Manchester United have been handed a major boost ahead of the summer transfer window as Brentford winger Bryan Mbeumo has made it clear he wants to join the Red Devils, according to fresh reports. Despite interest from Newcastle United, the 24- year-old forward appears to be Old Trafford-bound, with transfer talks reportedly set to open in the coming days.
The news comes at a critical time for United, who are reeling from a historically poor season. The club finished 15th in the Premier League with just 42 points – their lowest tally and placement since the competition’s inception in 1992. To make matters worse, they also fell short in the Europa League final, losing to domestic rivals Tottenham Hotspur.
Manager Ruben Amorim is now under intense pressure to turn things around quickly, and the summer window is shaping up to be a crucial one. The Portuguese tactician has already secured the signature of Matheus Cunha from Wolves, and now Mbeumo looks likely to follow.
According to The Athletic, Mbeumo prefers a move to Manchester United over Newcastle United, despite the Magpies showing strong interest. The Cameroonian international had a solid 2024-25 campaign with Brentford and is viewed as a dynamic attacking option who can add pace, width, and creativity to United’s frontline.
For United fans, the potential addition of Mbeumo is a glimmer of hope after a dismal campaign. His arrival would bring much-needed energy to an attack that looked blunt for large parts of the season. With Antony and Jadon Sancho underperforming and Marcus Rashford struggling with consistency, Mbeumo could quickly become a key figure under Amorim.
As talks between Manchester United and Brentford loom, supporters will be eager for official confirmation that one of the Premier League’s most exciting wingers is ready to light up Old Trafford next season.
