US EditionJason Wilcox Has Made £60m Transfer Fumble as Man Utd Face Striker Deal Blow Amid Skewed Priorities
ENGLAND, JUL 14 – Manchester United and Brentford remain apart on valuation despite Mbeumo scoring 20 Premier League goals last season; Brentford demand over £65 million for their top striker.
- Bryan Mbeumo is currently still with Brentford and has returned to the club to begin preparations for the 2025/26 season, despite ongoing transfer negotiations with Manchester United.
- Manchester United has pursued Mbeumo for weeks, but Brentford rejected two bids including a £55 million offer, holding firm on a £63 million valuation.
- Mbeumo had an unbelievable 2024/25 season scoring 20 league goals, and his preference for Manchester United has been well publicised, though staying at Brentford remains possible.
- Brentford's football chief indicated that while there is strong interest in Mbeumo following his impressive season, any transfer will only proceed if the terms are satisfactory; otherwise, the player is expected to remain with the club.
- The stand-off suggests Brentford will maintain a high asking price while United remains patient, implying Mbeumo's departure this summer is uncertain but potentially imminent.
