Manchester United Are Keen On Recruiting This Brentford Winger: What Will He Add To Amorim’s Team? | OneFootball

In a recent post on X, Sky Sports reporter Lyall Thomas mentioned that Manchester United are keen on recruiting Brentford winger Bryan Mbeumo. It has been stated that the Red Devils have registered their interest in acquiring the services of the Cameroonian wide player this summer.

Mbeumo’s Impressive Form In The Premier League

Mbeumo enjoyed a great campaign at Brentford recently as he was responsible for putting in a run of productive displays for them in the Premier League. The Cameroonian talent scored 20 goals and grabbed nine assists in 42 matches for the Bees last season across all competitions.

The 25-year-old performed well to average 2.08 shots per 90 minutes in Premier League football. He also kept 43% of his attempts on target. However, Mbeumo needs to work on improving his ball distribution in the opposition half after completing just 66.1% of his attempted passes in top-flight football (stats via fbref.com).

Mbeumo is under contract at the English club until the end of next season which could open the door for Man United to sign him on a cut-price deal this summer.

What Will Mbeumo Add To Manchester United Boss Ruben Amorim’s Team?

Mbeumo excels at finding some space for himself to get some strikes in at goal. He has proven himself to be a good finisher in the final third and can create a few inviting chances for his teammates from the wide areas.

The Cameroonian sensation is a decent dribbler with the ball as well but needs to work on improving his link-up play up top. He mainly plays as a right-winger but can also function as a centre-forward if required.

Mbeumo would add more quality and depth to Man United head coach Ruben Amorim’s frontline. He has what it takes to nail down a regular first-team spot at Old Trafford next season.

At 25, Mbeumo has his peak years ahead of him which makes him an excellent option for the Red Devils to consider in this summer transfer window. He might even help Man United get back to challenging for a European place in the Premier League over the next few years. With all things considered, Amorim should focus on going all out to bring Mbeumo to the Theatre of Dreams this off-season.
