Manchester United are reportedly plotting a late-window move for Brentford's dynamic forward Bryan Mbeumo, as Erik ten Hag looks to add firepower to his squad.
The Cameroon international has impressed since Brentford's promotion to the Premier League, with his pace and direct style catching the eye of several top clubs.
Why Mbeumo Fits Ten Hag's System
United's interest stems from Mbeumo's versatility - capable of playing across the front line - and his impressive output last season. The 24-year-old contributed 15 goals in all competitions, demonstrating the end product Ten Hag demands from his attackers.
Brentford's Stance on Potential Deal
Sources suggest Brentford would demand a significant fee for their star asset, likely exceeding £40 million. With Thomas Frank's side having already lost Ivan Toney for the first half of the season, they may be reluctant to sanction another key departure.
United's Transfer Strategy
This surprise move comes as United continue their search for attacking reinforcements. While other targets have proved difficult to secure, Mbeumo represents a more attainable option who could provide immediate competition for places.
The potential transfer would add depth to United's right flank, where Antony has struggled for consistency since his big-money move from Ajax.
