Manchester United announce Bryan Mbeumo signing | OneFootball

Manchester United have officially announced the signing of Bryan Mbeumo from Brentford, securing the forward on a five-year deal with the option to extend for a further year.

The 25-year-old becomes United’s third signing of the summer under new boss Ruben Amorim, following the arrivals of Matheus Cunha and left-back Diego Leon.

The deal didn’t come easy. Negotiations between the two clubs stretched on for weeks, as they struggled to find common ground on Mbeumo’s valuation. In the end, United landed their man with a package worth £65 million up front, plus £5 million in potential add-ons.

Mbeumo heads to Old Trafford off the back of a standout season, having netted 20 Premier League goals - form that made him one of the most sought-after attackers in the league. The Cameroon international will now look to carry that momentum into his new chapter in Manchester.

Speaking on his move to Old Trafford, Mbeumo said: “As soon as I knew there was a chance to join Manchester United, I had to take the opportunity to sign for the club of my dreams; the team whose shirt I wore growing up.

“My mentality is to always be better than I was yesterday. I know that I have the spirit and character to reach another level here learning from Ruben Amorim and playing alongside world-class players.  “Everybody told me about the environment that is being created here and how exciting the plans are for the future. This is a massive club, with an incredible stadium and amazing fans, we are all really determined to challenge for the biggest trophies.”
