Bryan Mbeumo issues instant reaction after learning Man United’s bid has been accepted

The protracted transfer saga surrounding Bryan Mbeumo has finally reached its crescendo, with the dynamic Brentford forward reportedly set to become Manchester United’s second significant acquisition of the summer. After a grueling five-week negotiation period, an agreement was struck between the two clubs on Friday, paving the way for the Cameroon international to make the move to Old Trafford. Sources close to the player indicate Mbeumo was understandably elated upon hearing the news, a culmination of sustained interest from the Red Devils that has intensified since the end of the last Premier League season.

Manchester United’s pursuit of Mbeumo has been one of the more persistent storylines of the current transfer window, with Erik ten Hag keen to bolster his attacking options with versatile, high-energy players. While the exact financial terms remain undisclosed, it is understood that United’s final improved offer met Brentford’s valuation, which had previously been a sticking point in discussions. The Bees had been resolute in their stance, keen to retain one of their key offensive talents, but the sheer scale and persistence of United’s approach ultimately proved too compelling to resist. Mbeumo’s consistent performances, particularly his impressive goal contributions and tireless work rate on the right wing, made him a prime target for a United side looking to add directness and cutting edge to their forward line.
