Manchester United’s summer transfer business has been marked by patience and persistence, but the chase for priority target Bryan Mbeumo
With the new Premier League season approaching, the Red Devils are keen to add firepower to their frontline, yet their key target, Mbeumo continues to be caught in a tug of war between United and Brentford.
Unfortunately, this has left The Red Devils behind, as some teams have secured big-name signings, whereas United’s approach has been more cautious, balancing ambition with financial discipline.

The Cameroon international has stood out in recent seasons as one of Brentford’s brightest attacking talents, attracting interest from across England.
His combination of pace, skill, and goal threat has made him a sought-after player among top clubs.
According to David Ornstein via The Athletic, the gap between Manchester United and Brentford in the valuation of Bryan Mbeumo remains significant.
Both sides are several million pounds apart, and no major progress has been made in the past two weeks.
Despite this, discussions are still active as United continue to work hard behind the scenes to get the deal done.
The Cameroon international is a priority target for Ruben Amorim’s squad rebuild, and United hope to finalise the move soon to focus on other transfer targets.

Brentford, however, are firm on their price, valuing Mbeumo based on his impressive Premier League record and potential future resale value.
The standoff has led to speculation about how long negotiations might drag on, with fans growing anxious for clarity.
Brentford are also reportedly searching for Mbeumo’s replacement, with Omari Hutchinson being the standout name if the Cameroon international is to depart.
With the transfer window ticking down, United will be under increasing pressure to bridge the gap or risk missing out on their man.
Both clubs know the importance of a swift resolution, but for now, the divide remains wide.
