Bryan Mbeumo says he is excited for the future of Man Utd after completing move to club | OneFootball

Manchester United have confirmed the signing of forward Bryan Mbeumo from Brentford.

The Cameroon international joins on a contract until 2030 for a fee of around £70m, ending a long running transfer saga.

“As soon as I knew there was a chance to join Manchester United, I had to take the opportunity to sign for the club of my dreams; the team whose shirt I wore growing up,” Mbeumo told the club after completing his move.

“My mentality is to always be better than I was yesterday. I know that I have the spirit and character to reach another level here learning from Ruben Amorim and playing alongside world-class players.

“Everybody told me about the environment that is being created here and how exciting the plans are for the future. This is a massive club, with an incredible stadium and amazing fans, we are all really determined to challenge for the biggest trophies.”

United had been trying to agree a deal for the forward for most of the summer transfer before finally securing his signature.

Mbeumo scored 20 Premier League goals in 38 appearances last season for Brentford, who he spent six years with – helping the club to win promotion to the Premier League and playing a key role in helping them stay there.

“Bryan’s goals and assists record in the Premier League is exceptional, his remarkable consistency has put him amongst the most productive players in England for the last three seasons,” Man Utd director of football Jason Wilcox said.

“Bryan’s belief in our project and determination to join the club confirmed that he was the perfect fit for Manchester United and the culture that we are developing.

“We are delighted to have secured another one of our primary targets ahead of the pre-season tour. The experience in the US will be the perfect opportunity for Bryan to work with Ruben and his new team-mates as we prepare for an exciting season ahead.”
