Manchester United have completed the 71million signing of Bryan Mbeumo from Brentford on a five-year contract.The deal for the Cameroonian forward includes a fixed fee of 65m with 6m in potential add-ons.Mbeumo, who has signed until June 2030 with the option of a further year, has joined in time to be part of the United squad that flies to the United States on Tuesday for the club’s pre-season tour.The forward 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.”Mbeumo emerged as a top target for United this summer after the club scored just 44 Premier League goals in 2024-25, their lowest ever single-season tally in the re-branded top flight.Mbeumo’s rise began in the youth ranks of Troyes before moving to Brentford in 2019 for 5.8m.He has since notched up 70 goals in 242 appearances across all competitions for the west London club, 20 of those coming in the Premier League last season.The post Man United confirm Bryan Mbeumo signing from Brentford in a 71m deal appeared first on Linda Ikeji Blog.
