Mbeumo to undergo medical as Man Utd close in on £71m deal

The move, valued at £71 million, represents a major step in Manchester United's efforts to rebuild following a disappointing 2024/25 campaign.

The 25-year-old Brentford star is set to sign a contract running until June 2030, with an additional year as an option, signalling the club's long-term faith in his abilities. A formal announcement is expected shortly after the medical as United look to finalise their first marquee signing of the summer window.

The deal includes £65 million paid upfront and a further £6 million in performance-related add-ons. The club's willingness to invest heavily in Mbeumo reflects their desire for greater attacking dynamism, after a season where consistent end product in the final third was sorely lacking.

Mbeumo enjoyed a breakout season with Brentford, netting 20 goals in the Premier League and drawing attention from several top sides across Europe. His arrival at Old Trafford will be seen as a statement of intent, with the Red Devils aiming to re-establish themselves as title contenders under renewed leadership.
