manchester United and Brentford remain locked in negotiations over a fee. Sky Sports reports that Brentford want over £65 million, while United’s current offer stands at £62.5 million with add-ons.
Mbeumo has been one of Brentford’s standout players in recent years. And now, with interest from Man Utd and Tottenham, the 25-year-old is weighing his next step.
Brentford Stand Firm on £65m Price Tag
Phil Giles made Brentford’s stance clear in an exclusive interview:
“His current preference has been well publicised. If we get the right offer, there is the potential for a deal to be done — but it’s not a given that he’s going to depart this summer.” — Phil Giles, Brentford DoF
United are pushing to agree a structured deal, but Brentford’s valuation reflects both Mbeumo’s Premier League output and his importance to Thomas Frank’s system.
Why Mbeumo Wants the Move
Mbeumo is said to favour a transfer to United over Spurs — despite the London club appointing his current boss Thomas Frank. A move to Old Trafford would represent a step up and the chance to play in European competition.
Brentford, meanwhile, are willing to hold firm unless their demands are fully met.
How Much is Bryan Mbeumo Worth?
| Stat | Value (2024/25) |
|---|---|
| Premier League Goals | 13 |
| Assists | 7 |
| Chances Created | 53 |
| Expected Transfer Fee | £65m+ |
| Contract Ends | 2026 |
Analyst Verdict
This deal is shaping up to be a classic summer standoff. Brentford know they hold the power — Mbeumo is under contract and happy to stay. But with United determined and Mbeumo eager for the move, the pressure could mount.
If Spurs or another rival club come in, it could force United to raise their offer quickly.

Which Netflix season are we in here? They've been talking for ages... Would be fun if in the end he ends-up at the Spurs.
