🚨Why Manchester United Remain Confident of Bryan Mbeumo Transfer Despite Tottenham Interest
Manchester United remain firmly optimistic about their chances of signing Bryan Mbeumo from Brentford this summer, even as Tottenham Hotspur circle the talented forward. Despite Spurs’ interest being fueled by new manager Thomas Frank—who coached Mbeumo at Brentford—United believe they have the edge in securing the 25-year-old’s signature.
Player Preference May Prove Decisive
One of the key reasons for United’s confidence is Mbeumo’s own interest in the move. Sources close to the player suggest that he views Manchester United as the ideal next step in his career. Having established himself as a consistent Premier League performer with Brentford—scoring 20 goals last season—Mbeumo is now looking for a bigger platform to showcase his talent. United, under new management and with a clear strategy for rejuvenation, offer exactly that.
Mbeumo is reportedly excited about the prospect of working with Ruben Amorim, who sees the French-Cameroonian attacker as a perfect fit for his fluid, high-energy system. The ability to play as a right winger, second striker, or even centrally gives Mbeumo tactical flexibility that Amorim values highly. It’s also believed that Mbeumo has already given informal approval to a potential move to Old Trafford and would be willing to reject rival offers if United meet Brentford’s valuation.
While Tottenham’s interest is genuine and bolstered by Frank’s personal connection to the player, the North London club face financial constraints. They are still navigating the aftermath of recent big-money signings and may struggle to match both Brentford’s asking price—believed to be around £60 million—and the player's wage demands, reportedly nearing £250,000 per week. United, in contrast, are prepared to meet those terms and have already opened lines of communication with Brentford’s representatives.
Ultimately, Manchester United’s belief in securing Mbeumo hinges on a simple but powerful factor: the player wants to join them. In modern transfers, especially when multiple clubs are involved, that preference can often be the deciding element. If United can finalise a deal swiftly, they’ll not only secure one of the Premier League’s most underrated forwards but also land a statement signing that signals their intent for the 2025/26 season.
With personal terms likely to be agreed quickly, United now only need to finalise a fee—something they are confident of doing in the coming weeks.
