Manchester, July 17, 2025 — Manchester United have submitted a significantly improved bid to sign Bryan Mbeumo from Brentford, with the new offer valued at £65 million guaranteed plus £5 million in add-ons, according to an exclusive report from The Athletic’s David Ornstein.
The 26-year-old forward has emerged as a key target for United as they look to strengthen their attacking options ahead of the 2025/26 season. Mbeumo, who enjoyed an impressive campaign with Brentford last season, is admired for his versatility, high work rate, and ability to deliver in the final third.
United’s latest proposal reflects their determination to get the deal over the line, having already held internal discussions on how Mbeumo would fit into Erik ten Hag’s system. The club now awaits Brentford’s response, with negotiations expected to progress quickly in the coming days.
Mbeumo has been a standout performer for Brentford since their promotion to the Premier League and is seen as one of the most consistent attacking threats outside the traditional “big six.” Brentford, however, will be reluctant to part with such a crucial player and are weighing their options carefully.
Should the deal go through, it would represent one of the most high-profile sales in Brentford’s history and a major reinforcement for Manchester United’s frontline.
