What Bryan Mbeumo has told Brentford about Manchester United move, ‘As soon as possible…’
Manchester United have been working on a deal to sign Bryan Mbeumo for weeks, but the transfer saga could now be ending.
Ineos won’t be pleased with how long it has taken to reach an agreement to sign Bryan Mbeumo this summer, with several other deals needing to be done before the season starts.
Omar Berrada explained that they were taking their time with negotiations to ensure the best possible deal for Manchester United.
Despite this intention, United’s second bid for Mbeumo was north of £60m, just like Brentford wanted initially. An agreement is thought to be very close, with Brentford and United discussing add-ons right now.
It is only a matter of time until the winger signs his new contract and joins United in pre-season training on July 7th.
Now, it has emerged what Mbeumo has been telling Brentford about the deal.

Bryan Mbeumo clear with Brentford over Manchester United transfer
Internally at Old Trafford, United view Mbeumo as a more impressive coup than Cunha, which speaks volumes as to how well Ineos have done to get both.
When speaking after his arrival, Cunha admitted joining United was a dream, and now it appears Mbeumo is of a similar mindset over his potential move.
Now, Mbeumo’s thoughts on the deal have been made clear by Fabrizio Romano, who spoke on his YouTube channel on Wednesday.
“There is real optimism at Manchester United that they can reach an agreement with Brentford for Bryan Mbeumo. We know they have an agreement with the player.
“What I can add today is that the player has been clear with Brentford. He loves Brentford, he has a fantastic relationship with all the people at the club, but he has been clear in telling them that going to Manchester United for him is a dream move.
“He would like to go to Manchester United as soon as possible.”
Mbeumo’s desire to join United saw him snub Newcastle and Tottenham, making it an impressive coup for Ineos.

If Mbeumo does start day one with Amorim, it would be a virtual certainty that he will make his United debut on the 19th of July against Leeds. If not here, he may have to wait until the pre-season tour to the USA.
However, Mbeumo’s competitive debut for United won’t be until the 17th of August when the Premier League kicks off against Arsenal.
Mbeumo will make his Old Trafford bow the week prior when United welcome David de Gea and Fiorentina on the 9th of August.
