MANCHESTER United have had a £65m bid for Bryan Mbeumo accepted by Brentford.
The Cameroon international could undergo a medical with the club before Ruben Amorim’s squad fly to the United States on Tuesday for their pre-season tour.
The 25-year-old winger is set to become United’s third signing of the summer after the arrivals of forward Matheus Cunha and left-back Diego Leon.
United submitted their first bid – worth an overall £55m – at the start of June.
They failed with a second bid of £62.5m at the end of that month.
But the Bees are satisfied with United’s latest offer, which is worth an initial £65m and could rise to £70m with £5m of add-ons.
Mbeumo, who joined the Bees in 2019 from Troyes, will become Brentford’s biggest ever sale.
Mbeumo recorded career-best figures in the Premier League last season for virtually every attacking metric, including goals and assists, chances created and touches in the opposition box.
With a shot conversion rate of 23.53%, only Liverpool’s Mohamed Salah and Newcastle United’s Alexander Isak were more clinical in front of goal.
His work out of possession in key areas should also be noted. He won the ball back 32 times in the opposition third, ranking him third out of all Premier League players.
But perhaps Mbeumo’s unique selling point is his running threat with the ball at his feet. He was responsible for nine carries of more than five metres which directly ended in a goal being scored in 2024-25 – comfortably the most of any Premier League player last season.
