Earlier this summer, it became clear that Bryan Mbeumo had chosen a new club. The Cameroonian international with 20 Premier League goals last season, had singled out Manchester United. Nevertheless, negotiations have been going on for weeks, with the negotiators at Brentford and United pressuring each other to blink first. Now it is finally announced that the clubs have finished arguing.
It is The Athletic who report United and Brentford have agreed on the transfer fee for Mbeumo, which ends at £65 million, plus a maximum of £6 million in bonuses. Also transfer journalist Romano has posted his clapped and ready message: “Here we go”.

The Guardian reported on Thursday that Manchester United’s push to sign Mbeumo had stopped. This came after Brentford increased the price tag on the winger to £70 million, with Ratcliffe stating that they will not pay a pound over £65 million, which is their valuation of the player.
Now the clubs have agreed on a compromise and can finally sign. Manchester United fans can look forward to seeing one of the Premier League’s toughest and most effective attacking players thunder on in the red United shirt.
