Ruben Amorim’s Manchester United are closing in on the signature of Brentford attacking mainstay Bryan Mbeumo.

According to a report from Fichajes, Manchester United could soon complete the signing of Bryan Mbeumo. The Red Devils have been working on a potential transfer for some time, and they could finally get it over the line.

Mbeumo has only gone from strength to strength since joining Brentford back in 2019. He slowly established himself as a key figure in the team, and of late, he has been one of their mainstays.

The 25-year-old was on fire for them last season as he contributed towards 29 goals (20 goals, 9 assists) in his 42 outings. His performances have resulted in a lot of interest from across Europe.

Manchester United are one of the English giants who are keen on adding him to their squad. While other top clubs in the country have him on their wishlist, the Red Devils are the ones who are most serious about signing him.

Ruben Amorim is looking to revamp his attack, and he has given the green light to the signing of Mbeumo, who could take charge on the right flank. He could even feature as a number nine when needed, which will give the Portuguese manager great tactical flexibility.

United to finally seal Mbeumo signing

The Red Devils have been working on a potential transfer for weeks. They have finally intensified contact with his camp as well as Brentford. Having made significant progress in negotiations, United are hoping to get it done in the coming days.

While the Bees do have the option to extend his contract until 2027, they are aware that they will struggle to keep hold of him, especially given a tempting offer from the Manchester-based club. Amorim is keen on having him in his squad as he can add balance and goalscoring power to his attack.

His pace and finishing could certainly help a United side that struggled for goals last season. Recent developments suggest Mbeumo is set to leave London for Manchester. While other top clubs attempted to hijack the deal, the Red Devils remain confident of getting it done in the coming days, with the competition hardly a concern as the player is keen on joining them.
