Manchester United are anticipating a breakthrough in their pursuit of Bryan Mbeumo as they await a response from Brentford following their latest bid.
The Premier League giants have made a third offer worth £70 million for the Cameroonian forward, with hopes that Brentford will finally agree to terms.
Mbeumo, who represents Cameroon at international level, has been a top target for United this summer.
The Red Devils previously had two offers turned down but remain determined to land the 25-year-old, who has already expressed a desire to make the move to Old Trafford.
According to reports from the Mirror, United submitted their improved third bid within the last 24 hours and are optimistic Brentford will provide a positive update today.
The forward has also agreed to personal terms, a significant step that signals his readiness to complete the switch.
Should the deal be finalised, Mbeumo is expected to take up the No.19 shirt at Manchester United—his preferred number and the same one he currently wears for Brentford. The number has been vacant since Raphael Varane’s departure in 2024.
Mbeumo enjoyed an outstanding 2024/25 campaign, netting 20 goals in the Premier League. His performances have made him one of the league’s most productive forwards and a valuable asset for both club and country.
The potential addition of Mbeumo would bolster Ruben Amorim’s attacking options as he reshapes the squad ahead of the upcoming season.
With pre-season preparations underway, United are keen to finalise their transfer business early and integrate new signings quickly.
