Manchester United never give up on their attempt to sign Brentford star Bryan Mbeumo, but time no dey again as the club don enter race against clock to seal the deal.
With the 2025/26 Premier League season just five weeks away and United players already return to Carrington for pre-season, pressure dey mount for head coach Ruben Amorim to finish his squad rebuild early.
Cunha Don Arrive — Mbeumo Still Dey Pending
So far, United don sign Matheus Cunha from Wolves for £62.5 million, one of Amorim’s top targets. But after that, other transfer moves never really progress well.
Dem bin look sure to sign Bryan Mbeumo quick, and reports earlier talk say United even submit second offer of over £60 million for the Brentford forward. The move bin dey hot and close — until Brentford suddenly shift goalpost.
As it be now, United never submit third bid, and the deal don enter small delay mode.
Mbeumo Want the Move — But Time No Dey
The 25-year-old Cameroonian attacker don tell Brentford say he wan move go Old Trafford this summer. United sef dey interested, and both sides really wan make am happen. But time dey run.
With United fans don begin worry say this one fit turn saga, the club never get another signing lined up and player sales never start proper — which go be key to unlock more signings.
Pre-Season Tour Dey Near — Deadline Dey Tight
United go kick off their pre-season tour with a friendly against Leeds in Stockholm next week, and then fly go the United States few days later.
The club bin set one quiet internal target to complete Mbeumo signing before the pre-season tour, but that one don pass. Now dem dey aim say make the player join before the team fly go U.S. in about two weeks.
Dem first match for the Premier League Summer Series go be against West Ham on July 27 in New Jersey.
Why United Dey Push the Mbeumo Deal
The plan no be just to sign one big striker — United dey also look to strengthen their wide attack options.
If dem fit lock Mbeumo before the tour, him go join Cunha in attack — the duo combine for 37 goals last season. That go help reduce pressure on whoever United later sign as proper No. 9, which still dey top of their wish list.
United No Wan Waste Time Again
Coach Amorim go want most of him new players in camp early so dem fit understand team pattern, bond with squad, and be ready sharp for season opener against Arsenal.
So as dem prepare fly cross Atlantic, United need make serious move for Mbeumo now. If the transfer no happen before the tour begin, the chance to prepare with the squad go vanish.
Conclusion: Clock Don Dey Beat, United Must Act Fast
The player wan come. The club wan sign am. But the delay from Brentford and fee negotiations still dey block road.
If United really serious about making Mbeumo their second big signing, dem must move sharp — before the tour begin or risk losing momentum for the deal.
