Manchester United’s pursuit of Bryan Mbeumo has received a significant boost, with reports confirming the Brentford winger has rejected approaches from Tottenham Hotspur to prioritize a move to Old Trafford this summer.
Why Mbeumo is Committed to Manchester United
1. Amorim’s Project Outweighs Tottenham’s Late Interest
The 26-year-old Cameroonian international has been a top target for Manchester United since Ruben Amorim emerged as the leading candidate to take over as manager. The incoming boss sees Mbeumo as a key piece in rebuilding United’s attack, offering versatility, directness, and Premier League-proven quality.
Despite Tottenham’s late attempt to hijack the deal, Mbeumo has reportedly already agreed to personal terms with Manchester United, making a move to North London highly unlikely.
2. Reuniting with Thomas Frank? Mbeumo Says No
Tottenham’s interest became serious when they targeted Brentford’s Thomas Frank as a potential replacement for Ange Postecoglou. The Danish manager, who worked closely with Mbeumo at Brentford, pushed Spurs to make a move for the winger.
However, according to the Manchester Evening News, Mbeumo has flatly rejected the approach, remaining fully committed to United’s project.
3. Deal Accelerating – Could Be Done Within Days
United are now in the final stages of negotiations with Brentford, and the transfer could be finalized before the weekend. The fee is expected to be in the range of £40-50 million, reflecting Mbeumo’s importance to the Bees and his proven Premier League pedigree.
What Mbeumo Brings to Manchester United
-
Premier League Experience – 45 goal contributions in 150+ appearances for Brentford
-
Versatility – Can play RW, LW, or even as a secondary striker
-
Direct Dribbling & Pace – Adds much-needed width and 1v1 threat
-
Work Rate – Fits Amorim’s high-pressing system
Tottenham’s Miss & What’s Next for Them
Spurs’ failure to land Mbeumo leaves them scrambling for alternatives, with:
-
Nico Williams (Athletic Bilbao)
-
Michael Olise (Crystal Palace)
-
Jarrod Bowen (West Ham)
…all on their radar.
Fan Reactions: United Fans Elated, Spurs Left Disappointed
Man Utd Supporters:
“Finally, a proper right winger! Mbeumo is exactly what we need.”
“If Amorim wants him, I trust the vision. Get it done!”
Tottenham Fans:
“Another target slips away… What’s our transfer strategy?”
“We should’ve moved faster. Now we’re stuck with Kulusevski.”
A Smart Signing for United?
Mbeumo may not be a glamour name, but he’s a low-risk, high-reward signing who:
Knows the Premier League
Fits Amorim’s tactical style
Won’t demand superstar wages
If United wrap this up quickly, it could be one of the most efficient deals of their summer.
