Manchester United have reached a club-to-club agreement with Brentford for forward Bryan Mbeumo in a £70 million package, with the player’s contract reportedly agreed weeks ago as he insisted on joining the Red Devils above all other suitors.

The Cameroonian winger, who scored 20 Premier League goals last season, is expected to undergo a medical soon and join United’s squad for their upcoming US preseason tour.

This signing marks United’s second major addition this summer and bolsters their attacking options after a disappointing goal-scoring record last season.

The club plans to pursue a new striker in the coming weeks, with the departure of key forwards such as Anthony Martial, Jadon Sancho, Marcus Rashford, and Alejandro Garnacho likely critical to balancing the budget.

Fans and pundits view Mbeumo as a hardworking, Premier League-proven talent who fits Ruben Amorim’s tactical style and can deliver immediate impact
