Manchester United spent more than six weeks attempting to strike a deal that suited them for priority transfer target, Bryan Mbeumo. In the end, Brentford came out on top, pocketing a £71million package for a player they paid around £6m to sign from Troyes in 2019.

The Manchester United squad are reported to be delighted by the news of an agreement to sign Brentford forward Bryan Mbeumo. Mbeumo made clear his desire to sign for United at the start of the summer transfer window but was made to wait through two unsuccessful bids, before the Red Devils finally struck a deal worth £71 million ($95.3 million).

Liverpool have shoved Newcastle aside and agreed personal terms with Hugo Ekitike, Manchester United have made a third offer for Bryan Mbeumo and Arsenal are closing in on Viktor Gyokeres
