Manchester United Transfer Update: Bryan Mbeumo Deal Details Revealed

Latest Manchester United transfer news and gossip with the latest on the future of Brentford star Bryan Mbeumo.

Manchester United are closing in on the signing of Bryan Mbeumo from Brentford.

United have identified Mbeumo as one of their priority targets for the summer transfer window. Three bids have been made to the Bees for the Cameroon international, with a breakthrough in negotiations finally made on Friday.

Ruben Amorim will be busy preparing the United squad for the campaign ahead, with pre-season fixtures looming in the days and weeks ahead. United will be hoping to have Mbeumo link up with Amorim's squad ahead of the new Premier League season.

Here, the Manchester Evening News takes a look at the latest on United's quest to sign Bryan Mbeumo.

Deal agreed

As reported by the Manchester Evening News on Friday, United have finally agreed a deal with Brentford to sign Mbeumo this summer. The deal will include an initial fee worth £65million plus a further £5million in add-ons. This means the total package for the transfer will reach £70million if all add-ons are met.

United will be hoping to complete a deal for Mbeumo in time for the forward to feature on their pre-season tour of the United States.

Medical latest

With United now agreeing a deal to sign Mbeumo, the forward will now be expected to complete a medical before finalising his move to Old Trafford. The Athletic has reported that the medical will take place this weekend before the transfer is formally completed.

Once a medical is completed, United will then look to wrap up the transfer before an official announcement is made.

Thomas Frank verdict

Tottenham Hotspur's new manager, Thomas Frank, worked alongside Mbeumo during his time as Brentford boss. As news emerged that United had agreed a deal to sign Mbeumo, Frank was asked about the impending move for the forward.

\"Bryan Mbeumo, of course, is a fantastic player. I have been with him for five years,\" said Frank in a press conference on Friday.

\"I think he deserves the move, no matter where he goes. And as a player, I wish him all the best when you've been with a player for so long.\"
