Sky Sports: MU expected to open talks with Brentford this week over Mbeumo

  /  JK25

According to the latest report from Sky Sports journalist Dharmesh Sheth, Manchester United are expected to open negotiations with Brentford this week regarding the signing of Bryan Mbeumo.

Reports indicate that Mbeumo is interested in joining Old Trafford, which has given United a boost. The 25-year-old forward has long been admired by the club, and they believe he fits perfectly into Rúben Amorim’s tactical system.

However, United are not alone in the race for Mbeumo, as multiple Premier League clubs are also interested.

With the uncertainties surrounding the futures of Alejandro Garnacho and Bruno Fernandes, United are looking to act quickly in the transfer market to give Amorim more time to integrate new players before the start of the new season.

Brentford are open to listening to offers for both Mbeumo and Yoane Wissa, but are not in a hurry to sell. Internally, the club believes that if an offer meets Mbeumo’s valuation, he could make a move to a bigger club this summer.

Mbeumo is valued at over £60 million, and while his contract has two years left (one year plus an optional one-year extension), this gives Brentford a strong negotiating position.
