Bryan Mbeumo has caught the eye of Manchester United this summer, with reports stating that Brentford are demanding a hefty £60 million fee for the talented winger. Despite already securing Matheus Cunha from Wolves for £62.5 million, United are eager to bolster their attacking options and Ruben Amorim is determined to strengthen his squad even further.
It is believed that Mbeumo, who has also attracted interest from Newcastle United, is keen on making the move to Old Trafford in the upcoming transfer window. The 25-year-old has just one year left on his contract with Brentford, but according to The Times, the club is holding out for a substantial fee for their star player.
As negotiations heat up, United are reportedly preparing for formal talks with Brentford, while The Bees have accepted that Mbeumo will likely leave this summer.

His manager, Thomas Frank, recognizes his value and has stated that if Mbeumo is to be sold, it will be for a significant amount. He adds, "It is a lot. Mucho. Really a lot." Frank also highlights Mbeumo's unique abilities, noting his work ethic, character, and seven assists in addition to his goal-scoring prowess.
Former United defender, Wes Brown, has also weighed in on the potential signing of Mbeumo, urging his former club to make a move for the talented winger. "Signing Bryan Mbeumo would be a no-brainer for Manchester United," says Brown. "We know exactly what he can do." Brown praises Mbeumo's unpredictability and work rate, and believes he would be an amazing addition to the team.
It remains to be seen if United will meet Brentford's asking price for Mbeumo, but one thing is for sure - the talented winger has caught the attention of big clubs and is sure to make an impact wherever he ends up.
