Manchester United have reached an agreement with Brentford for the transfer of Cameroon international Bryan Mbeumo.
Having been linked with the Red Devils since the summer transfer window opened, United have agreed to pay Brentford’s £65m asking price.
Mbeumo could undergo a medical with the club before Ruben Amorim’s squad fly to the United States on Tuesday for their pre-season tour.
The 25-year-old winger is set to become United’s third signing of the summer after the arrivals of forward Matheus Cunha and left-back Diego Leon.
United submitted their first bid – worth an overall £55m – at the start of June. They failed with a second bid of £62.5m at the end of that month.
However, Brentford are satisfied with United’s latest offer, which is worth an initial £65m and could rise to £70m with £5m of add-ons.
Mbeumo, who joined the Bees in 2019 from Lorient, will become Brentford’s biggest ever sale.
United are on the verge of signing a player who is currently in his peak. Mbeumo recorded career-best figures in the Premier League last season for virtually every attacking metric, including goals and assists, chances created and touches in the opposition box.
He will serve as a great addition to Manchester United as the club hope to bounce back from their 15th place finish in the Premier League last season.
