Manchester United fans can finally breathe easy! The Red Devils have completed their second major attacking signing of the 2025-26 summer transfer window, landing Cameroonian international Bryan Mbeumo from Brentford.
After the arrival of Brazilian forward Matheus Cunha, United continue to strengthen their front line, answering head coach Rúben Amorim’s call for attacking reinforcements. With Mbeumo’s addition, United appear committed to revamping their offensive options for the new season.
Bryan Mbeumo Signs Five-Year Contract at Old Trafford
Manchester United confirmed that Bryan Mbeumo has signed a five-year contract, with an option to extend for an additional year. The club reportedly paid £71 million to secure the forward’s services, with £65 million paid over four installments and £6 million in performance-related add-ons.
After two failed bids, United’s third and final offer was accepted by Brentford. The 25-year-old forward joins after a standout season in the Premier League, where he scored 20 goals. During his six-year stint with Brentford, Mbeumo netted a total of 70 goals, establishing himself as one of the league’s most consistent attackers.
Mbeumo: “United Is the Club of My Dreams”
In his first official statement, Mbeumo expressed his joy at joining Manchester United:
“As soon as I knew there was a chance to join Manchester United, I had to take the opportunity to sign for the club of my dreams – the team whose shirt I wore growing up,” he said.
He added that he’s eager to develop under Rúben Amorim and is motivated to grow alongside world-class teammates:
“My mentality is to always be better than I was yesterday. I believe I have the spirit and character to reach new levels here.”
United’s Vision: Competing for Major Titles
The Cameroonian striker spoke highly of the club’s direction and ambition:
“Everyone told me about the exciting atmosphere at United and the long-term plans in place. This is a massive club, with an incredible stadium and passionate fans. We’re all determined to fight for the biggest trophies.”
With two new signings already secured, Manchester United are signaling clear intent for the 2025/26 season. Fans now eagerly await what the rest of the transfer window might bring.
