Bryan Mbeumo Wants Manchester United Transfer but Brentford Not Ready to Approve Departure Yet. |
Manchester United’s interest in Brentford star Bryan Mbeumo is heating up, with reports confirming the Red Devils have submitted a massive bid worth IDR 1.3 trillion. However, Brentford have rejected the offer, and the forward’s future still hangs in the balance.
Manchester United’s IDR 1.3 Trillion Bid for Bryan Mbeumo Rejected by Brentford
Manchester United have reportedly had two bids turned down for the Cameroonian forward, the latest being equivalent to IDR 1.3 trillion, the same amount they paid for Matheus Cunha. Despite the substantial offer, Brentford remain firm, stating that they will only let Mbeumo go if the terms are right for the club.
Brentford’s sporting director, Phil Giles, confirmed the club is aware of Mbeumo’s preference to join Manchester United. Still, he emphasized that a move is not guaranteed unless a suitable agreement is reached.
Mbeumo Still Committed to Brentford Despite Manchester United Desire
While Mbeumo is reportedly eager to complete a move to Old Trafford, he is said to remain professional and committed to Brentford if the transfer does not materialize this summer.
“There’s strong interest in Bryan. His preference has been well publicized. But he’s also happy to stay if needed,” said Giles in an interview with Sky Sports.
Standout 2024 Season Draws Premier League Attention
Mbeumo’s performances in the 2023–2024 season were exceptional. He scored 20 goals and provided 7 assists in 38 Premier League matches, making him one of the top attackers in the league—only trailing behind Mohamed Salah (29 goals), Alexander Isak (23), and Erling Haaland (22).
His form has not only attracted Manchester United but also sparked interest from Tottenham Hotspur, now managed by former Brentford coach Thomas Frank.
Brentford’s New Coach Wants Mbeumo to Stay
Brentford recently appointed Keith Andrews as their new manager following Thomas Frank’s departure. Andrews, who previously worked with Mbeumo on set-pieces, hopes to keep the star forward at the club.
“He’s a brilliant player, and of course I want him here,” said Andrews. “I’ve worked closely with him and I understand how vital he is to our system.”
Brentford Facing Major Summer Changes
Brentford are already undergoing significant squad changes. Goalkeeper Mark Flekken has joined Bayer Leverkusen, and captain Christian Norgaard is reportedly on the verge of a move to Arsenal for IDR 315 billion (£15 million).
Losing Mbeumo would be another blow, but Andrews acknowledged the club’s long-term strategy and its openness to player sales when the terms are right.
Will Bryan Mbeumo sign for Manchester United this summer? The interest is genuine, and the player is keen—but Brentford are holding firm. With more negotiations likely, fans may have to wait a bit longer to see if Mbeumo becomes the next big signing at Old Trafford.
