Manchester United are reportedly setting their sights on Brentford's dynamic forward Bryan Mbeumo, as pressure mounts from fans for the club to bolster their attacking options this summer.
The 24-year-old Cameroonian international has been a standout performer for the Bees, contributing 15 goals and 10 assists across all competitions last season. His versatility and pace have caught the attention of several top clubs, with United now emerging as serious contenders for his signature.
Fan Frustration Grows
Red Devils supporters have taken to social media to express their frustration at the club's slow start to the transfer window. Many see Mbeumo as an ideal addition to Erik ten Hag's squad, offering both width and goal threat from the right flank.
Brentford's Stance
Brentford are understood to value their star attacker at around £50 million, having recently extended his contract until 2026. The West London club have developed a reputation for driving hard bargains, as evidenced by their negotiations for previous departures.
How Mbeumo Could Fit at Old Trafford
The French-born forward's skill set could provide United with several tactical options:
- Direct competition for Antony on the right wing
- Potential partnership with Rasmus Højlund up front
- Additional set-piece threat
- Pressing intensity that suits Ten Hag's system
With United needing to comply with Financial Fair Play regulations, any move for Mbeumo would likely require player sales first. The club have already been linked with several departures as they look to reshape their squad.
