Manchester United are preparing a bold £50 million swoop for Brentford's dynamic forward Bryan Mbeumo, according to reports emerging this week.
The Red Devils have identified the 24-year-old Cameroon international as a prime target to bolster their attacking options, with manager Erik ten Hag keen to add more firepower to his squad ahead of the new season.
Mbeumo's Impressive Premier League Form
Mbeumo has established himself as one of Brentford's most consistent performers since their promotion to the Premier League, contributing 9 goals and 6 assists last campaign. His versatility to play across the front line makes him particularly attractive to United's recruitment team.
Brentford's Valuation Stance
The Bees are understood to value their star attacker at around £50 million, having previously rejected approaches from other top-flight clubs. With three years remaining on his contract, Thomas Frank's side are in a strong negotiating position.
United's Summer Rebuild Continues
This potential move comes as part of United's wider squad overhaul, with INEOS now overseeing football operations. The club have already secured the signing of Dutch striker Joshua Zirkzee from Bologna and remain active in the transfer market.
Should the deal progress, Mbeumo would compete with the likes of Marcus Rashford, Alejandro Garnacho and Amad Diallo for starting spots at Old Trafford.
