Bryan Mbeumo is a player who has dominated the news around Manchester United in the past few weeks, with attackers firmly stomping the mouths of all supporters.
The Brentford star has become one of the Premier League’s leading amulets after registering for 20 goals under the capital’s Thomas Frank throughout last season.
Due to his goal format, the Red Devils have been firmly winning the 25-year-old, even signing two separate bids for his signature.
The latest proposal, including add-ons, has been rejected, with Keith Andrews’ side separated from the Cameroonians for £70 million during the offseason.
He also said he hopes to move to Old Trafford this summer and he may be associated with the new striker if he takes action to join 2025/26.
Manchester United finds new strikers this summer
Victor Osimhen reappeared on the Manchester United roster this summer, with the Nigerian being the player who was interested after 37 goals on loan at Galatasaray last season.
He isn’t the only striker who has ever seen himself, and although the Swedes say he’s eager to join Arsenal, sports CP Talisman Viktor Gyokeres is still the player they want to sign.
However, according to the latest update from football insiders, another name has entered the mix in the past few days, with Ivan Toney’s players boarding the radar.
They claimed that the British striker seemed keen to return to the Premier League and returned to his homeland after joining the Arab side of the Saudi Arabian side less than 12 months ago.
The report also noted that the Red Devils hierarchy has been watching the 29-year-old, who “wanted” to join the club, scoring 30 goals in his 44 games in the Saudi league.
Why Manchester United’s latest goal will be the ideal choice for Mbeumo
As mentioned earlier, Mbeumo has always been a player, and his talent has attracted the attention of many supporters across the country, and his talent has attracted United’s keen interest in his signature.
However, he often plays right-wing roles, and if he moves to Old Trafford, he will have to change the position, which is likely to be the tenth role behind the striker.
He could thrive under Amorim’s leadership, especially if the Red Devils could join former teammate Toney to reach a deal for Cameroon International.
The 25-year-old has previously starred with the British striker in London, and the two have played side by side for four seasons, helping the Bees earn promotions from the championship and then secure their top flight form.
During the 2020/21 campaign, the two registered 59 combined goals and assists between them, Tony scored 31 times and Mbeumo provided 10 assists – both hitting percentages in the club.

The two accounted for two categories in three of their four years together at Brentford, with the only exception being banned for betting offenses in 2023/24.
Although no longer appearing together now, Toney, who was posted as “sensational” by journalist Simon Stone, still managed to score 30 times in 2024/25, 10 more than Mbeumo’s Tally.
However, the pair’s total last season scored higher than the team’s Red Devils, showing the additional threat the couple will bring to Old Trafford.
Since the former Bee striker seems to want to join Amorim’s squad this summer, it’s a deal worth exploring, the British have the experience of finding nets in England’s top flight.
If Mbeumo takes action, the two can replicate the form they produced in the capital, potentially again playing a huge role and helping United gain a place in Europe next season.
