25-year-old Cameroonian forward Bryan Mbeumo has completed his much-anticipated move to Manchester United from Brentford. It took more than 40 days before the two English clubs were able to reach an agreement for the forward who can also play as a winger.
Brentford initially demanded 62m pounds but later changed their price because of how things are panning out in the ongoing transfer window, as players who come nowhere near their star man were being sold for 50m pounds.
The two clubs finally agreed on a 71 million pounds deal for the French-born player who scored 20 Premier League goals and provided 7 assists. Mbeumo has inked 6 6-year deal with the Red Devils. He is expected to be among Manchester United’s squad for the USA for the pre-season.
The club officially announced.
Manchester United is pleased to confirm that Bryan Mbeumo has joined the club, subject to registration. The Cameroon international has signed a contract until June 2030, with the option to extend for a further year.
Last season, Mbeumo, 25, scored 20 Premier League goals, the fourth highest in the league, and registered a further eight assists. Since Brentford’s promotion to the top flight, Mbeumo has averaged an impressive 18 goal contributions per season.
Mbeumo on his move to Manchester United.
“As soon as I knew there was a chance to join Manchester United, I had to take the opportunity to sign for the club of my dreams; the team whose shirt I wore growing up.
“My mentality is to always be better than I was yesterday. I know that I have the spirit and character to reach another level here, learning from Ruben Amorim and playing alongside world-class players.
“Everybody told me about the environment that is being created here and how exciting the plans are for the future. This is a massive club, with an incredible stadium and amazing fans. We are all really determined to challenge for the biggest trophies.”
Jason Wilcox, Director of Football, expressed his delight in signing Mbeumo
“Bryan’s goals and assists record in the Premier League is exceptional. His remarkable consistency has put him amongst the most productive players in England for the last three seasons.
“Bryan’s belief in our project and determination to join the club confirmed that he was the perfect fit for Manchester United and the culture that we are developing.
“We are delighted to have secured another one of our primary targets ahead of the pre-season tour. The experience in the US will be the perfect opportunity for Bryan to work with Ruben and his new teammates as we prepare for an exciting season ahead.”
