English Premier league outfit Manchester United completed the signing of Cameroon winger Bryan Mbeumo from Brentford in July, seven weeks after the club made their first official bid for his signature.
The deal is valued at about £71 million, which was accepted by Brentford for his transfer. The Red Devils suffered a dismal 2024/25 campaign with their joint-worst finish and point tally since the 1973/74, highlighting the need for a summer rebuild.
Manager Ruben Amorim’s side have significantly strengthened the squad, with the additions of the Cameroon forward and top signings including Mattheus Cunha and Benjamin Sesko.

The 25-year-old has developed into one of the best attackers in the English Premier league, including scoring 20 goals and seven assists in the league last season, the third most contributions only behind Mohamed Salah and Alexander Isak, highlighting remarkable improvements.
Transfer fee and contract details for Mbeumo
Manchester United paid a guaranteed £65 million in four installments, plus a potential £6 million in performance-related add-ons.
