Bryan Mbeumo, a Brentford player, has been signed by Manchester United for a five-year contract worth £71 million. The Cameroonian forward’s contract includes a £65 million fixed fee and £6 million in possible add-ons.
Mbeumo, who signed a contract that expires in June 2030 with an extension option of one year, arrived in time to join the United team that will travel to the United States on Tuesday for the team’s preseason tour.
The forward stated: “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. “My mentality is to always be better than I was yesterday. I know that I have the spirit and character to reach another level here, learning from Ruben Amorim and playing alongside world-class players.
“Everybody told me about the environment that is being created here and how exciting the plans are for the future. This is a massive club, with an incredible stadium and amazing fans, we are all really determined to challenge for the biggest trophies.”
After United scored just 44 Premier League goals in 2024-25, their lowest-ever single-season total in the renamed top flight, Mbeumo became a top target for the team this summer.
Mbeumo’s career started in Troyes’ youth system before he moved to Brentford in 2019 for £5.8 million.
Since then, he has scored 70 goals in 242 games for the west London club in all competitions, 20 of which were in the Premier League the previous season.
