Man Utd Target Brentford Star as Villa Duo Attract Massive Interest

Interest growing in Brentford’s attacking duo

Brentford are facing a pivotal summer as key forwards Bryan Mbeumo and Yoane Wissa emerge as high-profile targets for clubs in both Europe and the Middle East. According to Fichajes, the Premier League side could receive upwards of €120 million if they decide to sell both players, a sum that would mark a significant moment in the club’s financial and sporting trajectory.

Mbeumo has enjoyed a standout campaign, registering 18 goals and 8 assists across 39 appearances. Wissa, no less influential, has scored 19 goals and contributed 3 assists in 36 outings. Their combined output has not only powered Brentford’s league form but also attracted admiring glances from far and wide.

Man Utd and Saudi interest heats up

Manchester United are among the clubs said to be actively pursuing Mbeumo, with a bid close to €65 million reportedly tabled. The report highlights just how much the Old Trafford hierarchy value his ability to influence matches in the final third.

At the same time, Wissa is garnering strong interest from Saudi Arabia. A €60 million proposal is believed to be under consideration, as Middle Eastern clubs continue their aggressive recruitment drive. “They want to replicate the Ivan Toney model,” says the report, referencing Brentford’s previous high-profile forward who rose to prominence before his own big move became a topic of debate.

Strategic decisions await Brentford

Should both transfers materialise, Brentford could collect close to €120 million—a transformative windfall that might help balance the books or reinvest across the squad. The club now finds itself at a crossroads: either cash in while the value is high or resist the financial lure to retain a forward line that has been central to their Premier League stability.

Future of Brentford’s frontline in doubt

With such significant figures on offer, the dilemma for Brentford’s hierarchy is as much philosophical as it is financial. Holding on to star talent demonstrates ambition, but selling at peak value is often pragmatic.

“Brentford will need to decide whether to keep this prolific duo or capitalise on the opportunities to strengthen other areas,” the report concludes.

Our View – EPL Index Analysis

Bryan Mbeumo has proven himself at Premier League level, is versatile across the front line, and brings both goals and assists. The stats don’t lie: 18 goals and 8 assists in 39 games is elite output for a player outside the traditional top six.

What’s even more appealing is that he’s done it consistently. He doesn’t disappear in big games. He presses, tracks back, and still has the composure to deliver in the final third. With United crying out for quality and depth in attack, especially with injury concerns lingering over several forwards, Mbeumo could slot straight in.

This isn’t just a short-term fix—it’s a long-term investment. At €65 million, yes, it’s a serious fee, but this isn’t a gamble. He’s Premier League-proven, and if United are serious about closing the gap to the likes of Liverpool, City and Arsenal, they need signings like this—young, hungry, and ready-made.
