The Cameroon international forward has already signed a contract with Manchester United, and his move to the club is now confirmed. Mbeumo was a key player for Brentford last season, scoring 20 goals and providing eight assists. His departure will likely impact the team's attack, which struggled to find its footing last season.

Brentford had been seeking a transfer fee exceeding £62.5 million, which is the amount Manchester United paid to sign Matheus Cunha from Wolverhampton Wanderers this summer. The club has done well to secure a higher price for Mbeumo, who was signed from Ligue 2 side Troyes in 2019 for £5.8 million.

Mbeumo's departure will likely see Brentford reinvest the funds in new players ahead of the new season. The team will be under new management, with Keith Andrews taking the reins, and may need to replace Mbeumo's striker partner, Yoane Wissa, who could also leave the club.
