Manchester United have submitted their third offer for Brentford forward Bryan Mbeumo, with the package potentially reaching £70 million. The proposal consists of an initial £65 million fee plus £5 million in performance-related add-ons.
Brentford have not yet provided a response to Manchester United’s latest approach for the 25-year-old Cameroon international.
United officials remain optimistic about securing Mbeumo’s signature and were hoping to complete the transfer before their departure to the United States on Tuesday. The club has scheduled three pre-season fixtures during their 13-day American tour, with Chicago serving as their primary training base.
While recent reports have connected United with Chelsea’s Nicolas Jackson and Aston Villa goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez, sources indicate that finalizing the Mbeumo acquisition has been the club’s main transfer priority. This would allow manager Ruben Amorim to integrate the forward into his tactical setup during the US training camp.
Mbeumo attracted attention from multiple clubs following his impressive 20-goal Premier League campaign last season. Tottenham, now under the management of former Brentford manager Thomas Frank, were among the interested parties. However, Mbeumo reportedly favors a move to Old Trafford.
The potential departure of Mbeumo would leave Brentford without one of their primary attacking threats. Their other key goalscorer, striker Yoane Wissa, has drawn interest from Newcastle United.
Manager Amorim has consistently highlighted United’s struggles with clinical finishing throughout the previous season. The team’s 44 Premier League goals represented their lowest domestic league total since the 1973-74 relegation campaign.
United have already completed two signings this summer, bringing in forward Matheus Cunha and defender Diego Leon.
Should the Mbeumo transfer materialize, it would likely result in tactical adjustments. Captain Bruno Fernandes may be deployed in a deeper midfield position, as Cunha is expected to occupy one of the two inside forward roles behind the main striker in Amorim’s preferred system.
The potential arrival would further diminish the prospects of four currently excluded forwards: Marcus Rashford, Alejandro Garnacho, Jadon Sancho, and Antony. These players remain in first-team exile and face reduced opportunities for reintegration.
Manchester United begin their Premier League campaign with a home fixture against Arsenal on August 17.

High Court Decision Awaited on Wimbledon Tennis Site Expansion Challenge
A High Court judge is scheduled to deliver a ruling on Monday regarding a legal challenge to the approved expansion of the Wimbledon tennis venue. Save Wimbledon Park (SWP) campaigners brought the challenge against the Greater London Authority's (GLA) 2023 decision to approve the All England Club's development plans. The proposed expansion would nearly triple the tournament site's size by adding 38 tennis courts and constructing an 8,000-seat stadium on the former Wimbledon Park Golf Club grounds. Mr. Justice Saini will announce his decision at 2pm on Monday. The All England Club acquired the golf club property from members in 2021 with development intentions, subsequently submitting planning applications to both Merton and Wandsworth councils, as the park spans both boroughs. The comprehensive development plans include tennis courts, supporting infrastructure, seven maintenance buildings, access points, and designated parkland areas with public […]
