Bryan Mbeumo ‘picks between Man Utd & Tottenham’ as transfer agreement struck

His performances helped Brentford achieve their highest-ever Premier League finish, securing 10th place.

The Cameroon international’s stellar form has drawn interest from both United and Tottenham, but reports indicate that he has set his sights on a move to Old Trafford.

United are currently the only club engaged in formal negotiations with Brentford, working to finalize a transfer fee for the winger.

With Thomas Frank expected to take charge at Tottenham, Spurs’ transfer plans could shift, given his long-standing relationship with Mbeumo during their six years together at Brentford.

However, speculation about Tottenham attempting to hijack the deal remains premature.

Mbeumo was one of the standout performers in the Premier League last season, stepping up in the absence of Ivan Toney, who left Brentford for Al-Ahli in the Saudi Pro League.

He played every minute of the league campaign, contributing to Brentford’s 66-goal tally.

The dynamic winger netted twice in matches against Southampton, Ipswich, and Brighton, while also scoring against Tottenham, Arsenal, Chelsea, and Newcastle.

Having earned 22 international caps for Cameroon, Mbeumo was reportedly closing in on a move to Manchester United late last week.

Over the weekend, reports emerged suggesting that Tottenham were preparing to disrupt Manchester United’s pursuit of Mbeumo, having identified his Brentford manager, Thomas Frank, as their preferred successor to Ange Postecoglou.

Frank is reportedly eager to bring Mbeumo and his teammate Nathan Collins to Spurs if he takes charge of the Europa League winners.

However, Mbeumo seems to have already settled on his next destination, with the lure of Champions League football failing to sway him toward a move within London.
