Mbeumo Eyes Manchester United Move as Brentford Faces Tough Decision

Bryan Mbeumo, the highly-coveted forward for Brentford has told reporters he wants to move to Manchester United during this transfer window. The 24-year-old has already reportedly reached personal terms with the Premier League giants in principle. He joined up with the Bees for pre-season training on Monday. Now, the fate of his future looms large over the club.

Mbeumo was a revelation last season, scoring 20 times in the Premier League. This feat crowned him as an iconic player with Brentford. He moved to the club from Troyes in 2019 for just over £4 million. Since then, the Argentine has established himself as one of their most important attackers. Selling Mbeumo would represent a significant loss of goals and attacking prowess for Brentford, who are keen to maintain their competitive edge in the league.

Mbeumo still hopes of one day playing for Manchester United. He has made clear his contentment to remain at Brentford should a transfer fail to materialize. With only a year left on his current contract, along with an option for an additional year, the club faces a challenging decision regarding his future.

Brentford’s management is aware that any deal for Mbeumo would likely have implications for their other star forward, Yoane Wissa. Additionally, according to the above-linked reports, obtaining a transfer for Mbeumo would almost definitely preclude selling Wissa. This makes the club’s plans for the immediate future exceedingly challenging.

With the transfer window wide open, what a time to be alive. Both teams and supporters alike have their eyes trained on the outcome of this great experiment. Brentford have done well, it seems, to weigh up the financial benefits of a possible transfer. Meanwhile, they have to consider the cost of losing one of their leading scorers.
