Manchester United are reportedly eyeing a surprise move for Brentford forward Bryan Mbeumo, with manager Ruben Amorim said to be a huge fan of the player. According to sources close to the club, United are weighing up a bid for the Cameroon international, who has been in impressive form for the Bees this season.
Mbeumo, 24, has scored 11 goals in 25 appearances for Brentford, helping the club to a surprise push for European qualification. His pace, skill, and finishing ability have caught the eye of several top clubs, including United, who are said to be keen on adding him to their attacking options.
Amorim is believed to be a long-time admirer of Mbeumo, having tracked his progress since his days at Troyes in France. The United manager is said to be impressed by Mbeumo’s versatility, with the forward capable of playing anywhere across the front line.
While Brentford are likely to be reluctant to sell one of their star players, United’s interest in Mbeumo is said to be genuine. The Red Devils are reportedly willing to offer a significant transfer fee to secure the forward’s services, with some estimates suggesting a bid of around £40 million could be enough to persuade Brentford to sell.
If United are successful in their pursuit of Mbeumo, it would be a major coup for the club, who have been struggling to find consistency in their attacking play this season. With Mbeumo on board, United would have a potent attacking threat, capable of causing problems for even the best defenses in the Premier League.
It remains to be seen whether United’s interest in Mbeumo will come to fruition, but one thing is certain – the Red Devils are in desperate need of a player with the forward’s quality and potential.
