‘Man United make big Bryan Mbeumo statement’ – fans wowed by Ornstein’s update
Man United fans have urged the club to complete the signing of Bryan Mbeumo following a major update on his future.
The 25-year-old enjoyed another standout season at Brentford, scoring 20 Premier League goals and establishing himself as one of the most in-demand forwards heading into the summer window.
Football Insider revealed that Newcastle are prepared to meet Brentford’s asking price for Mbeumo, with the Cameroon international sitting at the top of their transfer wishlist.
However, they’re not alone in their pursuit as Manchester United are also keen on Mbeumo, viewing him as a key target to bolster their attacking options after already securing Matheus Cunha.
With both clubs pushing hard, the latest developments appeared to boost United’s chances, prompting a wave of excitement among supporters hopeful that he could soon be on his way to Old Trafford.
Bryan Mbeumo makes Man United his preferred transfer destination
David Ornstein of The Athletic reported on X that Mbeumo has “decided to join Man United” with the club now expected to begin formal talks with Brentford.
Despite interest from Newcastle, Arsenal and Tottenham, he is said to “favour” a move to Old Trafford, with Manchester United emerging as his top choice.
The 25-year-old has just one year left on his current contract, and Football Insider revealed that Brentford are under growing pressure to resolve Mbeumo’s future.
It’s believed that a fee in the region of £50 million would be enough to persuade the Bees to part ways with one of their most valuable players.
With Man United already signing Cunha, Mbeumo could become the side second signing of the summer as they look to rebuild under Ruben Amorim.
Man United fans urge Bryan Mbeumo signing as transfer edges closer
United’s struggles in front of goal have been a key issue, with Rasmus Hojlund and Joshua Zirkzee failing to convince when leading the line.
Mbeumo offers versatility, able to play on the right wing or through the middle, and finished the season with 29 goals and assists across all competitions, making him one of the most productive attackers in the Premier League.
Should a deal be agreed, the signing would represent a major boost for Amorim’s side, and fans have already welcomed the latest developments with enthusiasm.
One supporter wrote: “Mbeumo is the perfect player for us, he’s Premier League proven. Ready to take the next step up” while another called it a “Big statement.”
