In a recent report, Manchester Evening News claimed that Manchester United are in pole position to land Brentford attacker Bryan Mbeumo. It has been mentioned that the Red Devils are eyeing a move to bring the Cameroonian winger to Old Trafford this summer.
Mbeumo’s Impressive Numbers In The Premier League
Mbeumo enjoyed a productive campaign at the English club as he was responsible for putting in a series of impressive displays for them in the Premier League. The Cameroonian talent found the back of the net 20 times and secured nine assists in 42 matches for Brentford last season across all competitions.

The 25-year-old led the line well for the Bees and deserves some credit for attempting 2.08 shots per 90 minutes in the Premier League. He kept 43% of his shots on target. However, the Cameroonian wide player needs to improve his ball distribution after completing 66.1% of his attempted passes in the top tier of English football (stats via fbref.com).
Mbeumo is under contract at Brentford until the end of next season which could give Man United a chance to sign him on a cut-price deal this summer.

Should Manchester United Boss Ruben Amorim Bring Mbeumo On Board?
Mbeumo excels at finding some space for himself to get some strikes in at goal. He has got the vision to engineer a few decent chances for his teammates to score and is a good dribbler with the ball at his feet.

The Cameroonian sensation can chip in by scoring and creating his fair share of goals from the wide areas. He has already proven himself to be a top performer in the Premier League but needs to find a way to improve his link-up play in the opponent’s half.
We can expect Mbeumo to enhance the quality of Man United head coach Ruben Amorim’s attack. He has what it takes to help the Red Devils get back to challenging for European football in the coming years.
At 25, Mbeumo has his peak years ahead of him which makes him a good choice for the Mancunian club to consider this summer. With all things considered, Amorim would be wise to go all out to bring the Brentford star on board ahead of the new campaign.
