DONE DEAL: Bryan Mbeumo ‘Says YES!’ to Manchester United Transfer — £65M Star Instantly Becomes Fan Favourite at Old Trafford
Manchester, UK – June 26, 2025
Manchester United have completed the sensational signing of Bryan Mbeumo from Brentford in a blockbuster £65 million deal, with the dynamic forward reportedly saying a resounding “YES” to the move after weeks of speculation.
The 25-year-old Cameroon international, who dazzled in the Premier League last season with 14 goals and 10 assists despite Brentford’s mid-table finish, is set to wear the iconic No. 7 shirt — a bold signal of his status and the club’s belief in his star power.
United confirmed the deal early Thursday morning with a statement:
“Manchester United is delighted to announce the signing of Bryan Mbeumo from Brentford. He will join the squad immediately for pre-season and is expected to play a key role in our attacking plans for the 2025/26 campaign.”
Mbeumo, known for his blistering pace, technical flair, and tireless work rate, was reportedly Erik ten Hag’s top target this summer as United aim to bolster their right flank and add versatility to the front line. With Antony’s inconsistent form and Sancho’s future still uncertain, Mbeumo is expected to slot directly into the starting XI.
Speaking to French outlet L’Équipe, Mbeumo said:
“It was not an easy decision, but Manchester United is one of the biggest clubs in the world. The vision, the fans, the challenge — I couldn’t say no. I’m coming here to win.”
The player has already begun to win over fans with his humble personality and hunger for success. In his first interview with MUTV, he stated:
“I’m not here for the spotlight. I’m here for the badge. I want to bring energy, goals, and trophies back to Old Trafford.”
Mbeumo’s signing is seen as a statement of intent from Manchester United, who are looking to reclaim Premier League glory and make a deep Champions League run next season. The club reportedly fended off late interest from Bayern Munich and PSG to land the versatile winger, whose ability to play across the front three adds much-needed depth.
Pundits have already hailed the transfer as a “masterstroke,” citing Mbeumo’s Premier League experience and his proven consistency under pressure. Former United captain Gary Neville weighed in on social media:
“Finally — United sign someone Premier League ready. Mbeumo will cause havoc. Great business.”
With Mbeumo’s arrival, and additional signings expected in midfield and defense, Manchester United’s summer rebuild appears well underway. Fans are now eagerly awaiting his debut, with pre-season fixtures in the U.S. just weeks away.
As one banner at Old Trafford read this morning:
“Mbeumo’s Red — Let the magic begin.”
