The summer transfer window has just roared to life for Manchester United, as renowned journalist Fabrizio Romano has dropped the iconic phrase that all United fans love to hear: “Here We Go!” — confirming that Bryan Mbeumo is set to join the Red Devils in a major £70 million deal.
The news has set off huge excitement around Old Trafford and across the Premier League.
After weeks of negotiations, United have struck an agreement with Brentford for a deal reportedly worth £65 million upfront, with an additional £5 million in performance-related add-ons.
The breakthrough came after United submitted a third and final offer, having previously seen a £55 million proposal turned down earlier this summer, followed by a second unsuccessful bid.
New United boss Rúben Amorim has made it clear from the start of his tenure that improving the attack is a priority, and securing Mbeumo is a major step toward that goal.
The 24-year-old Cameroon international had an outstanding season in the Premier League, despite Brentford’s mid-table finish.
His tally of 10 goals and 8 assists caught the attention of Amorim and the United scouting department, earning him a spot at the top of the manager’s transfer wishlist.
Romano officially confirmed the deal via social media, stating:
“ Bryan Mbeumo to Manchester United, HERE WE GO! Deal agreed with Brentford for £65m plus £5m in add-ons.
Personal terms already in place. Mbeumo set to sign long-term contract — medical to be scheduled in the coming days.”
The contract will run until June 2030, with the option of a further year, taking it to 2031.
Mbeumo has already agreed personal terms, and he is expected to undergo his medical at Carrington shortly before being formally unveiled.
His arrival comes at a time when United are struggling for consistency in the final third.
With Antony’s struggles, Sancho’s future unclear, and Rashford’s form dipping, Amorim will see Mbeumo’s versatility — capable of playing on either wing or supporting centrally — as a much-needed boost.
His pace, energy, and technical ability make him a nightmare for defenders and a perfect fit for Amorim’s dynamic attacking system.
This also follows the recent signing of Matheus Cunha, showing United’s determination to completely revamp their front line.
Both players represent a clear shift toward a younger, more energetic attack capable of scoring goals consistently.
If all goes to plan, Mbeumo will join the squad for their pre-season tour, signaling the dawn of a new era at Old Trafford under Amorim.
United fans — get ready. The rebuild has officially begun.
