Manchester United are closing in on the signing of Brentford forward Bryan Mbeumo, with the club eager to complete the deal ahead of the 2025 pre-season campaign scheduled to begin on July 7.
The 25-year-old Cameroon international enjoyed a breakout season in the Premier League, netting 20 goals and contributing eight assists.
Reports suggest United’s improved offer, now in excess of £60 million—including bonuses—and personal terms have already been agreed.
Securing Mbeumo before pre-season would be a major boost for manager Ruben Amorim, who has already backed his squad with the signing of Matheus Cunha and is expected to pursue a centre-forward next.
The attacking duo are intended to inject greater cutting edge into United’s forward line ahead of the new campaign.
The deal also represents a significant financial move for Brentford. With only a year remaining on his contract, the Bees are poised to record Mbeumo as their most lucrative departure, helping fund their ongoing rebuild and managerial transition.
Mbeumo has expressed a clear preference for Old Trafford and appears ready to embrace life at United, while the club is equally determined to finalise the deal before players reconvene for pre-season.
