Man Utd 'Agree Deal' to Sign 'Unstoppable' £70m Star

Manchester United's agreement to sign Bryan Mbeumo from Brentford may boost their offensive capability, making them a strong contender for upcoming matches, and potentially influencing betting outcomes in their favor.

Manchester United have now finally agreed a deal to sign Brentford forward Bryan Mbeumo, according to Football Transfers this afternoon.

United have been in talks with their Premier League rivals over a deal for the 25-year-old for more than a month, but according to journalist Steve Kay, the Red Devils made a 'major breakthrough' on Monday morning that has led to an 'agreement' between all parties.

According to Kay, Football Transfers have confirmed that United have finally made the progress needed to agree a deal with Brentford for Mbeumo, who has been the club's top target for more than four weeks.

The report says that the Red Devils have had 'several' bids rejected by the Bees for the Cameroon international, but that common ground was found on Monday morning during fresh club-to-club talks.

Brentford have been asking for €80m (£70m) in total, although Football Transfers haven't disclosed exactly what the fee that has now been agreed is.

With the final hurdle now out of the way, the report adds that the move for Mbeumo - who has been described as 'unstoppable' by Alan Shearer - could now be finalised in the next hours and days.

Mbeumo has made it clear for a long time to Brentford and other suitors that he only wanted to join United, and he is now about to secure his 'dream' move, according to Football Transfers.

Newcastle United and Tottenham Hotspur were among the clubs who had to give up on their pursuit of the forward, who has just enjoyed his best ever Premier League campaign for Brentford.

Key Statistic: Bryan Mbeumo scored 20 goals and provided eight assists in 38 Premier League outings in 2024-25.

Fabrizio Romano wrote in his GIVEMESPORT newsletter last week that United were confident of completing a deal for Mbeumo before they flew out to the US for their pre-season tour, and it appears as though they could get their wish.

Mbeumo - who has reportedly agreed to terms of £180,000-a-week - will boost a frontline that already includes Cunha, Amad Diallo, Rasmus Hojlund and Joshua Zirkzee, with another striker potentially set to follow later in the window.

RB Leipzig striker Benjamin Sesko's agent has been in talks with Manchester United over a potential move.

All statistics according to Sofascore and Transfermarkt - correct as of 14-07-25.

Manchester United have 'agreed deal' to sign 'unstoppable' £70m star for Ruben Amorim.
